Loading un-necessary VST's

Post by clavguy »

Hi...
While I was recently researching a problem with a VST, I was looking in the log file. I noticed un-necessary VSTs being loaded. For example, a long time ago I purchased Arturia V Collection 7. I recently bought V Collection 8. When I was looking in the log file I see all the Collection 7 and 8 VSTs are loaded together now. What's going to happen when I install the V Collection 9 that just bought on Black Friday. How do I make sure that the prior V Collections don't get loaded and any other VST's that I have upgraded over time and are not being "doubled up" withing Mixcraft?

Thanks
Pierre

I'm assuming loading version 8 was all new and did not overlay any of version 7? If so, you can remove the version 7 location from your file location. Look at the file locations in the vst load tab in Mixcraft and remove it also if it is there. :D

Hi,

You could go into Windows Settings, find Apps > Installed Apps, then uninstall the plugins you don't want anymore.
