VSTi Disappearing in Acid Prio 4.0(b) -ACID Product Family

Subject:VSTi Disappearing in Acid Prio 4.0(b) Posted by: ihisert Date:7/5/2003 7:49:12 PM I've been using Synth 1 now for quite a while in Acid 4.0(b), and it's been working pretty well. However, when I got the Cakewalk DX-VST wrapper, there were some issues with Synth 1 loading twice (once for the DXi version and once for the VSTi version), so I moved the VSTi Synth 1 folder to a different directory. When I tried to re-scan for VSTi's in Acid, with a new directory pointing to where the new Synth 1 folder was, Synth 1 completely disappeared. All the other VSTi's were fine. I uninstalled Acid, and the re-installed it, and it was Synth1 showed up again for one or two sessions, and then it disappeared again. I don't want to have to uninstall and reinstall Acid every time this happens. Is there a way around this? I don't know if this was a bug that was fixed in the 4.0(c) or 4.0(d) patch, but I reluctant to install the patch because there are known issues with those patches and Sonar 2.2. Does anyone have any insight? Thanks! Ian

I went out on a limb, though, and installed the 4.0(c) patch, and the problem corrected itself, and, best of all, all my Sonar 2.2 Cakewalk effects still work (so far). No problems (as of yet). I still had to do the Sonic Foundry plug-in swap (original 4.0 DX plug-ins copied over 4.0(c) plugins) to get Sonic Foundry's plugins to work in Sonar, but I knew I'd need to do that anyway until Cakewalk comes out with the 2.3 patch.
