Harrison AVA Plugins updated to v2.0

[Ben@Harrison]

@DigiMix: on mac, Mixbus can choose between 4 potential locations/versions of the plugin:

Your system drive, VST and AU plugins:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components

Your user's folder, VST and AU plugins:
{Mac HD}/Users/{your user name}/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST
{Mac HD}/Users/{your user name}/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components

My guess is that you installed to the "user" folder sometime in the past, and that is now taking precedence over your system installation.

I suggest that you find all copies of the Harrison AVA plugins in those 4 folders, and then re-install the new package. You might only install VST or AU, if you know that you prefer one format over the other.

The features of 2.0 show up fine on Digital Performer, but I cannot get 2.0 installed on MixBus, though I have installed and reinstalled several times. I contacted MixBus support with no success so far. The AU component is not showing up in the plugins/components subfolder, while the VST component does show up in the components/VST subfolder. Still, the plugin does not show up in my plugins library when I double click on a track. The new features are terrific, and a great step forward for me, so please help me get them installed correctly. I have XT-ME, but the RTA and lightning features of the AVA plugins tops the XT for me. Thanks!

great update guys!!

I tested the legacy Q and it works very well.

I tested the mastering EQ and somehow it is still the old version (it sais build 20th of june 2018)

although i installed via the installer.... any idea what that could be?

the same here ... with LegacyQ. I guess it is because I moved the v.1 plugin file to my specific VST location after the v.1 installation. Now the v.2 installer didn't deinstall v.1 during the process.

Edit: the installer creates a Steinberg/VSTplugins folder. One may have to locate that folder and copy the new version to the specific plugin folder of one's DAW.

My install did not create a Steinberg/VSTplugins folder, just VST/AVA component. It does not show up in my plugins library. Maybe I need to manually create a Steinberg/VSTplugins folder?

Ben,
I found Harrison_AVA-ME.vst in the VST subfolder and AVA-ME.vst3 in the VST3 subfolder; moved them to a folder on the desktop, and reinstalled only VST using the link from the products page. After installation, I cleared the cache and blacklist and rescanned for plugins. No AVA-ME. Then I looked in both the system library and user library for the component with no success. is there another link to the installer?
Thanks!

As you have a lic it will work fully.

I now have AVA-DS, AVA-LegacyQ, AVA-MC, and AVA-ME in the system components folder, and it populates as well in the user system components folder; and have AVA-DS, AVA-LegacyQ, AVA-MC, and AVA-ME in the VST subfolder. All plugins except for AVA-ME are visible in the MixBus plugins library, after I have cleared the cache and blacklist, and rescanned for plugins.

Problem fixed! The AVA-ME was hidden in the MixBus library. This is one cool plugin!
