I think steinberg dropped support for VST plug ins for that version of cubase.

False, Steinberg dropped support for DX Plug-Ins. Cubase's main Plug-In support is VST.

Have you tried looking for any updates for your Cubase software?

i tried but it wont let me install the very newest one, and iv tried reinstalling cubase and that didnt change a thing

Very strange, have a look on the steinberg forums, they might be able to help you out man

[scottST]

go to devices/plug in information, and press update - if that works, then the VSTs themselves are fine. it scans all the VSTs and checks that they're valid and all that.

also, check if you have moved your VST folder at all? silly question i know, but it might confuse the program enough to crash. Should be in a steinberg folder in Program Files (if you're on windows), or in Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plugins on mac.


another silly question is...you did actually buy the program, yeah? and it isnt a torrent/warez version? no offence meant, just trying to figure out why it keeps packing in.

You are absolutely correect, that man. My bad.

[Pint_paul]

so i tried scottST's advice of " go to devices/plug in information, and press update "

it has worked for the most part, (one or two still fucked)


it is a bought program but it was second hand off ebay.


i think i should be ok now. and if not i may just go back to using my old copy of cakewalk

cheers to everyone who had a suggestion

[Pint_paul]

now moved back onto cakewalk 6 with my new interface and no problems anywhere
