Alternate VST/DX Folders

drmathprog wrote on 7/20/2007, 4:13 AM

I can't seem to find a way to point CDA to alternate VST/DX folders like I can SF9 or Vegas 7. Does CDA in fact have a hardwired default and no alternatives? If so, is this documented somewhere?

Apparently, CDA is no longer a supported product?

Whatever gave you the idea that DX plugins go into some common folder ? They each install into wherever their individual installer specifies.

CDA does not support VST. But surely you knew that.

Yes, it would be nice .....

Thanks for the info. I could find no mention of VST in the manual, but since the other Sony software products I license each use VST, I just assumed the manual tech. writer felt it went without saying. I believe that the last several versions of SF use VST. That seems to support my supposition that CDA is no longer in development.

It's development always seems to have been as an afterthought.

Hopefully one day they will address the VST thing, ASIO (not significant but for consistency why not), and the problem of plugin loading (all plugins on events and master are effectively running the whole time, which can make realtime preview dodgy).

They have stated that the SF9 Ozone access thang will migrate to other apps as they are updated. Hope it happens soon to CDA . cos that's where I mainly want to use it !

This really is a "moderator/Sony rep-free zone", isn't it?
