  • Problems scanning VST plugins

I installed a couple of Soundtoys plugins, but they didn't show up.    When I opened Sonar, it says I have the same amount of plugins I had before I installed the Soundtoys plugins.   So I went to Edit, Preferences, etc,  and did a re-scan of VST plugins.  
But immediately it stopped at "Scanning C1 comp mono (0)" and would not proceed.   
I've tried to scan it a couple more times, but it keeps stopping there.  
 
Suggestions?
 
Thanks!
Greg

Hi Doktor -
I did that - except for number 3.  I don't understand that part.
 
The other issue is that it won't scan.   When I try to rescan plugins, it stops and doesn't scan everything.
 
Thanks,
Greg

so did u go to Prefs...File...VST Settings...VST Scan Paths and make sure the directory for your plugs was in the list before you scanned?

I believe your current issue is with Waves. There where changes to the scanner specific to Waves plug-ins, here is one of the threads about it http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3304786 I don't not use Waves plug-ins so have to rely on threads like this for suggested solutions.

Definitely an issue with Waves. Same thing happened to me the other day after purchasing a new Waves plug. VST scan hung on Waves Bass Rider. Had to uninstall all Waves then reinstall with the new Waves whatever. Then the scan went through fine.

OK, that's what I don't understand.   Not really sure how to add a direct line to my Soundtoys subfolder.

When in Preferences (P), under File, Vst Settings, choose add, and locate your Soundtoys folder.
All the best.

Scook:   When I updated Command Center, I saw the Jamaica Plain.   But (and this may sound stupid) I have no idea how to download it.   I found nothing that allows me to install it.   So I'm in the dark about that.
 
In the thread you shared, the guy had issues after installing Jamaica Plain.  I have not yet installed that.   So I don't know if Waves is the issue or not.   
 
Thanks,
Greg
