.dll file not showing in Live.. please help!

Post by mortgagejunglist » Sat Jul 21, 2007 10:44 am

(possibly a very silly question)

A mate modified a Reaktor dll so it has more functionality.

The .dll loads fine in Live on his laptop, but does not show up in Live's plugin browser on my machine. (we run version 6)

the .dll is in the correct plugins folder, and it can be seen in windows explorer.

When my Live boots up, it scans for plugins and you can see the dll's name flash up briefly as Live runs through the list of plugs.

But once Live is up and running, it cannot be seen in the live plugins browser.

My machine is running windows XP service pack 2...

(Might not be a Live problem at all - the .dll can be seen on other friends' machines that run Live)

it's a bit frustrating really... the modified reaktor .dll is a wicked tool, can't wait to play with it!

grateful for any advice, thanks in advance!

1) check another sub folder in ur plugins it may be showing up in there for some reason ive seen this on a mac however

2) put the dll inside a sub-folder. ive had an instance where a plugin wouldnt show until i did this.

good luck.

Can you please tell us something more about the modified reaktor.dll ?
Modified in which terms ? For what ?

thanks for the advice, it didn't work but I'll ask around more and see.

The reaktor dll is just one with 16 audio outputs instead of the usual number... it allows more flexibility for using reaktor in live, resampling to different audio channels at the same time.

Are you willing to share this very usefull hack ? I searched the net, but haven't found anything relevant.......

Sometimes ago i built an audio mixer in reaktor for using it in Audiomulch, and was very limited by it's amount of in's/out's.

would be great if you give me some information or point me in the direction of it. Thanks.
