Hi Peter, It was initially installed in c: program files cakewalk vstplugins. I wish I could be a musician again rather than a computer technician! Ironically, since I've moved to the DAW world my creativity level has gone down as quickly as the current economic meltdown. This will hopefully knock the problem on the head once and for all. If I don't get an answer I'm going to rebuild my computer from scratch in a dual boot configuration. I've sent this problem off to tech support.

This is when the plugin became unavailable. One thing I did (which maybe I shouldn't have) is uninstall my antivirus (Trend Micro).

The result of all this is that the plugin is still in the unavailable folder and I can't get it to do anything. In my case, I've uninstalled Acid, uninstalled the plugin, ran RegistryMechanic (PCTools), reinstalled everything with a restart between every stage. I received confirmation from MusicLab that their RealGuitar plugin works fine within Acid Pro 7a. Any light shed on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Note that the VST is fully functional when loaded into another host such as Sonar. What is the criteria that determines whether a VST is Failed, Ignored or Unavailable? Who typically is responsible for fixing these types of VST loading problems (Sony or MusicLab)? I re-scanned the VST folder from within Acid but the plugin is still unavailable. Now the VST is loaded into the 'Unavailable' folder and nothing can be done with it. To try and solve this problem, I reinstalled the VST and then uninstalled and reinstalled Acid. Cubase - Yamaha n12 - Ableton Live Suite - Reason - Sony Acid Pro - Adobe.Īlthough the VST worked, there was some missing functionality in comparison with the standalone version of the plugin. Intel E5-2687W 8-core Xeon, 32Gb RAM, Windows 7 Pro 圆4, RME. AutoTune is an additional plugin, sold by Antares, and it is not that cheap. I have IK Multimedia s Amplitube series of VST plugins. I run Sony Acid Pro 7 (as 32 bit) on Windows 7 64bit. Thereafter it loaded ok each time I started Acid. I've been trying to get the RealGuitar VST to work (In the Plug-In Manager it was inserted in the 'Failed' folder.
