Not only do the names of presets, if you’ve tried some Steinberg VTS before, leave a permanent mark on any open-source plugin, but now they’ve even gotten around to naming the VSTs themselves… bravo!
Why on earth is the THU VST now called TDR Kotelnikov? What a gift! Bravo!
Yes — we do test our changes before releasing them.
That said, the behavior you’re describing (THU VST being shown as TDR Kotelnikov) is something we can’t reproduce on our side so far. To help us investigate this properly, we’ll need clear, step-by-step instructions starting from a clean state.
Could you please confirm whether the following reproduces the issue for you?
Start VST Live
Create a new project
Switch to STACKS
Add a new Stack
What are the next steps after this point that lead to the renamed plug-in?
I understand you’re frustrated, and I’m sorry this is causing trouble for you. We’re genuinely trying to track this down, and detailed reproduction steps are the fastest way for us to do that.
Video recording from integrated webcam on my win11 laptop is still recorded at accelerated speed, almost double. tried to record me counting 1 2 3 4 with fingers at mteronome 120 bpm, it plays back at almost 220 bpm :d
After uninstalling version 2.2.80 and deleting C:\Users\Sergey\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg everything related to VST Live, 2.2.93 was installed and all settings were re-configured. The folder with VST 2 was specified. After rebooting and opening the old project, the name TDR Kotelnikov appeared in the stack instead of THU Overloud. Of course, if you delete it again in the stack and add THU | Overloud, the name will become correct.
Now about Steinberg plugins, if there was, for example, a delay from Steinberg in the insert, VST Live will remember this preset (NAME) and you will never be able to change it by replacing it with another VST in this insert cell, and this is extremely annoying!
