A plugin's problem and a new function ask (solved)

Post by rjhgfklhjktrjh » Tue May 24, 2022 3:33 am

A plugin's problem and a new function ask

1.A plugin's problem:
I just bought and opened fuse audio's vrev-140 plugin in live11 lite, and I can normally open it in fl studio. but in live, it's gui has some problem:
I don't know how to put my image, the plugin's gui only displayed little, and I can't adjust some knobs, because it doesn't display.

I can't see the total plugin,and I don't know how to fix this.
I'm using windows11, and live11 lite version.
please make some research and improve live for better performance.

fuse audio's vrev-140 plugin website:
https://fuseaudiolabs.com/#/pages/product?id=301018772

2.A new function ask:
I have installed vst2 plugins like serum to many folders (vst2 installer must set a installation folder),
but live can only use 1 custom floder to search vst2 plugins,
I guess I maybe installed vst2 plugins to 5 or 6 different floders XD
I want to set many and many folders to search my vst2 and vst3 plugins :)

sorry for my poor english and inconvenience :)

Welcome and no worries for your English, it reads well enough :)

As for your point 2, i don't think this is an issue at all. Sometimes you just simply have to follow the way the program works and not the other way around ;)

All you need to do is setup a structure of one main folder and many sub-folders that you install your plugins into. For example, this is the way I have things setup for VST2 plugins:

Main Folder:
C:\Program Files\Audio\VST

Sub-folders (starting with the above VST in path):
VST\Effects
VST\Instruments
VST\Utilities

Then further sub-folders for manufacturers (with the vst2 .dlls inside them):

VST\Effects\Fabfilter
VST\Effects\NUGEN
VST\Effects\Tokyo Dawn
etc...

VST\Instruments\AAS
VST\Instruments\Arturia
etc..

Then in the Live Browser you will see all those folders (except the main VST folder) and all the sub-folders ... and then the plugins themselves. You can setup whatever substructure works for you, as long as there is one top folder.

So, simply reinstall your plugins and get into the habit for the future to install your plugins into one main folder, with many sub-folders. This is a good organization habit anyway, and I do the same hierarchy (but starting from a different root folder than VST) for the plugins' non-VST folders (for presets, etc) as well. That way you know exactly where all your plugins are on your computer.

It helps, I should change my plugin install habits and hope live can support more folders to search vst2、vst3、and samples,
but the first problem still exists, I can't use vrev-140,
other plugins is ok

Did you contact the plugin's dev to ask if there was any known issue with Live?

Oh, they replied :

Hi,

This is a known issue and it only occurs in VST3 in Live on Windows.

You can either reset the Plugin GUI size to 100% via FL Studio or install and use the VST2 version in Live which doesn't exhibit this behavior.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best,
Ray

the first problem solved :)
thanks for all of you :)
