Reaper Wont Load My Vst Plugins

19.12.2020
  • 1) Ensure the plugin is installed on your system. 2) Ensure the iLok License Manager app is up-to-date on your system. 3) In some cases, you may need to hit 'Clear cache and re-scan VST paths for all plugins'. This will force Reaper to rescan all plugins.
  • To make a long story short, I noticed that about half of the Mercury bundle plugins weren’t showing up in VST3 format in REAPER. The same plugs would show up in VST and AU formats, which indicated that the plugins were in fact installed on the system. So I decided to clear the cache in the plugins preferences and rescan the plugins folder.
  • If it's a VST instrument try the VSTi category. Reaper should be seeing it and presenting it in in the right hand side of this window. Click on it to load the plugin onto the track. That's pretty much it.

Thread Rating:

I told Reaper where to find the other VSTs (under VST preferences) from Komplete 10 (FM8, Massive, Absynth etc.) and Reaper won't recognise them. I also tried putting them in the FX file in Reaper and still nothing when I re-scan or try find new plug ins. I'm running Reaper in 64 bit and all the Komplete plug ins are 64 bit. Adding VST Plugins To Reaper. Reaper makes it so simple! In 2017 many people are getting into the Audio Book Narration Profession. Canon pixma mp495 software download windows 7. The requirements concernin. For example, I downloaded some reverb plug-ins to a particular location (for example, C: program files x86 Ambient Reverb Plug-In Suite) When I follow the instructions in my Reaper window for adding/searching for VSTs or Plugins, I put the exact address into the search box, but Reaper cannot find or open the delays/verb stuff I want to use. When I open up the Komplete Kontrol VST on a track in Reaper I can browse on the keyboard (and see the VST window in my DAW respond) but no sound comes out, it doesn't show in the meters on Reaper that it is receiving a signal, and I can't use the transport controls in Reaper with my computer keyboard (example: I can activate the record or play buttons with my mouse, which stay highlighted.

Mixbus doesn't find a load of my plugins

Mixbus doesn't find a load of my plugins
I've built up a reasonable collection of plugins I like to use for various things. However, they don't come up in my plugin manager, even though the directory they are installed to is definitely included in my VST paths.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? Or is it simply Mixbus isn't compatible with a number of plugins? These aren't ones tied to another DAW.

RE: Mixbus doesn't find a load of my plugins
Hi there,
This has ben a common issue and there are several things you can try. I had hoped this was no longer happening in 5, but it's been happening to me in 3 and 4, but it's an easy fix. I assume the plugins are compatible. If you are using 64bit MIxbus only 64bit plugins will work, VST3 won't work (as far as I know) etc.
The first thing you can try is to flush your cache from mixbus. Go to EDIT -- PREFERENCES -- PLUGINS -- VST and hit clear cache and clear blacklist. Then try reloading. Try this a couple of times if it doesn't work with restarts.
If that does not work you can try opening/creating a session in a different bitrate and clear cache/reload plugins. This worked well for me in v3.

Have you done a scan for plugins ?

Reminds me of old American cars. Would run all right. But needs to be started each morning a couple of times. Or an old diesel tractor when working on a farm.
Goes to show, software is indeed modeling the physical world.

Well that explains it. I'm using 64 bit, but I believe the ones not showing up are 32 bit.
Makes me wonder why other DAWs can use both?

RE: Mixbus doesn't find a load of my plugins
Which MB do you use? Have you used these plugs in another daw and worked? Now MB is more friendly with plugs it threw on blacklist in earlier versions. Some new, though may be considered 'black' by MB.
Can you name some because if we have and works in ours it is not an MB problem.
You may ask Harrison for a 32 bit MB version then you will see what the problem is, if any.

RE: Mixbus doesn't find a load of my plugins
I'm using Mixbus 5 (not the 32c version).
The ones I've noticed I can't use are Sonitus reverb (bundled with Sonar, but not locked to it), the REplugs collection downloaded from the Cockos website and the Kjaerhaus classic series.
I'm using Mixbus v5 (not the 32c version).
The main ones which come to mind are the Sonitus Reverb (bundled with Sonar but not locked to it), the REplugs from Cockos and the Kjaerhaus Classic series.
These all work in 64 bit versions of Sonar/Cakewalk and Reaper.

Kjaerhus has 64 bit? I have sonitus pack but only 32 bit, works in MB32bit fine

No the Kjaerhaus ones are all 32 bit, which is probably why my Mixbus isn't finding them!

RE: Mixbus doesn't find a load of my plugins
I have used 32bit version of Mixbuses for years since 2.0 because did not want to lose my 32 bit plugs. No difference from 64 bit only in tall tales, not even bets can hear the difference in practice nothing you can detect. Just some months ago I changed for 64 bit MB just for fun and experiment, and lost 30 plugins but in the meantime collected the 64 bit versions of other makes to replace them. There are some I still miss. A great pro friend of mine still uses 32bit 32C. Sounds fine.
Send a mail to Harrison for 32 bit exe and you can go on with your goto plugs.
