I have the most important features in “Cubase 15.”
For example, I can create as many “plug-in collections” as I want. For example, a collection containing only “SSL” plugins; all others are then hidden to keep things organized. I can then sort these by category: compressors, EQ, delay, reverb, and so on. Or I can create a synth collection with the synths I use most often. There, I’m also shown specific details: synth, drums, orchestra, and so on. Or I could create an orchestral collection with all the plugins needed for this genre—synths, Kontakt banks, compressors, EQ, and so on. It would also show whether it’s VST3, which version, and whether it supports internal 64-bit processing. Then I could create favorites and so on. I think a DAW these days should offer such features, or similar ones.

 

the trick with organizing work processes is to start with it from the beginning.

once everything is cluttered, you never never sort it.

 

user error. that applies only to people who install 3000 plug-ins without knowing what is what.

 

Something like a "VST Plugin Manager" has been on my wish list forever.

Over at KVRAUDIO they used to have access to dump / download their entire database, sorted be Developer name or Product name.
- I cannot find that now -_-
They also have a preset pick-list of Product Type eg. Synth VA, Synth PD, Effect... to search/sort by.

How is the development for this coming along?
What sort of database is it based on (SQLite, MYSQL ... ) ?
