Just Upgraded from Nectar 2 to version 3 and it won't load.
Hello, I have been using Nectar 2 for years now so I decided to upgrade to the latest version. For some reason when I refresh the daw Nectar 3 is not showing up under my vst's. When I start Mixcraft I see nectar 3 name pop up along with the other several hundred vst's I have. When I go to select it on a track it is nowhere to be found. I have been adding vst's for years so I would say I am pretty knowledgeable when it comes to downloading them. I have no idea why this VST will not load in Mixcraft. Also, I have reaper as a back up and it loads in there with no problem. Is there and issue with Nectar 3 and MIxcraft 8 pro?? Someone please help. thanks

While I'm going to take you at your word that you installed Nectar correctly, nevertheless you gotta run through the checklist:
That said, I'm running Mixcraft 9 PS build 450 (although 452 is the most recent build and I suppose I should update at some point soon), so it's possible that if you're running an older version of Mixcraft, Nectar 3 may not be compatible for whatever reason.
While it's possible that one of these three checklist items might solve your problem, it's more likely that it's a different issue. You could, however, always uninstall Nectar from the Add or Change Programs window in Windows and then re-install, just to see if that miraculously fixes it. A bit of a long shot, but then again if turning a device off and on again can sometimes fix an issue then why can't uninstall/reinstall?
- Are you sure Nectar was installed into your usual VST folder?
- Are you sure the folder Nectar was installed to is listed in the VST Folder list in Mixcraft preferences?
- Is Nectar showing up as an "unable to load" plugin in the Manage Plugins... window in Mixcraft (File > Manage Plugins)?

Thank you for you response. Everything that you recommended I have done and still don't see it. I purchased the vocal bundle package that includes Melodyn and Vocal Synth. I have both of those as a option but for some reason Nectar 3 is still not there. I reached out to support maybe than can assist from here. I'm not sure what is going, but thanks.
