Vst Sony Plugins Folder Acid Pro

Select: Show Hidden files and folder Click: Apply Close the dialogue box Now go back to the my computer folder Click: C- Documents & settings - select the active user profile (not administrator but whatever your user is) - Local Settings - Application Data - Sony- Acid Pro - 7.0 in that final folder is where acidpro.plugincache is located. Now the VST is loaded into the 'Unavailable' folder and nothing can be done with it. I re-scanned the VST folder from within Acid but the plugin is still unavailable. What is the criteria that determines whether a VST is Failed, Ignored or Unavailable? Who typically is responsible for fixing these types of VST loading problems (Sony or MusicLab)? VST support in Acid includes parameter automation and tempo mapping. Acid Pro 5 also improves its DirectX plug-in support by adding tempo-controlled parameters to its modulation- and delay-based effects. On the organizational front, Acid Pro 5 adds a powerful Media Manager for the cataloguing of loop libraries. In the Plug-In Manager it was inserted in the 'Failed' folder. I double clicked it and it loaded. Thereafter it loaded ok each time I started Acid. I run Sony Acid Pro 7 (as 32 bit) on Windows 7 64bit. I have IK Multimedia s Amplitube series of VST plugins. Mar 17, 2012 - AutoTune is an additional plugin, sold by Antares, and it is not that cheap.

VST to RTAS Adapter seamlessly and transparently integrates your VST plug-ins in to Pro Tools, and offers full compatibility with the VST plug-in standard and Pro Tools 7.x and 8.x.The adapter uses virtually no CPU power or memory and makes a vast range of free and commercial VST plug-ins. I was previously using Windows ME on my PC then I just upgraded to XP. I reinstalled Acid Pro 4.0 and Battery but now Acid won't recognize Battery as a VSTi plugin! I've reinstalled Battery many times and told it specifically to install where all the rest of my VST plugins are. Acid recognizes all of the other plugins with no problem. Although I am still not quite sure what your problem is, maybe this helps, i don't know: The Kompakt version that comes with acid pro 6 is NOT a standalone version. It installs as a VST plugin and you have to set the proper vst plugin path in acid under options.

Overview

What are VST/VSTi?
VST plugins are generally run within a Digital Audio Workstation (like Sony Acid Pro; Audcacity; Cubase; etc.), providing the host application with additional functionality. Most VST plugins can be classified as either instruments (VSTi) or effects, although other categories exist. VST plugins generally provide a custom GUI, displaying controls similar to the physical switches and knobs on audio hardware. Some (often older) plugins rely on the host application for their UI.
This tutorial examplifies the usage and how to import third party VSTi plugins in Sony ACID Pro 4.0.

Step 1

Click on the 'Insert Soft Synth..' button on the upper side of the Mixer. If you dont see the mixer go to 'View' > 'Mixer' (Alt + 3)

Step 2

If your VSTI is displayed on the list, select it, click OK and skip to Step 4 of this tutorial.
If your VSTI isn't displayed (case you are importing a new VSTI), click on 'VSTI Preferences..'

Step 3

Clicking on 'VSTI Preferences..' will show the next window:
Insert the path to your VSTI folders and then push 'Refresh'. Your VSTI will be displayed. Push 'OK' to return to the previous window, select the VSTI from the list and click OK.

Step 4

ACID already ships with a VSTI called 'DLS Soft Synth', so I've selected this one for ilustration purposes.
Double click on the VSTI icon next to the mixer (on the right) and the VSTI will be displayed (on the left).

Step 5

Go to 'Insert' > 'MIDI Track'

Step 6

Step 7

On the new window Select the 'Piano Roll Editor' and paint some notes on the grid:

Step 8

After you are done with your MIDI you can now paint on the time line has a normal loop:

Step 9

The ACID PRO VSTI has many instruments available, if you are having problems sellecting a diferent instrument, note that earlier versions of this VSTI plugin had a bug that didnt allow you to do this. If this is your case, a workaround is:
  • Rigth-Click the 'MIDI track;
  • Select 'Properties';
  • On the new window select the 'List Editor';
  • Right-click the list and select 'Insert..'

Step 10

  • Select 'Patch' from the drop down list:

Step 11

  • Refering to the VSTI panel (has shown on Step 4 - on the left side of the image) you can see the various intrumenst and their 'Patch number' and 'Bank MSB'. Manually insert this values according to the desired instrument of your choise:

Mercury Waves and Antares have some kinda crazy initialization scripts (.ini) and also some pretty intensive graphical user interfaces(.gui's).

I couldn't tell you how many times I have seen this (on the forums and on my own computer with other vst's.)

What I recommend is COMPLETELY uninstalling everything pertaining to the VST, unless it came from Microsoft. (unlikely Mercury Waves or Antares needs anything from microsoft except maybe C++)

Anyway, uninstall them.
THEN get crapcleaner. Or CCleaner
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner
and then run the REGISTRY CLEANER. (it also just cleans up all your temporary files too if you want it too)

After the before mentioned VST's have been completely uninstalled, and your registry has no 'registry' of your install.

Turn off the computer.
Retrowave vst plugins. Then after about 20 seconds, turn on the computer. Free string section vst.

run through the re-installation after the computer has completely rebooted and is running stable after 20 minutes.
(You may try closing your anti-virus too as you install if you are insane)

If during this install, you still can't find the VST in Sony ACID
(Make sure to check out 'where' the installer said it was installing and the name in sony acid's preferences matches.)
