Show only vst3 plugs?

[Jono J Grant]

Hey,

I've installed some izotope plugins and it installed vst2 and vst3 versions.

So in Cakewalk when I go to insert a plugin, I see two entries for each plugin, one vst2 and one vst3.

How can I get Cakewalk to only use the vst3 ones and only show them? Do I remove some dlls somewhere or is there another way to do it?

Thanks!

There is  a setting in Preferences called "Hide Related VST2 Plug-ins" under VST3 Migration, which does work as it is advertised to do.  Turn that checkbox on and see if that solves your dilemma.

And I was just asking about plug-in management a day or two ago.  You can pick up some things here:

It works but depends on plug-in manufacturers' to support the process.

I edited my post immediately after I posted.  I got confused with my wording.  My post is accurate now.

There are quite a few manufacturers who do not bother to support the VST2 hide feature

I just looked and it was already checked... so I guess izotope doesn't support that feature.

Can I find the vst2 dlls and move them? Or is it easier just to reinstall and uncheck vst2?

(Also wondering if I open an older project where I may have used a vst2 version, will it still find the plug if I only have the vst3 version?)

Thanks!
