Here is a strange one:

Downloaded the x3 demo ( used Chrome. Win Exp 11 wasn't downloading the file correctly). Installed and fired it up. The fly out eq is really nice, but....

No vst 3 instruments/ effects are showing in the browser, and my registered copy of Melodyne editor is not available under region effects. Tried uninstall/ reinstall, run as Admin ( redundant, but what the hell..) and yet, no ARA or VST3.

Pretty weird, huh?

You may need to run the VST reset
The VST scan path in preferences should include "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3"
If running an older version of Melodyne, ARA requires Melodyne 2.

SNAP!

Good call, scook.

Solved the VST3 and the ARA issues. Everything seems in order, now.

Many thanks for that tidbit!
