Free plugins from soundtoys

@Jfingers if the plugin isn't showing up in the fx list then you need to make sure Reaper can find it.its probably been save in a new folder that Reaper isn't looking for

Options -> Preferences -> plugins -> VST

click on edit path list then add path and find the relevant folder

then rescan or just close resort and open it again

I always make sure I install all my plugins into the same folder as often every company has a different default pathway and it gets really confusing 

If you've done all that and it's still not working then hopefully someone else that uses the plugins can help

That's interesting advice and helpful thank you. I'm a newbie, not to software but to Reaper and plug ins. The decent freebies ended up in the soundtoys folder and a vst subfolder, the always free one that just works lives in a subfolder of Steinberg which is also new today.

I've never worked in an office but am fairly conversant with computers, this has been a shit experience as the freebies are right up my street.

I've been using reaper for at least 7 or 8 years. Issues with pathways happen all the time, and I expect it happens in other DAWs too

A while back I upgraded my SSD drums from free to paid and the VST has completely disappeared from the list even when I rescaned. It's not an issue as I have a drums template that I use instead and it exists there, but it perfectly illustrates some of the quirks that you have to negotiate, even if you know your way around a computer

Have you checked the activations in ilok, not 100% how it works, but there seems to be an option to activate licences globally in ilok and then locally on your pc. May be worth checking.

Also, I could never get on with reaper.  Best thing I ever did was moving to cubase. Lifes better.

I'd appreciate some advice at some point about my issue above. Thanks to anyone that's read it and has some idea how to help. After xmas is fine.

It sounds like it's not been activated in iLok. Have you checked the licences are showing in there?

Check your I-Lock file, you probably need to authorise Echo Boy jr.

Little Plate for free today

Rats, I missed the Little Plate. 

It's another saturation plugin now, which I'll grab of course, but fancied a plate!

Not that this helps but I had a play with it yesterday and it's rather nice. Hope you manage to get it somehow.

Hahaha, thanks!    

I've got the UAD plate plugin when they were giving that away, and that's plenty useful for my needs really, I'll try to cope without this one.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed these soundtoys freebies, so much so I also bought decapitator!

I’d upgrade the lot to the full bundle were I not concerned that version 6 may be around the corner
