I tried the Classic Eq and the Compressor. They display, but but EQ resets to flat on the setting window's close, and the Compressor's knobs go to the default(?) hard left. Therefore, I'd expect nothing to happen with the EQ, and indeed that's true... I didn't try the hard left settings on the compressor, I could only imagine it would sound bad. WavePad Tech department also note: VST effects come with presets, which aren't visible in WavePad's setting window. Getting closer though.... Leighm

Your seeing the same thing I'm seeing Jerry. Thanks for the check. Leigh

Hi Jerry, I do see the dll folder setup and it is pointed to where the effects are located. I didn't try the effects till the trial ran out so I can't offer any insight as to whether the situation with the blockout panel pre-existed. It's the same with all of the effects. A blockout panel over the controls and the OK/Cancel buttons are inactive... But not the 'X' on the toolbar. I'm also wondering whether the folder location might be part of the problem despite the ability to point the software towards the folder. I tried putting the dlls loose in the WavePad folder, and also tried putting them in the NCH Swift Sound/Components folder. No luck. The effects are a full rack of VST Classic effects (free) from: www.kjaerhusaudio.com/classic-series.php They are very easy to use, look and handle just like standard audio effects. Their premium stuff is beautiful and VERY expensive, I guess that's the price that one pays for 0 latency time thru the effect. But the VST Standard series is free for the taking. Leigh

I filled out the software survey... straightforward. Here's my "straightforward": I like the product, but unless I can get a simple answer from someone at NCH in regard to why the VST effects have a blockout panel over them, I'd either have to assume it's a non-functional item, or requires registration. Considering there is no unpaid customer support, and I am willing to pay for the product, if it works as advertised I'd advise a response, or you lose a potential customer. Barring a reponse, I'd HAVE TO assume non-functionality, and not purchase it.

The different folder, Wavepad seems to fuss sometimes, also if the filename is the same as the WAV it's being saved from, it could be problematic.
