Aug 14, 2009  Best Answer: Its easy.download the best vst synth or effect you like.(extract it)then move it to the vst plugins folder.In your programs folder[disc C.ect.] And when you go to use a soft synth open the synth you wish to use. If you need more details how to i can help.

I run Sony Acid Pro 7 (as 32 bit) on Windows 7 64bit. I have IK Multimedia's Amplitube series of VST plugins. I can bring up Amplitube as a VST, or Soft Synth, and use them as standalone plugins, but it does not appear in the effects folder, when I add an audio track to my project. This is bugging me, as I want to record guitar using Amplitube on Acid Pro 7. Also, Sony Acid Pro 7 can not locate Ethno 2 as a plugin! I've tried scanning all VST and other folders. Can anyone help me out please?

Other than that, I love Sony Acid Pro 7! Posts: 514 Joined: Sat Jul 14, 2007 1:32 am. » Wed May 06, 2009 3:30 am Hey thanks for your reply MD Amplitube is just a normal VST plugin. It's a virtual set of guitar amps and more. I can use it as standalone.

It also appears in my VST/soft synth folder. However, If I have an audio track and I want to play my guitar through Amplitube then I need to bring it up as an effect, which one usually does by clicking on the little green effects icon in the track view. Problem is Amplitube is not in the effects folder (where effects like Sony Express Reverb, Sony Compression etc are). So I can't play my guitar through it, like an effect. There's no point bringing Amplitube up as a soft synth in a midi track, as I can't use my guitar this way. It has to be an audio track!

Lacobus, you're right in saying it can be used as a soft synth and a VST effects plugin. But it does not appear in the effetcs plugin list on the track view. Is there a way of playing my guitar through it without using it as an effects plugin?

I found this fix from someone and it worked! Launch your DAW by right clicking its icon and select 'Run as administrator'. Free pci sound card driver download. Rescan your VST folder for new plugins. Amplitube gets loaded and the above mentioned file is created.

You should be able to use the VST. Quit your DAW. Go to c: Windows with file explorer. Find the file 'msocreg32.dat', right click it and select properties from the context menu. Go to the security tab 7.

Click 'Edit'. A UAC box will appear to ask you for permission and allow it. Select the 'Users' group. Set a checkmark next to 'Modify' in the lower list. Click twice on 'OK' to close both dialogs. Launch your DAW as you normally would. Posts: 538 Joined: Fri Apr 06, 2007 5:06 pm.
