Tips Tricks And Workflow Goodness

Need more overview in your PlugIns? Here is what I found out about:

Cubase PlugIn sorting

I don’t know why Steinberg makes such a magic about PlugIn-sorting (Maybe they want to create reasons to sell it in Cubase 8?). It is easy to manage yet in Cubase 7 /7.5! So this one goes for VST2 Plugins…

  1. Create in your VstPlugins Directory Subdirectories like:
    \Reverb
    \Distortion
    \Filter

  2. Any VST2 PlugIn you install directly in those subdirectories will be sorted correctly!

That means:

Install for example “Audio Damage Kombinat” into the directory C:\Program Files\Vstplugins\Distortion
and it will be correctly sortet near by the Steinberg Distortion Plugins!

If you create a further subdirectory like …\Vstplugins\Distortion\AudioDamage you have all Distortion Plugins from Audio Damage in one folder, right under the Distortion Group

Nice? :wink:
