I can’t figure this out. I have the box checked ‘scan the usual folders’, but suddenly my SIR2 verb is missing, along with a few other plugins that used to show up. What happened? I haven’t moved anything yet WLE8 is now ignoring the plugins.
I did tell WLE8 to ignore the Padshop and Retrologue synths that I definitely cannot use in WLE8 - did this throw the program into plugin rejection mode? (Why would WLE8 allow a synth to pop up in it’s mastering program anyway? Is the scanner not sophisticated enough to recognize a synth from the same company?)
This is really odd. Have I created this problem by eliminating the synths? All these plugins still show up in C6.5 just like they always have - BUT NOT IN WLE8.
Also on the subject, why CAN’T the Steinberg slm128 plugin be used in WLE8?
In looking at the ‘i’ icon that describes/lists which folders WLE8 will scan for plugins, I see that there are 4 folders that it will scan. Well… one of those folders did not exist but I saw that I could create it without too much trouble. (It is unfortunate that I cannot direct WLE8 to choose the folder I want, eh? Or can I? I don’t see how.)
It is this folder (‘VstPlugins’) with it’s path: C Windows and Programs\Program Files\Steinberg'VstPlugins’.
So I created it and copied the .dlls into it. I told WLE8 to rescan the plugin folders and I am all good. WHICH DOES NOT SAY THAT I UNDERSTAND WHY THE PLUGINS WENT AWAY! No, I do not understand why this happened.
ALSO: One more time, why can’t I use the slm128 plugin from Steinberg?
Thank you, I understand. Well, since in either case I have to duplicate what is stored in a Cubase specific folder it doesn’t matter. I was hoping I could just direct WLE8 to the existing Cubase folder and not duplicate the .dlls.
