Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Dr. Cuts Vinyl Mastering VST
OSX doesn't seem to open the file... Any tips?
Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Dr. Cuts Vinyl Mastering VST
That's odd. Let me finish adding info to my website about this and project bladerunner. Then, I'll repost here.

Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Dr. Cuts Vinyl Mastering VST
Thanks but Live 8 and 9 aren't seeing it in OSX 10.6.8
I've tried both programs on two different machines.
I put it in the vst folder and tried dragging it too, the only thing it seems to want to open with is Cycling 74 Max. (but I only have Max for Live in Ableton and it won't open within that either).
Looks like a great plugin.
Cheers

Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Dr. Cuts Vinyl Mastering VST
Thank you.
Anyone using Reaper here? I can't see the plugin in this DAW.
It would be appreciated if someone could check twice. thx

Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Dr. Cuts Vinyl Mastering VST
I need more info. Mac is such a bitch. Need to know your OS, processor type, daw version and if you are running 32 bit ir 64 bit. As you can see from the screenshot I'm running it in Mac OSX in a 32 bit version of Ableton 8 on an Intel Macbook 13".

Awesome, thanks very much!
Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Dr. Cuts Vinyl Mastering VST
Thank you, Todd! I am running Nuendo on a Win8 platform, I'll post my findings, but in ANY case 2 thumbs and 2 toes up for this! Can't wait to give it a trial!!!

OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
Intel Core i7 quad
Ableton Live 8.4.2 and 9.1.4 (32 bit)

Thanks for all your hard work on this!

Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Dr. Cuts Vinyl Mastering VST
Can I confirm that you are placing the DrCuts.vst folder into the location that your software is scanning for plug-ins? Likely this will be Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST
For Ableton, you can access this in Preferences->File Folder screen. You have to make sure that the folder that is being scanned by your software is in fact the folder that you are unzipping DrCuts.vst into. You must unzip, you can't just copy the zip file. If you know this already, cool. I'm not trying to be patronizing. I just want to be sure we have covered all the bases first. Ableton additionally allows you to turn the scanning on and off. So, I'd also like to confirm that your software is enabled to scan for plug-ins.
If the unzipped DrCuts.vst folder is not in the correct location, move the vst to the correct folder, insure scanning is enabled, exit and restart your DAW. All software works like this. I should also note that you can't simply drag and drop this VST into your DAW. I don't know of any DAW that supports installing a VST in that fashion.
I'm going to update my Mac to Yosemite and compile this on the latest version of XCode. That will take some time but might help with some of the compatibility issues. I'm not exactly a mac XCode expert. And, this is not a simple build. When compiling I'm using Cocoa/Carbon Frameworks depending on which 32 or 64 bit and Quicktime for the visual interface. When compiling I'm selecting 10.5 compatibility and 32/64 Bit Universal Binary. I can alternately select just 32 Bit Universal Binary. I'll post that before I try updating my Mac to Yosemite.

Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Dr. Cuts Vinyl Mastering VST
Still no joy here for either 8 or 9. Cheers for the customer support.
Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Dr. Cuts Vinyl Mastering VST
Hi Todd! Tried plugin out on Nuendo 4 Win8, no joy, same as others; not being recognized by Nuendo. I am certain the folder is correct - it's in with some Slate plugins that do show up, and of couse vetted in PlugIn Info. This looks a wonderful plugin, particularly for the elliptical eq, which is pretty convoluted to setup in Nuendo! One thing was that in the .zip there was only one .dll, and this platform is 32 bit. Clue, perhaps? I'm with ya all the way!!!!

Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Dr. Cuts Vinyl Mastering VST
I tried to download a trial version of Nuendo. But, without one of their USB e-license sticks, I can't get it to run. So, I'm unable to test in Nuendo directly. However, I think I might have figured out why this is not working for some users. The name of the vst was to be Dr. Cuts. But, the extra period is problematic as it appeared in the windows dll file names. So, I've renamed the vst and the output files to not have the period after Dr in the name. I also made sure to remove spaces from the names as well.
I recompiled for all platforms and now have 2 zips for Windows now.
Windows 32 Bit DrCuts.dll Windows 64 Bit DrCuts_x64.dll

Re: Deep Grooves Mastering - Dr. Cuts Vinyl Mastering VST
And, here are two zips for mac. Compiled for OSX 10.5. I should note that it is very important to insure the name of the folder is correct that you are placing in your VST location. The name must be DrCuts.vst or DrCuts_x64.vst If any onther name appears after unzipping and moving to the appropriate VST location, then rename the folder appropriately. If there is a space in the name, then mac software won't recognize the plug-in.
I'm going to upgrade my mac to Yosemite, load the latest version of XCode, and recompile the dll. But, that will take some time. However, I can then target more recent versions of OSX and that should help with compatibility.
