Problem loading Saturation Knob [Fixed]

I am getting the following.... VST plug-n failed to load c:\program files\cakewalk\shared utilities\Internal\softube\Backup\01272012\saturation_knob1.3.5.0\saturation knob.dll

Yes I did...

Will do!

Woaaaa....The bigger problem is that the VST it is trying to find is in the backup directory. Rename that VST extension to dll.backup and then rescan and it won't try to load that. It will say it is not found and then you can reinstantiate the plug in your project and it will find it in the correct directory and NOT the backup directory.

I had this very same issue while beta testing some fixes Softube gave me for the Saturation Knob and this is what I had to do. Softube told me that this was an issue with the Cakewalk installer and they were supposedly going to talk to Cakewalk about this.

Renaming, as you suggested, or removing should do the trick.

The backup folder in the Softube folder is redundant at this point, unlike the backup folder in the SONAR directory. The difference is that to install X1d over a Quickfix, you need the previous .exe file to install on top of. If you delete your backup of that, you're out of luck.

To install the updated Saturation Knob.dll, on the other hand, you do not need the previous .dll nor do you need to revert to it. The X1d installer will blast in a new .dll in regardless. If you really want to keep it around, you can definitely do as you suggest though.

In David's case, it sounds like he removed the Backup but hasn't done a re-scan so the VST scanner cannot locate the missing component. That's my first guess at least.

Thanks Ryan....it is working

Thanks again Ryan and Noel...everything is working great!! Loving it!
