Ok so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction here. I recently installed x3 producer to take the place of x1 studio. Now the problem I am having is with my plug ins. X3 will scan and find all of my plug ins, however I can only see maybe 3 of them.
I am mainly concerned about my amps. I like to use LePou amps for my guitars alot and they just wont show up in the plug ins. Like I said, x3 scanned them but they arent visible to me. What is going on that some of my plug ins such as front bass, trilion, and such are there, but some arent. I am running 64 bit vst on a 64 bit installation on a 64 bit system.
Please help me out here. This is driving me nuts.

Do you see the .dll files in the folder where you installed them and is this folder included when Sonar does its scan? (you may have already checked this, but just in case....)

Yes, all my .dll files are in the path directory and sonar finds them when it scans, it just they arent visible in sonar x3 itself

look in the x3 vst options in the preference menu.
you can re scan failed plug ins, choose how plug ins are run, scanned, exc.

Yes I played around in the preferences some last night to no avail. None of the plug ins failed, they just arent visible. I am sure it is just a setting or something silly. Hopefully tonight I can get it figured out.

Not sure if this will help or not, but take a look and see at these VST Settings......

Thanks. I will check it out tonight and hopeefully get it all lined out.

Did you do a RESET and a full rescan?
 
Are they showing up in the 'Excluded' list?

I did clear and rescan multiple times. The always get scanned but dont show up in the ui. As far as the excluded list, Im not sure. Where do I access the excluded list?

Where and how are you looking? X3 is different from past versions. Not only does it support VST 3 but there are more than one list. One will be for VST 3 plugins and the other for 2.4 VST plugins. Be sure you are selecting the right list to view. To view them all use the browser.
