I am having trouble with my VST instrument “Serum”. I installed it to my PC to the D:/ drive. And within Cubase I searched for the VST. So far there are no problems. But everytime that I close Cubase and open it, i have to do the same “search and find” procedure. I also have Keyscape and Omnisphere as a VST and I don’t have any problems to add them over and over again.
When I go to the VST manager I have to manually add the D:/ drive, where Serum is located. But everytime I close the application and opening it I have to repeat these steps.
Either you can find a crash dump file in the folder, or you can try to change any (other) obvious settings (for example in Preferences) and double-check, if the settings remains after Cubase restart or not.
To make an alias, it depends, if you are using macOS or Windows. But in general if you right-click to the file, I believe, there is an option to create an alias on both systems.
