Subject:Help No VSTs work Posted by: MINDCRIME Date:1/8/2005 12:04:48 PM I have both cool edit pro and last year I updated to soundforge 7.0 I never ever had any problems with either of these, I installed my update of acid 5.o and things worked for awhile, I bout a new dell 8400 windows xp after about a month of it all working great, I can no longer use vst plugins in either soundforge or cool edit, it says they are there but when I click on one the program crashes, The vst's work in Acid 5 and my sonar 3 but no longer in these two programs, Im ot real computor smart, so if anyone has simple Ideas I would apreciate it, I already tried reinstalling the VSTs twice, same results, Thanks

I use a wrapper from spin audio to allow some access to some vsts. I must have missed something major in my set-up. When I want Sf7 to rescan for plugins there is a Registry key that can be deleted ( mentioned in help manual), maybe a rescan will help detect them all.
Subject:RE: Help No VSTs work Reply by: billybk Date:1/9/2005 6:11:04 AM There was a problem with the VST adapter that shipped with SONAR 4.0. Not sure of the version (I think it was 4.4.3.0 or earlier). Anyway, once you wrapped the VST's with this version, you could no longer use them in other DX hosts, like SF7 or ACID 4. It would cause a crash. The latest adapter (included in the 4.01 update), v4.4.3.3, fixed this problem. So you must either use this latest version or the version that came with SONAR 3 (I believe there was a latter update for that one as well). The VST's should work, in ACID 5, because it is using it's own internal adapter now. Billy Buck
