I have my Windows machine running, now I'm working on figuring out what I need to do to use my Waves and UAD plugins. Does a Windows Paris system need a VST Wrapper to run these plugins? I have no idea where to find or how to install the stuff, having been a Mac guy for the last 20 years or so. Help!!

Thanks,

Gantt

Hi Gantt,

There is a "double wrapper" procedure needed to use the UAD plugins. I'm not sure about the waves stuff.

This is what I do:

1) Turn off direct x in the PARIS config menu. Restart PARIS.
2) decompress the utility in the attached zip file (vdx33b2.zip). Run it and add your UAD VST plugin folder to the list in the interface and click OK. This will wrap your VST UAD plugins as DX plugins.
3) Download FFX4 here: http://www.kvraudio.com/product/ffx-4-by-vb-audio
4) FFX 4 takes DX plugins and presents them to a VST host as VST plugins. Point the PARIS VST path at the FFX 4 VST file, but not the UAD VST files.
5) Restart PARIS, and open FFX4 from the native inserts menu. Your UAD plugins will be there and they will work.

I hope this helps!

Mike

Hi Gantt,

I'm not sure about the waves plgins. I don't have any. If they are VST, you might be able to put them in the same folder as the FFX4 VST plugin and just use them. If that doesn't work, I'd try the double wrapping.

Hope this helps!

Mike
