Well, it is transient-to be expected I suppose.....

kPerry that might work. I'm on Platinum now but before that the latest version I had was X1 expanded. Pretty sure boutique suite and TS-64 was in that edition, can anyone confirm before I go to the effort of trying? (I would have to re-download the install files).

Bristol_Jonesey thanks for confirming.
KPerry it was a great idea, it worked, yay!
X1 actually allows you very granular control over what you install, a lot more then CCC. So after downloading 6GB over installation files I ended up installing just TS-64 from a custom install. Then just a re-scan of VST's and viola!
Thanks to everyone on the forum who helped out, this was fixed thanks to you guys, no thanks at all to official cakewalk support who simply ignored my support requests...
Also really glad I bothered making the effort to fix it as there is a great pre-set called 'fat ba*tard' on TS-64 which is great for beefing up synth bass lines.
Once again thanks for the help!
 

Oh yes, made a copy in a different folder clearly marked! I'm bound to update boutique suite at some point in the future without thinking and overwrite it so I have the copy at the ready!
