Sorry to be back on this issue again.  I've managed to resolved the other two problems, but I just can seem to find where AmpliTude is installed on my computer so I can either move it or add it to be scanned.

It is definitely on my computer.  When I hit "Start" AmpliTude is there and I can execute it.  It is registered as it no longer asked me to register it.  But I don't have it in MC 5 or Sonar yet.  When I right click for properties, I get this path:

c:/programdate/microsoft/windows/startmenu/programs/ikmedia/amplitude x gear    However, there are only 3 pdf manuals in that directory.

The target reads: media/AmpliTude X-Gear/AmpliTude X-Gear.exe

I have no idea where to find this?

Thanks.

Annette

C:\Program Files\IK Multimedia\AmpliTube X-GEAR

well, that's where the executable is, I can't seem to find the dll.

I added that directory, but still doesn't work.

I did a search of all my .dll files and I can't find anything that looks like it belongs to Amplitude.

annette - in my scan folders for MC5, I have the following:

c:program files\ik multimedia

I'm betting that's where it is.

Man, I'm either really dumb when it comes to this stuff or just missing something really obvious.  I changed the directory...still not picking it up.

I created a new "normal" project.  The message comes up that it's not installed.  I go to the "guitar" track.  Double click on "amplitude", but I get the same message.  The message takes me to CW site which simply says a plug in is not installed.  Am I missing something?

Thanks.

you need to tell cake where to find it..... use the plug in manager to locate it and then scan it one time....then it should be there and available for you to use.

Ok, finally found it.  I had to reset all my vst's in MC, then one by one take the folder list off and rescan until I found one that removed amplitube from my list.

c:\program files\vstplugins

notice, that is NOT the same folder as the cakewalk\vst plugins - it's a vst plugins folder under program files directly.

What is the name of the .dll file?  Add that directory didn't work.  I just have VSC.dll there.

What's the software that let's someone else have access to your computer?  Yep, getting really desperate here.

Thanks for your patience.
