    VST plug-in inabilities at present in 5.5

    Narr GM Coro Community Member

      I found some earlier conversation around May on this, indicating Adobe was talking to well-known VST developers. Also, I have some nice things to say about 5.5 which I just purchased, which I will post as more familiarity is developing.

       

      I'm trying to use Voxengo plug-ins, which are quite fine. Unfortunatelly, those which are surround-capable won't work in Audition 5.5 for stereo tracks or clips. They show on the menu only under 7.1, and are greyed there.

       

      I've talked with Alexey on his forums, knowing him from years ago where Voxengo in Audition 1.5 was very useful to me. From his point of view, and contrary to what was being mentioned in this forum in May, apparently there's a difficulty if he adjusts his code, so that the fix belongs on Adobe's side. Thus he's suggested a fix which he believes is simple.

       

      For myself, and as a long-term Adobe customer for suites etc., I just feel that along with a number of other points, it would be very sensible and fair for Adobe to provide a free update with this and other outstanding issues addressed, during the long period building up to Audition 6. I have one feature suggestion also, which should be a natural, and will post that separately as well as on the bug stream once found again. Thanks for listening..

       

      Here's Aleksey's reply on his forum, for a batch of Voxengo 3-level plug-ins that aren't allowed yet in 5.5, though they work fine in 1.5:

      Unfortunately, this can't be fixed from our side without breaking multichannel capability which is needed by many users (up to 15% of users need multichannel capability).  Newer Voxengo plug-ins have a global "no multichannel operation" switch which you can enable in some host that can load the plug-ins.  But this will completely disable the multi-channel capability.

       

      I hope Adobe staff fixes this incompatibility considering I've discussed a quite easy solution with them already.
