Subject: [LUG] [LAW] VST Plugins chaos
Message #216845
I just had to re-install Logic Platinum 5.5 on Windows after my PC's C drive died and I've noticed the VST Plugins folder has disorganised itself. What I mean is that VST effects are now available as instruments and instruments available as effects (in fact they're all available everywhere). Furthermore, the subfolders within the VST folder are now ignored so I can no longer see the 'Dynamic' folder, or the 'Instruments' folder for instance - they all just show up in one big list. This is only the VSTs, Logic's plugs and the DX plugs are all fine. Before the big crash everything was fine; the VST folder was organised into sub-folders which contained the VSTs according to catergory (Dynamic, Reverbs, Modulation, Instruments etc.). After re-installing Logic I copied the entire VST Plugins folder from a backup CD into the same location as it was before - inside the Logic program directory - thinking everything would be hunky-dory. After seeing it wasn't, I removed it and tried re-installing the VSTs one-by-one, but that didn't work. Effects are still showing up as instruments etc. Although I can still work with this, I'd rather have it back the way it was. Yesterday I inserted a chorus effect into an instrument slot by mistake and Logic definitely did not like it. Any solution to this would be appreciated. My PC system spec is Pentium IV 2.4 Ghz with 512 RAM running WIN 98SE. The new drive is an 80gig with two partitions, one for windows and programs, the other for data. Audio goes onto another 40gig HD. Cheers, Andy M.
