Analogue Modelling Suite - Where is it?

Phil_P wrote on 9/21/2024, 9:26 AM

Hi,

I already have a ton of VST3 plugins tbh but I thought this may be interesting. After installing I cannot find it anywhere.

Please tell me what I missed.

It doesn't show up in any of my other DAW hosts either.

Thank you.

What is the 'analogue modelling suite' and which company does it come from?

EDIT: It looks like it is a MAGIX product. I've no idea about other DAWs, but in Vegas Pro go to Options/Preferences/VST Effects and add a path to its location in Program Files or Program Files (x86) - it could be under any number of folders.

It is purchased as part of the Vegas (22) Suite.

I added an edit re drilling down to its folder location in Options/Preferences/ VST Effects. Vegas Pro only loads native audio VSTs on installation - any other VST2s or VST3s need to be selected via the VST Effects tab.

@Phil_P I don't have that suite myself but the sales page says it includes 4 specific fx that appear to be based on impuse-models. I don't know if the 4 included fx show up in their own category after installation when you edit the audio fx-chain and browse available fx. So you may have to search for them by name in All. If they're all fx from Vegas, I'd expect them to show up in that category too unless they're licensed 3d party.

Hi guys,

I should have pointed out that I am (sorry for saying this) somewhat of an expert in VST etc. I work for Steinberg (who invented the technology).

My work involves QA and tutorials on all of their software etc. and related tools. (I am not trying to be clever here, but figure by mentioning this it may save some speculation).

I had already checked all in Vegas itself and I had already checked all the VST3 file locations and also loaded up Cubase and Nuendo etc. (using the show new plugins option in the plugin manager) to see if it would give me a clue as to where these Analogue Modelling Suite plugins exist. They don't seem to exist anywhere.

Also, with the manual that comes with them, there is no mention of where to find the plugins, although it seems top presume that they will exist in the normal places.

Of course there may be something I have missed here. But for example, I did immediately find and organise the other new (VST) plugins that came with Suite.

I'll keep at it and let you know.

As mentioned earlier, this is not a huge thing for me, I already have hundreds very pro end plugins from UAD, Waves PIA, etc. in fact only installed these as there were included as part of the suite.

Cheers for now.

Phil. :-)

And with that, I have solved it... lol.

They are not VST3 plugins. They are VST2 only. (This is very out of date tbh, I did suspect this earlier but thought "no... it can't be that this is 2024"). :-)

I don't use VST now, (as you are probably aware), Steinberg are phasing it out. After a quick uninstall and reinstall I find the plugins in the VST2 location:

C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins\MAGIX\Analogue Modelling Suite Plus

Just in case it is of any use to anyone in future.

Cheers guys.

I'm not surprised that these are VST2 plugins... Vegas doesn't support VST3 effectively. I have a large collection of Izotope plugins and even basic plugins like Neutron 4 or Ozone 10 in VST3 versions (there are no others) hang the rendering mode of Vegas 20, 21, 22... I don't know if it's really such a big challenge for developers to properly integrate VST3 with Vegas... Generally, after years of working in Vegas, we had to switch to competitor products and use them to provide sound for film productions, and I do it professionally. For years, Vegas' audio capabilities have distinguished it from other video editors, which has attracted professional users (the studio I work in was based on many Vegas instances, we deal with professional sound adaptations, dubbing and all kinds of localization in several national markets), now I see that Vegas is "pro" only in name, because you can't replace an effective and modern workflow with bells and whistles...
