Perhaps one scan is reporting just VST's and the other is including DirectX plugs.

There are several ProChannel modules which are included that have not been mentioned. Are you reporting what you see in the current ProChannel strip or the modules available when trying to insert a module into the strip?.


Thanks for responding.  I didn't know about all of the other modules that were available until recently.  I found the button next to the power button on the Pro Channel that includes several modules i.e. BReverb, Console Emulator Bus, Console Emulator Channel, Saturation Knob, Tape Emulator, FX Chain.  Apparently these are all of the modules that can be added to the Pro channel strip.  I also see that you can have more than one instance of them on the strip.  I have a lot of learning to do.
 
I need to find a good source for all of this, any suggestions.

I have a lot of learning to do...I need to find a good source for all of this, any suggestions.

 
When I run into something problematic, I check out the documentation and/or do a google search on the site. Either way is much faster than posting in the forum - particularly because if it's pilot error, peoples' suggestions will often lead you astray because they'll assume you need a technical solution. There are also references like the Garrigus books, my SONAR columns in Sound on Sound, and the like.
 
The good news is that after a while, things fall into place and you can be very productive. The bad news is you can always learn more...not unlike playing a musical instrument. After doing recording for over 50 years (I got an early start, haha), I know just enough to get by...but when I don't, there's always the forums

I suppose it is a bad idea to use the reverb on all of the vocal tracks instead of busing all vocals to send with effects right?



 
Correct. It's normal to insert sends on any tracks which would benefit from a single Effect, such as reverb or delay and use a bus to insert your choice of reverb plug.
Make sure the effect is set to 100% wet, or kill the dry signal if such an option exists.

I definitely have a lot of pilot error with software.  I engineered for many years on an analogue console.  I am amazed at what you can do with this software.  I will take you advice and check out the docs, and google search.  It's great to know that the forums are there too.
