    As many people will have, I have a number of plugins installed and, while well organised, it'd still be useful to curate some custom/favourites folders for easier and quicker navigation. I'm sure this is possible, just not sure how :dunno:

    Are we able to create custom folders within the Cubase right hand tree list and add in our favourites/custom plugins? By this, I mean, for example:

    COMPRESSORS
    Cakewalk CA-2A
    Empirical Labs Arouser
    Sonible SmartComp
    Waves CLA-2A
    IK TR5 Bus Compressor​
    EQs
    Insert list of EQs here​
    And so on, and so on....​

    Is it possible in Cubase 12? I believe I used to be able to do this when I dabbled with Studio One, back in version 4 I believe?!

    Yes it would be useful to know how to do it. If there is a solution, I'm a taker.

    obviously you can

    the youtube video provided up here is a starting point, but keep in mind that in Cubase you can bookmark/put in favourites pretty much everything, not only "1 plugin" but for example a whole chain for a certain channel (ie audio, group, VSTi, Sanple Track), or for certain presets. The media bay can handle everything you have: files, presets, plugins, channel settings and so on.

    Example: if you have a VSTi and you have a basic plugin chain that you know need pretty much always "save in favourite" the channel with the whole chain, not only the plugin. So when you wanna open that VSTi you will have already up the plugin you could need. Obviously you can save with plugins disabled in the insert and activate whenever

    But thats only an example

    Yes I have try with Plugin Manager and it's possible to create a new collection like folders with subfolder like EQ, Reverb, Compresser, etc...
    And when you drag and drop a plugin you don't move it. it stay in default location. (excuse my english !!! I am french)

    I already created such an organized VST managing folder in Cubase Pro 8.5

    So it must be still valid for the latest Cubase

    I haven't installed the latest one yet
