He split not long after the announcement that CbB was going to become Sonar and switch to payware.

Anyone know if he has been active elsewhere? What concerned me most with him leaving was the last post I remember included a comment about the intolerable heat in TX. I hope he is doing well.

Hmm. Turns out I already had this one, but when I open the About box it's credited to Steve "scook" Cook. S is the creator of multiple useful SONAR/CbB utilities and a user who is sorely missed around here. He split not long after the announcement that CbB was going to become Sonar and switch to payware.

Maybe he took over maintenance from bitflipper?

Anyway, my guess was that I had at least twice the number that @GTsongwriter does, and althought I fell short of that, I didn't fall short of it by much. Over 800. However, that doesn't count individual instruments in KONTAKT, MSoundFactory, and Decent Sampler

Does anyone actually care to see my full list?

Running this utility was a good thing to do for the sake of maintenance; I saw where there were a couple of duplicate installations.

Doesn't work for me. Tried as Admin but that didn't help  :^(

This is supposed to be the latest (and likely last) version of the "CbB Tools" suite, which includes VST Inventory. Make sure you're running the latest.

It's a link to Scook's Cakewalk utilities page.

Thanks @Starship Krupa that download worked! Wish @scook would come back!

Speaking of plugins. I just saw Ozone is at Version 12 as of a few days ago. I'd get a good price for upgrading from 9.

But, as usual the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

I'd also have to upgrade S1 because Ozone 12 won't work with my version of S1. So now my good deal just doubled in cost.

I'm curious.. you might be one of those that needs Blue Cat's Patchworks as a way to load it?  You could try that if Blue Cat's Patchworks works in your version of S1.  It can load just about anything.. my old version of Sonar Products 8.5.3 doesn't have VST3 capabilities and Blue Cat's Patchworks was able to load VST3 in my VST2 environment that Sonar Products 8.5.3 operates in... So.. Blue Cat's Patchworks is usually recommended to those who can't load certain plugins in their own DAW.. It's a workaround. 

Although... There is a cheaper plug-in That might work for you. I have never tried and does something similar. I think it's $24 that plug boutique.. which is much cheaper than patchworks and is more organized, but I've heard it uses a lot more CPU then patchworks.. and since ozone is super heavy.. You may want to go with patchworks.. But if you're trying to save money and you got a super computer.. Then you could go with this other one.. or at least try it out.. I haven't tried it out.. But I've heard good things.. The only reason I don't get it.. because it can be CPU heavy..

There's another plug-in that can do this.. It's an older plug in.. The same person that makes the plug-in doctor also makes a plug-in that can help you.. I think it's called DMF something like that. It's got more than that. It's like four letters or maybe it's 8... I don't know. It starts like DMF or DFM.. and I can load plugins too. 

So you're basically looking for something that can load ozone into your environment.. and all you have to do is get a plug in that can do that..

If anything, everybody will probably agree with me. Patchworks is probably the best one.
