I want to underscore with Everett there have been fixes to some of the plug-ins in the Engineering and Boutique FX Suites. I believe it was common for upgraders from X3 Producer to skip installing these packages because they did not change. Since they are not installed C3 has no way to indicate these packages have been upgraded. Install these packages to get the bug fixes.

Thanks scook, this is indeed important to point out. I think this is what fixes the elusive "plug-ins pop and kill audio sometimes" bug.

Do you know what's been updated?

I guess we can do a manual install of just some plugins - rather than use Command Center. (?)

Several plug-ins in the Engineering and Boutique FX Suites have bug fixes. Each suite has an installer. You can download the installers directly from your account and run them by hand if you wish.

Thank You scook!
 
I did not re-install these when I upgraded from X3 to sPlat, in fact, I hid them in C3. It sounds like I can DL them from my account and install.
 
Thanks again as I would have never known I had to do that.

These plugins all installed to
"C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins" and there is no option to change that.
 
This is what we're trying to get away from. I just let the two installers do their thing - and copied everything to the right place.

If however, people don't use CCC for updates then just make sure to read the monthly eZine page 4 (this month) which specifically states that there are updates for a couple of the plugin groups. The eZine is an invaluable resource to help keep track of what has been released and when. Go here for all the latest and continuing list of updates. Note that there are links to the various release ezines as you progress to the bottom of the page.

Except for Boost11 (which is installed by the main Sonar installer), all other plugins are installed to the folders you set in the options for CCC (click on the cog button for the options).

The following VST DLLs have file dates from May 2015, so those should have been updated: Channel Tools, Percussion Strip, Vocal Strip, Tube Leveler, Transient Shaper.

Even for packages you have not installed by CCC, you can see the version number in CCC to find out if there was an update or not. But you must know the initial version numbers (which were 1.0.0.7 for all Cakewalk VST packages).

All the installers contain the version number in their respective file names. I archive all the files and when I view them it's easy to see what's the most recent etc. in conjunction with the monthly eZine.
