It’s just one of the many little idiosyncrasies in the world of DAW software due to the entire environment evolving over time and various manufacturers adopting the new standards and/or dropping old standards over widely differing time periods.Ĭonfusing at best - infuriating at worst, depending on how the rest of your day (or life) is going. And some installers don’t make that very obvious at all.
#CUBASE PLUG INS 64 BIT#
The multitude of different plugin versions can be very confusing until one gets used to the fact that there are up to 4 different VST versions: VST2 and VST 3 each for 32bit and 64 bit versions. Note: Cubase 9 is not compatible with 32-bit plug-ins anymore. This article describes this procedure for both Mac and Window systems. In order to use your NI plug-ins in Cubase, you must ensure that Cubase scans the folders where your NI VST plug-ins are located. Maybe you inadvertently chose that folder when originally installing Kontakt, since you assumed there was a VST3 version of Kontakt available? In Cubase, the Native Instruments software is used via the VST plug-in interface. I think c:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\ should only be used for VST3 plugins so everything else in there may get ignored. Now the Plug-in Sentinel scans all plug-ins and will put all problematic plug-ins back on the blacklist.Kontakt doesn’t have a VST3 plugin - neither do most Native Instruments plugins (as of this writing). Click on the "Rescan all" button (twirling arrows).Click on the little cogwheel icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the window to open the "VST 2 Plug-in Settings".If you wish to move any plug-ins that you chose to re-enable back to the blacklist, you need to force a rescan to run the Plug-in Sentinel.

You will easily recognize it, since re-enabled plug-ins show up in red.

You can re-enable blacklisted plug-ins at your own risk Please ask your plug-in vendor for more information.
#CUBASE PLUG INS UPDATE#
We also work closely together with plug-in developers, so if still supported, affected plug-ins might receive an update to fix that issue on OS X 10.11 and lower. With macOS 10.12 (Sierra), Apple fixed that problem from the OS side. For the user there’s usually no visible connection that those problems are being caused by a plug-in. The symptoms are random hangs, crashes and very often it causes crashes when you close Cubase. Using these plug-ins causes Cubase to behave erraticly on the mentioned OS X versions. There are quite a few dynamics processors available but the essential choice would have to be the standard compressor. In any Cubase session getting a grip on your dynamics is essential. The reason is that our developers found a problem in OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and previous versions which cause plug-ins compiled with an older Objective C Runtime version to become unstable. To break down the Cubase plug-ins a little, here is a quick list of my top five essential plug-ins to head for in your first session. On Mac computers, one might also observe that some plug-ins that end up on the blacklist appear to have worked perfectly fine in previous Cubase versions. Please note that all 32-bit plug-ins will also get blacklisted since Cubase 9 only supports 64-bit plug-ins.Īll this results in a much more stable experience while using Cubase 9. These problematic plug-ins will then end up on a blacklist.

The most notable improvement of the Plug-in Sentinel is that if a plug-in crashes during the initial scanning, Cubase won’t be affected and hence won’t crash too. With Cubase 9, we have introduced the Plug-in Sentinel which scans all VST plug-ins on start-up now.
#CUBASE PLUG INS INSTALL#
Cubase scans your plug-ins when you launch it the first time or if you install new ones.
