some attributes ie. plugin name, vendor for some vstpresets in mediabay are blank, until u click on them before they display. Its confusing because it shows for some VST presets of the same plugin. I know it’s trivial, but I need to distinguish presets for effect plugins from instruments when previewing VST presets in Mediabay.
Funny side story, I used to use Cubase without installing Mediabay, aka. mediaserver. I didn’t have this issue back then until I installed it.
well thats obvious for a steingberg plugin. i have a number of 3rd parties
The easiest way to fix this is to load up those presets in a given folder so that they are showing their plugin name and other information. Give them all a rating (1-5 stars, doesn’t matter) and that should save all the relevant information within the preset and make them visible in mediabay.
for a number of reasons I can’t have this as a solution. I think a good way will be to do a logical filter for plugins i don’t wanna see, leaving only instruments. I suggested this feature cld u help vote it, if you think its useful
I’ll say this, you’re more likely to get mediabay the way you want it by doing it yourself than hoping they will fix it. Good luck.
I might just edit the mediabay.db file, that wld be a faster
Any files that are inside of VSTsound containers such as factory soundbanks only show a certain set of attributes until selected. It’s just the way it is. Duration is one of them.
What’s vstsound? I just added path to favorites, Documents/vst3presets, just like any sample folder
have u not seen the screenshots posted?? You’re talking about something different
Yh , I’m referring to vst3presets for 3rd party plugins which are not part of vstsound, it’s under user content/vst3presets in mediabay
Ok, I don’t have any Arturia plugins to try so can’t help you. Haven’t seen that issue with any of my other vstpresets.
It happens for a number of 3rd parties I have
