I installed the trial version. Compiled an example  "CV2_Controller" from Audition 3 SDK​. But the plugin is not work? Standard plug-ins "..\Adobe Audition CS6\Plug-Ins\VST3\" are also not displayed. I tried to set the path to the folder " Effects/Audio Plug In Manager", but it does not have an effect.

Windows7 32 bit

Adobe Audition CS6

version 5.0.2 build 7

Audition was completely rewritten for be cross platform compatible with Macs as well as PCs as Audition CS5.5. .cv2 plugins are therefore no longer compatible with any version later than Audition 3 which the SDK that you used was built for. So I'm afraid that it won't work.

In these later versions of Audition any controller plugin is kept in the ControlSurface folder within the Plug-Ins one in the Audition Program folder. All the new controller plugins are now in .acsrf format. So if you want to make your own controller software for CS6 you need to find a much newer SDK for Audition. Also controller plugins have nothing to do with any VST/VST3 plugins which are all for effects.

You won't see any of Audition's built in VST3 effects in the Plug In Manager since that is for managing third party plug-ins that you install separately. Usually they come as .dll files and are installed by default in somewhere like "C:/Program Files/Vstplugins".

Ok. Thanks!

I downloaded the latest version SDK 3.6.7 of the VST  plugins. I compiled the samples, rename output files form *.vst3  to * .dll and added the folder where the files are located in the Plugin Manager. None of them is displayed in the host application.

I'll also note, I downloaded and compiled SDK 2.4 of the VST plugins  and they work. I can assume that Audition in spite of the declared does not support the 3.x.x version?
