CBJ,
 
Check your nomad vst folder, my guess is, it's probably in :
 
64 bits folder:   \Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\Nomad
 
or
 
32 bits folder:   \Program Files(x86)\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\Nomad
 
Move (do not delete yet) the Nomad folder elsewhere and re-install your full version of Nomad. You need to authorize the Nomad once more - depending if you've use online or offline authorization.
 
If you do install any vst from now onward, it's a good practice to install it elsewhere, and not in ..\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\ to prevent any future bundled locked vst to overwrite your full version. I've put mine into C:\DAW_VST\64\Nomad   ..for 64 bits, and add a new folder "C:\DAW_VST\64" for the vst scan.

I reached for a Nomad plug for the first time recently and was quite happy.  It was the Tube Driver thing, and I had an overly jangly Tele that needed to be roughed up a bit.  I started with the Hammond B3 drive preset and was very impressed.  Had to tone down some stuff, but the included EQ in that plug makes shaping the distortion very easy.  I'll be going back to that one.

Thanks John... I guess even an old grump such as I has an occasional value... ;-)

Hi Ben... I totally understand what you're saying about color... And as this is I art, we all seek and find different ways of achieving our inner drive's goals... Iw what I want is the color of a nod analog device, then that's what I'd seek, but for me these days, I simply use what I have to get what I want and I am very satisfied with the Sonar collection for achieving this. Over the years they've truly gone beyond my expectations in supplying tools worthy of any artist.... All the extras are a treat in one way or another. Some I use often and some I never seem to need...

I'm glad you're finding the tools you want for your art... I know how satisfying that is... Even the collecting itself is enjoyable. I've owned and/or used many of the hardware tools we discuss for many decades and love them for what they are too...

Funny, but back in the days of 2" tape, we were so much about getting rid of the coloration that devices had... The struggle to do so was the goal of most of the designers... Digital has now given us truly transparent tools so that we can apply their abilities without other consideration. I like the idea of our console emulator which does exactly that... And I'd love a plugin that was an updatable box of color... It does nothing but supply the color of various gadgets and much like convolution reverbs, it could be addd to with the color of any more devices.... I hope we see this soon...

For me most of the time, if I have a sound that I like but it needs some detailing, I'm very glad that I can do this without otherwise changing it's sound... That said, I love the console emulator and would love to see Cakewalk upgrade this to include many more consoles. I think it does a very good job of modeling the 3 boards it does...

meh
After reading this thread I have been playing with these....Is there a way to automate them?

Yes, as usual, click on the automation write button, play and move the Nomad controls.
