Buss effects not loading in v6? -ACID Product Family

Subject:Buss effects not loading in v6? Posted by: Spectralis Date:4/3/2006 8:12:35 AM On loading an ACID 5 project into v6 the buss effects aren't being recognised. One of my projects is using UAD-1 Dreamverb on Buss A but this effect is not found by ACID 6. I've checked that ACID 6 has registered all the UAD-1 plugins so I don't understyand why it won't load Dreamverb into Buss A. All the other track based plugins in the project load fine. Is this a bug?
Subject:RE: Buss effects not loading in v6? Reply by: H2000 Date:4/3/2006 8:59:26 AM I sure hope so, 'cause I got tons of Acid 5 projects that I will have to refer back to. I'd love to test it out for you, but I can't seem to get Acid past the scanning VSTs phase of the splashscreen.
Subject:RE: Buss effects not loading in v6? Reply by: Spectralis Date:4/3/2006 12:13:42 PM I had difficulty with the VST/VSTi registration stage. I kept opening ACID 6 until it eventually opened without any VST's registered. It took a couple of tries before ACID registered my plugins. A few weren't recognised by ACID and have an exclaimation mark instead of a tick box next to them. I think Sony have updated the VST reg process since v5. I hope they check it again because it seems a bit dodgy. It would be useful to be able to open ACID in 'safe mode' without any VST's. A dialogue box identifying problem plugins would be a simple way of resolving this problem. A way of eliminating the problem plugins is to divide your plugins in half and then test which half works. By reducing the plugins by half at each stage it is easier to whittle down your plugin folder until the problem plugin is found.
