You’ve seen it before. That painful scanning procedure on startup that makes many DAWs seemingly take\u00a0forever\u00a0to let you start\u00a0actually\u00a0making music with them. Is it a necessary evil? I mean without it you wouldn’t have all your plugins available to you.<\/p>\n

Or would you?<\/p>\n

SONAR X1 has a very\u00a0sophisticated\u00a0and clever mechanism that only scans your plugin folders for changes – and it does this with incredible speed. In fact, it’s almost imperceptible. With “Scan VST Plug-ins On Startup” checked in SONAR’s preferences you get the best of both worlds; newly installed plugins ready and\u00a0available\u00a0and yet a blazingly fast startup time without\u00a0the\u00a0painful\u00a0wait of other DAWs. Who wants to wait for an\u00a0excruciating\u00a0VST plugin scan when all you want to do is rock?<\/p>\n

Here’s how to do it:<\/p>\n

Under “VST Scan Options” in SONAR X1’s Preferences (HINT: Hit “P” on your\u00a0qwerty\u00a0keyboard for a shortcut)<\/p>\n

1) Check “Scan for VST Plug-ins On Startup”<\/p>\n

2) Leave “Re-scan Failed Plug-ins” unchecked<\/p>\n

3) Leave “Re-scan Existing Plug-ins unchecked<\/p>\n

It should look something like this:<\/p>\n

If you set things up this way you won’t ever have to worry about a newly installed VST plugin or ProChannel<\/a> module not showing up and being\u00a0available to you. It will all happen automatically.<\/p>\n

But you also won’t have to worry about the painfully antiquated full scan procedure so many DAWs (and their users) suffer from when booting up the program to make music.<\/p>\n

If you\u00a0aren’t yet a SONAR user and would like to start making music when inspiration strikes, check out the SONAR X1 line of professional\u00a0music\u00a0software<\/a> and see what you’ve been missing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
