OMPT is the only tracker I use. Audacity is the audio editor I use the most. LMMS is the DAW i use the most. Inkscape is the vector graphics software I used the most. All this despite using a Windows. Just goes to show that sometimes, FOSS is all you need. Though I'm still hesitant to switch to Linux so I'll prolly use it alongside Windows.

The premise of the video appears to be that, in particular, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere have intuitive easy-to-use interfaces. It compares them only to mainly a single open source alternative respectively. It does not even mention other open source alternatives (of which there are plenty), and also completely ignores other closed source alternatives with different user interface approaches.

IMHO the premise is already wrong, which makes discussing anything else rather pointless.
I do not know whether it is actually paid advertising (feels too badly made for that), but it is certainly heavily biased towards Adobe.

Maybe you should watch the video again and pay attention to which software gets the most plugs, then you will understand the motivation behind the video (or more to the point the money behind it)

Nothing is what it seems on the internet, its just seen as one big advertising opportunity

Don't you just love youtube 'experts'

dont you just love people who flippantly disregard a valid opinion to denigrate the source? otherwise known as the ad-hominem fallacy. Try addressing the content instead of denigrating where it came from.

because they are run by coders and dont have a balancing QUALIFIED design team (not your half assed approximation that you think is good enough).

Unfortunately the only way to know what's inside a shell plugin is by loading it. OpenMPT only does a bare minimum of work when scanning plugins, so I would assume that just the process of loading the plugin file itself is already taking a considerable amount of time.

I would suggest as a first step to try to load the same plugins into a host again where you are confident they should work. I was unable to get them to work either when I simply downloaded the older versions and I think that might be because I did not actually have a license associated with those plugins, so they simply failed to load.
If that works, you could try going back to older test versions at https://builds.openmpt.org/builds/ and check if you can find the latest version that still loads them.

I have not had the time to check further into this.  One issue is there are multiple Waves shells, and scanning all of them with a different version of OpenMPT is very time consuming.  I tried a few versions back, but was unable to get them to work.  I don't know if that me not scanning the correct Waves Shell, or some other issue. 

Do you know of any way to view inside the Wave Shell so I can isolate which Wave Shell I need to scan specifically ? I tried to check with Reaper and Cubase, but I could not find the root shell file.

And the bonus points go to...... Saga Musix (Don't spend them all at once!)

I was beginning to think it wasn't that recognisable after all.
