VST 2.0 OBS Plugin for Compressor and Limiter Finally, we want to add our compressor at the end of our audio processing chain. The compressor may have the most noticeable audio effect (depending on how your EQ turned out). Insightdynamiks Home user Member since 2008 Sorry i'm new here, From what i'm reading it is possible to use any or at least vst/AU/RTAS with Virtual dj. How do you do it? I Imagine you can simply install vst plugins in standalone version if you're mixing straight out of the native computer sound card.

There are a few different way to use VST and AU plugins in Pro Tools 12. It’s even possible to use VST/AU plugins in Pro Tools First, the free version of Pro Tools 12.

Use

One of the things that separates Pro Tools from other DAWs is the proprietary AAX format that it uses for plugins.

Not all plugins are available in AAX, especially some really good free ones, so Pro Tools users have to find workarounds to get their favorite VST and AU plugins to work.

Luckily there are a few methods that can get the job done.

Unfortunately none are free, but they all have demos to try for free, and each offers a number of other features as well.

Not all of these options will work with Pro Tools First since one of the main limitations with the free version is you have to get all the plugins through Avid’s marketplace.

Pro Tools First does supports ReWire, though, and that’s a big plus because that means it can run other DAWs that support ReWire. It can use Ableton Live’s built-in instruments, for example, and if you ReWire with Reaper it can run VST plugins within Pro Tools. Bidule is another option that works with Pro Tools First.

Reaper is a good option to use VST plugins in Pro Tools because it has a 60-day free fully-functioning demo and it only costs $60 to purchase. Plus it’s a full DAW and not just a plugin like the other options.

  • Can someone explain to me how exactly this is supposed to work?
    I don’t really get it because first of all the ctrlr dll isn’t recognized in Cubase (5.5) but secondly I don’t really understand what kind of plugin this would be, because if it were a real VST instrument you wouldn’t be able to record the real instrument (because VSTis are inside of the sequencer) so is it kind of a Midi plugin?

    Yes it is a MIDI only plugin, there is no AUDIO processing in Ctrlr (there never was and never will be).

    The VST should be placed as a VSTi an Instrument, so that it has MIDI IN/OUT

    Yeah the DLL you mentioned should be found as a plugin in Cubase if it’s in the VST plugin path, if it’s not you might be missing something (sometimes you need to install the Visual Studio Redistributable package from Microsoft). Have you tried some other free host to verify if it’s a Cubase issue or if it’s a Ctrlr issue.

    If you wish to export and instance, you need to export it in the VST plugin, it’s simple the standalone version exports other standalone instances, the plugin version exports other plugin instances.

    Ctrlr will not appear as a MIDI plugin, this is the special type Cubase uses to identify MIDI-FX plugins i think (different framework then VST), Ctrlr is VST only on Windows. It’s AU/VST on OSX.

    More like http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555 (i’m using VS2010 to build Ctrlr)

    And yes it’s not a “MIDI” plugin, “MIDI” meaning MIDI-FX framework based (talk to Steinberg about how they call stuff, not my fault)

    Any free VST host, try Cocks or FLStudio demo or something like, anything that can host VST plugins should work.

    You don’t record audio from CTRLR you record audio from whatever synthesizer you are controlling, once again CTRLR does not process/generate any AUDIO data ever.

    Maybe it’s 64bit and you need to use the 64bit version of the plugin. Hard to say i didn’t use cubase for some years now, so i can’t really help.
