Feature Req: Some VST questions

fluor · August 05, 2009, 19:57:35

I was at a friend which use professional music software and I only miss a few things compared to

I wonder if the following could be possible:
1. Add a master VST chan so I can compress live
2. Is it possible to use more than one VST and link them? E.g. both reverb and echo on a chan?

No feature requests needed, as this all exists already.

For applying a plugin as "master", move it to some high plugin slot (something around 10 to 20 if you have only a few plugins for example) and click the "master" checkbox.

For chaining VST effects, you have to change the "output to" field on the general tab which is normally set to "default". If you have for example FX 07: Reverb and FX 08: Echo, you would go to FX 07 and set "output to" to "FX 08: Echo".

Indeed. For even more information, see this topic:

thanks. maybe i find the GUI a bit confusing here. I guess it would be really nice to have a cleaner look of VST like ACiD or similar.

What?? :shock:
Modplug has the cleanest and easiest GUI there is!

Certainly not. The VST stuff (and the general tab in general

) needs some revamp indeed.

I meant color wise. The other is mixture of colors that is hard to figure out what is what.

Well, I don't know what makes Acid so special because I don't know how it looks, but I certainly was not talking about a better colour scheme or anything.
