Plugins

Scan/Discover

The Scan for Plugins button initiates a new scan for any new plugins you may have installed along the paths listed in the VST path box. A pop up dialog window shows the progress of the scan operation.

Scan Timeout

If a plugin exceeds this time when scanning, this might indicate a bug in the plugin. In this case the scan will be aborted and the plugin will be put on the “blacklist”. Plugins sometimes take a long time to scan, because they are checking online for licensing information or updates. Adjust this value to accommodate your plugin’s needs.

General

Scan for [new] Plugins on Application Start

New plugins are searched, tested and added to the cache index on application start. When disabled new plugins will only be available after triggering a ‘Scan’ manually.

Always Display Plugin Scan Progress

When enabled, Mixbus will display a dialog window showing each plugin being scanned. This is ON by default.

Verbose Plugin Scan

Open Plugin Manager Window When Missing Plugins Are Found

Make new plugins active

By default, Mixbus will immediately enable a plugin when it is added. If you disable this option, then newly-added plugins will be “disabled” by default.

Set Up Sidechain Ports When Loading Plugin With AUX Inputs

LV1/LV2

This option, when enabled, will conceal LADSPA (LV1) plugins if a corresponding LV2 plugin is installed. This can ensure you are always using a more up to date plugin.

Instrument

Ask to replace existing instrument plugin

When an instrument is added to a track that already has an instrument, Mixbus will prompt you to replace the existing instrument. This is ON by default.

Interactively configure instrument plugins on insert

When a plugin with multi-outputs is added to a track, this option will cause Mixbus to prompt the user for the desired channel configuration: mono, stereo, or multichannel.

Statistics

The selectors allow setting of the maximum lengths of the plugin usage-count chart and the recently used chart.

The reset button resets the plugin usage statistics.
