Why can’t my son load his Vocodex plug-ins on Vegas Pro 20?

Hello. My son has Vegas Pro 20. We recently re-installed to Windows 10. His Vocodex plug-ins are now not appearing after we downloaded and reinstalled them. Others load properly. Vocodex had worked before downgrade from 11. Lenovo IdeaPad. Meets specs.
Any guesses?

Is the folder they are in included in the VST directories in Vegas preferences?

this is the preferences VST Tab. Thanks!

Are the Vocodex in there? If so is it solved?

If they are 32 bit you may have to enable the 32 bit bridge.

You'll need to find which folder the Vocodex VST plugins are installed under either C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86). If they are in one of the folders listed in the VST preferences tab, then hit the Refresh button and see if that helps.

If the plugins are in another folder, then link to that folder by clicking on the Add Path button and drill down to that folder. Vegas Pro should then be able to link to the Vocodex VST plugins. Many 3rd party VST plugins get installed in either or both of the aforementioned C:\ directories under a subfolder named Steinberg/VstPlugins.

thank you both. I am back on it today. He is a young creator with autism so it's not a typical help request lol. The plug-ins are in the directory folders seen on the Snip.

Is it working now? The only plugins we can see in the screenshot are the ones that VEGAS comes with.

Im realizing that they need to be paid for. That may of course be the issue.

Wow. I am here for the same reason. My 9 year old autistic son needs the same issue resolved. Small world.

@joey19154-Rash Is Vocodex compatible with VEGAS? If it's a vocoder it probably isn't and you should use it with music making software.

You can then bring the result into VEGAS to make video with it. VEGAS works with VSTs that manipulate audio (fx) vs composing audio.

A quick search shows it working with FL Studio. Export a PCM wav from there and match it with video or pictures or animations in VEGAS.
