I got Mixbus because it seemed like a good deal for 40 bucks, but when I scan for my vst's I keep getting--" WARNING : Cannot get VST information from etc. etc." (etc being my folder locations). I really need my ARC, but it doesn't see it. Anyone else had this problem? Thanks.

No problems here.
I made a separate 'harrisionx86' vst folder for just a few 32b plugins to use for mixing with it & that includes ARC2.
I leave out vsti synths & unimportant or  unneeded plugins because of those type issues.
 
 

Thanks Carl. I tried making a seperate folder as well, but it didn't work. I'll try again. It's almost like Mixbus is scanning all vst folders no matter which one I choose for the path, and is getting confused by the 64 bit plugs I have.

In terms of plugin scanning getting any messages about not getting the correct information is OK and the plugs still work fine. But the best thing to do is to create a separate folder and only copy the DLL's of the plugs you know will work and only need or want inside Mixbus into that folder. Just get it to scan in there only. You need to make sure the folder it is going to scan is correctly set. You need to got onto that dialog box that sets that. Erase the path that is there first then point to where your special Mixbus folder is and click on that. It will only scan in there. Good news, it erases previous scans and starts a fresh. Don't put any 64 bit plugs in your new folder either. You need to open all the plugs you put in there to make sure they do not crash Mixbus.
 
It will scan that folder much faster too. Try closing down and reopening after doing all that. After that when you go to insert a plugin, you will be presented with only the Harrison options and the plugs inside your folder only. You end up with a much tidier plug in menu.
 
It is best to prevent it from scanning your whole system. You will end up with a mess of plugs inside Mixbus and many it cannot open (virtual instruments for example) or it will crash with some plugs for various reasons. It also takes a long time to scan your whole system too.

THanks for your reply, Jeff. The problem is the plugs aren't loading at all and are not shown in the list of available plugs in the insert dialogue. It's strange that some like IKM CSR are loading ok, but IKM TRacks plugs are not and they are all in the same location. I'll keep pluging (pun intended) away! Thanks again. Milt.

Don't know what happened, but now the vst's are scanning and loading. BUT, now a lot of runtime errors with accompaning crashes. For instance if I insert a single TRacks module into a track and move one of the parameter buttons, runtime error/crash. If on the other hand I open the TRacks rack (shell) and insert the effect there, no problem to change parameters and settings. The biggest offender is ARC. I have to leave it absolutely alone when it is inserted in the master. Oh I do love learning curves!
