I just realized that I could post this in the FR forum instead of the general board
And I am not sure if this is already there… But I would like to be able to have a “Fave Folder” in that menu which comes up when I want to insert a plugin…
I have 1000s of plugins - currently a mixture of VST2 and VST3 - so some are in folders like “Dynamics” and some are in the “old manual folders” (for instance “Powered Plugins” (UAD)) … So some compressors are in the “dynamics” folder, some others in the folders were I put them in the VST Plugin folder…
When we are here - I thing just beeing able to choose beetween “sort by company” and the regular way of displaying them is not enough - sorting by company will give a big mess - and in my current setup it is messy as well because often I am not able to find a plugin because it is in the wrong folder ( Limiter A in the Mastering folder, Limiter B in the dynamics folder etc)…
In old VST2 days I was able to do all kind of managing using the explorer - organising those dll files manually.
So basically there are two things I would like to do:
-
Beeing able to manually manage/sort my plugins - at least beeing able to modify the list like I want
-
Some kind of “quick access” Folder/shortcut in the plugin menu where I can link my favorite plugins for faster access.
When you have 1000s of plugins and about 2 dozens of folders (manually and automatically generated) I find myself scrolling all the time through my plugins for finding my go to EQ etc…
OK a workaround is that I can just type a fragment of the name into the quickfind thing… “Pultec”… then the list shrinks down to 5 or 6 plugins only… But that’s not exactly what I want regarding the fave-folder (which should be placed on top for faster access) - because often I “feel” more the need for a plugin and the name is not always in my brain when I am in late night mix mode…
