Jerry Pettit Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Very frustrating. User since 1992 and I have the latest version of Cakewalk by Bandlab. (Confirmed that just now). The last two VSTs--UJAM's "Cozy" and Wavefactory Equalizer-- that I've purchased are not scanning, thus not available. I can see that they are there in the proper directories (believe me, I've done this tons of times before)--but Cakewalk isn't scanning them. I've gone to Utilities/Cakewalk Plugin Manager and they are nowhere to be seen. Rescanning there does nothing. So...what do I do? *** SOLVED!! Went to Preferences/VST settings/Scan Options and turned back on "Automatic Background Scan". (It had been setto "Manual"--I don't recall being the one to do that). Clicked "Scan"--all is good.

scook Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 There is one condition I know of that will cause a plug-in to not be scanned. That is if the plug-in is a VST2 dll and is in the spec'ed VST3 path. Other than that, if the plug-in is the scan path, the VST scanner will attempt to load the plug-in at least once and register the result in the VST Inventory. Unless we have the log from the initial time these plug-ins were scanned, chances are we won't know what happened. Assuming the "Skipping VST2 plug-in in the VST3 folder" is not the issue and the plug-ins failed to scan the first time, they may be marked bad and are in the excluded list. If this is the case, to force scanning of excluded plug-ins in CbB Preferences File > VST Settings set Scan to Manual Scan Enable Rescan Failed Plugins, Scan in Scanbox and Generate Scan Log Click the Scan button Disable the Rescan Failed Plug-ins option (the two rescan options should normally be disabled reset the scan frequency as desired Look for the plug-ins, if they are not listed review the log and check the entries for the plug-ins. The ultimate hammer is VST Reset. Running a VST Reset clears the VST Inventory in the registry and completely rebuilds it. Make sure when running a VST Reset to enable the sandbox and logging options. These options are only available in Preferences, they are not available in the plug-in manager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 What if the plugins (UAD) show up in the scan log but will not show in the browser list or the plugins manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 check in your plugin manager - select the VST or VST3 grouping and select "show excluded" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
