From Bob in the other thread:

On Edit: alas, the internet (i.e. photobucket) is automatically converting the BMP to a JPEG.  Sorry.  You can convert it, or just ignore the whole thing until the fix comes out.  :-\

This may explain why the picture posted didn't work.

hmmm still no joy, got about about 8 different folders in there all with names like {141AC902-4363-6D72-5043-344B53437E31}

Rasure


hmmm still doing it even after a replace.

Same here - still doing it even with the new BMP replacing the other.

Excellent point StepD.  SONAR caches these things.   After updating the PC2A resources folder, you should check "Scan VST's at Startup" in the Preferences, close SONAR, then restart, to get things to refresh.

This fixed it for me.  Good catch StepD.

Yeah, I think the main thing is that you have to do a *full* rescan of plugins (i.e., rescan existing plugins) or it won't update it.

From what I gather given the recent blog post about scanning on startup that the VST scanner is behaving differently post X1d.

I'm wondering if this is the cause of some of the issues that seem to be recently showing up here about plug-ins not being found and indeed this particular issue.

The full scan certainly solved this issue and a couple I've come across since.  These were my recommendations after installing 'd'.

Sorry to bring this back again, but something still not right...

Insert an audio track have the QuadCurve EQ turned on make some EQ changes and the Amp mod below or above EQ turned on, then set the peak reduction to around 30 then right click on the PC and use "set modules as default for tracks"

Then insert a new audio track. Setting are not saved on EQ or AMP, even without AMP mod in the chain EQ settings are not saved. Also click in AMP mod and see it reset again. Even with concrete Limiter settings are not saved.

As StepD says that's expected. If you want the settings to be there as a default you need to load the preset and then save the whole project as a template.

The folders with GUID's in the name are created during scan time of prochannel modules. One of the extensions for prochannel vst's is the ability to cache "stand-in" art for the plugin. This allows SONAR to display a graphic for the module in the channel strip without actually loading the plugin, thereby saving memory.

This scheme allows us to set up a set of PC modules as a default for all tracks or buses, without incurring a memory or CPU hit. i.e. even if you have a hundreds of tracks with default modules ready for use, there is a very low cost. The is actually loaded only when you tweak a control or enable it by clicking the enable button.

The cached images are only updated when you do a full rescan or the scanner detects a change in the VST dll itself. In your case you changed a bitmap resource and not the vst dll so SoNAR had no way of knowing that something changed.

Is that the post of someone completely missing the point? (again)

As Jind mentioned in another post, Mike has an insatiable need to pop in to PC threads to point out badly designed the whole concept really is, in any way possible.  Despite the fact that few (any?) find Mike's *opinion* on PC relevant, when it's working so well (and efficiently) for so many.  
 
Mike really seems to be a fairly intelligent individual with a good level of audio engineering knowledge - he's shown that many times, as in the current M/S thread.  So to each his own, everyone's entitled to an opinion, and all that.  But geez, sometimes it's best to hang up the agenda and just move on.

There's only one serious subject in life and that's er... screensets no, er... motorbikes no, er... making videos no, er... the cakewalk forum no, er.... whatever my wife says.

Phew! I knew I'd remember eventually...

Keeping the wife happy, keeps me happy.


Amen brother, Amen!

StepD: nice ! as for you other's your a piece of Cake !
