Re:How have you structured your VST folders? (32bit vs 64bit)

There are exceptions to this. For example, if I recall properly, Camel Audio's Alchemy plugin (a really great plugin, BTW), installs its entire library on the same drive as the VST DLL. This is very annoying, since it's a large library. I prefer all samples to be stored on separate drives. I can't recall if you can manually move Alchemy's sample files later (I've left them in the default location for now), but that's one example, that for performance and space-savings sake, you might consider putting it on another hard drive. FWIW, you can get the Alchemy samples placed elsewhere ... but I don't recall how you do that. All I know is that I managed to segregate the samples from the software, even in the absence of an install option (which would have been much appreciated).

- Sonar's 32Bit VST plugins get installed to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\VstPlugins
- Sonar's 64Bit VST plugins get installed to
C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\VstPlugins
- Third-party 32Bit VST plugins get installed to
C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins
- Third-party 64Bit VST plugins get installed to
C:\Program Files\VstPlugins
This keeps installs clean/organized... and offers total flexibility.
Resurrecting a fairly old thread ... My question is whether anyone bothers to segregate VST synths from VST effects. From the above and other posts in this thread, the answer appears to be "no". I'm going to be moving into my first 64-bit DAW environment quite soon, so I want to (hopefully) get it right the first time. So I thought I'd ask.

for instance, you can use Sonitus FX in Adobe Audition if you'd like... doesn't it make more sense to have all the audio software scan all the folders? In which case, it would make separating them in 4 different folders unnecessary. Cheap Coach Pursescoach factory outlet store

One thing is that it's a hassle to tell Sonar where all the plugs are when they're all over the drive. It's much easier to know they all live in a few well known places. On the other hand, give Sonar a vast number of folders to scan and it'll take correspondingly longer each time a scan is needed. But Sonar itself doesn't care one way or the other.

I also bought and installed JBridge which may or may not be part of 8.5.3 but I'm led to believe integrates as seamlessly as bitbridge does. I am on 8.3.1 so I had a little set up work with jbridge. Coach outletCoach outlet stores
