Subject:VSTi Not showing??? Posted by: Spectralis Date:11/19/2005 10:39:32 AM I successfully used LiveSlice v1.2 VSTi demo in ACID 5. I bought the full version, deleted the demo and replaced it with the full version in my VST folder. I rescanned the VST folder but now ACID will only see LiveSlice as a VST effect. I've tried multiple rescans of the VSTi's. I removed the LiveSlice folder from my VST folder and rescanned and then replaced it and rescanned. Nothing helps! How do I solve this? LiveSlice works perfectly in Cakewalks Sonar 4 and in Ableton's Live 4. I think this is to do with ACID because it's happened once before with U-He's Filterscape VA. I replaced the demo with the full version. I tried rescanning but could not get it to show up in ACID as a VSTi. I don't know how it fixed itself but now Filterscape VA shows up. I just hope Sony will sort out ACID's cumbersome VST/VSTi implimentation with the next upgrade so that PITAs like the problem I'm having with LiveSlice will not happen in the future. I want to be able to edit VST/i features of individual plugins like turning on/off tempo based effects. And to force ACID to 'see' effects and be able to assign whether they are VST/VSTi would be very useful. Message last edited on11/19/2005 10:51:46 AM bySpectralis.

PITA's like this that waste hours trying to sort out are exactly why I want VST troubleshooting tools and greater control over VST in ACID. Anyone?

He suggested deleting the 'Plugs' registery key which I did. ACID rescanned everything and now LiveSlice and Filterscape show up in ACID as VSTi. Hail R.E! He is legendary!
