How to install AcidBox V2 VST3 on Linux
Please read this post : https://audioblast.me/how-to-install-acidbox-v2-vst3-for-linux/
I can’t resize the AcidBox in Cubase !
Latest version of Cubase have dropped the support for resizing in VST2, you have to use the VST3 version
Why GarageBand asking for a SERIAL ? i have already activated my plugin in a real serious DAW before !
GarageBand is sandboxing all the plugins, you have to re-enter the SERIAL (but just one more time)
I can’t see the patterns presets in GarageBand !
GarageBand is sandboxing all the plugins, and prevent them from reading useful informations like presets, fortunaly you can copy the patterns folder to make GarageBand happy: from /Users/$USERNAME/Documents/Audioblast/AcidBox/Patterns to /Users/$USERNAME/Library/Containers/GarageBand/Documents/Audioblast/AcidBox/Patterns
I can’t enter my SERIAL !!
=> in some DAW, “Command+keyboard” events are stealed / blocked, you have to use the mouse : right click (Option + click) and choose “Paste”, then press “Enter” or “Return” before changing to the next textfield.
Logic X can’t see my AcidBox AudioUnit !
You can rescan your AudioUnit plugins, go to menu Preferences -> Plug-in Manager -> Reset & Rescan Selection
If it still doesn’t work, you can restart your computer.
The installer can’t write the VST3/VST2 plugin !!
Be sure to close all your DAW and plugin hosts before running the installer
Can I change the “patterns/presets” folder ?
not for the factory presets, but you can store your custom presets anywhere
Can I import “.303” patterns from AcidBox V2 into the AcidBox V1 ?
You can! But of course, you’ll lose all
the new features introduced in V2 (fine tuning, pan, new distortion, etc..)
note for Maschine / Komplete Kontrol users : be sure to install the VST2 in the path pointed by Maschine
