I am not pulling anyone’s chain. I prefaced my opening post by saying that my question was probably going to come off stupid and looking like a joke. Again, I am not asking anyone to teach me HOW to use a plugin or DAW. I am trying to figure out how to RUN plugins in cubase le5. It’s a simple question and probably had a simple answer but it looks like I’m too dumb to figure it out. I keep reading about accessing plugins through the “VST Instruments” option in the “Devices” menu, but I do not have “VST Instruments” listed anywhere. Instead I just have “Plugin Information”, “VST Connections”, “VST Performance”, etc. I’m try to figure out if I’m missing a step somewhere or overlooking something. Any help is appreciated.
