VSTs won't load in Fairlight

PostSun Jan 16, 2022 8:49 pm

Hi all, I'm very new to Resolve. I have the latest version 17.4 (I checked for updates, it said there were none).

When I try to add certain VSTs to an audio track in Fairlight, some of them simply don't load (nothing happens). A few DO load but for example RX 8 (iZotope) does not, which is pretty important to my workflow.

Is there a log file or some other way I can diagnose this issue? All my VSTs are found by Resolve and are located in folders and subfolders at `C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\`.

Are the VST2.4 versions exhibiting the same issue or VST3 format only?

Do the Fairlight AFX plugins load correctly?

Are the plugins instantiated as Clip Effects or Track inserts?

Hey, thanks for the response.

I don't normally keep VST2 versions installed on my PC (my DAW is Cubase, so VST3 works fine) but I installed Fabfilter Pro-C's VST2 variant and that loads fine. So it seems to be something about VST3.

Fairlight's built-in plugins load fine.

I'm instantiating the plugins as track inserts.
