    Hi,
    again, new fun stuff to fix. I don't know why I'm getting this "plugin missing", when the plugin is properly installed and working (checked on cantabile). VST2 and VST3, both x64.

    Installation

    Windows
    Requirements:
    - 64 bit sequencer software (VST 2.4, VST3 or AAX compatible)
    - Windows 7 or newer

    Installation:
    - Download the file install_TAL-J-8.zip and unzip it.
    - You can copy the plug-ins manually to your hosts VST directory or the VST3
    version into the VST3 directory. The zip file contains all plug-ins. Our plug-ins do not require the installer.

    VST3 Directory:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
    AAX Directory:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins
    -
    Uninstall:
    Just delete the plug-in file to uninstall it.

    In hosts like Cubase, the plug-in may require a computer restart to appear in
    the host. Some hosts may also need a plug-in rescan.

    If you use Ableton Live and the plug-in does not show up after a VST plug-in
    rescan, try to disable and re-enable VST plug-in support

    It's probably seeking for particular version of the plugin, I had few cases like this.

    Yeah, but it doesn't happen a lot, probably developers changing ID or something with newer version of plugin. I have projects from Bitwig 1+ made on Windows that open perfectly in Bitwig 5 on macOS.

    Yeah... I'm just hoping it won't happen again. I've spent a whole month moving all my station from a desktop pc to a laptop. After doing it all with the first laptop, I discovered the sound of it was crap. Then, I had to move to another one, Which had an acceptable sound on my monitor headphones. So after all the work, I'm exhausted. Just cross my fingers to stay fine.

    Thanks to you both!
