Ozone is worth checking out. Very nice.




Once again getting confused. Someone said "I use it with Reaper". Okay, the WITH part is what throws me. Is Ozone not a standalone program? Is this one of those "drop to another software program" situations like moving a song from RB to Sonar?

I have never used "plug-ins" with RB. With Sonar I know I can add soft synths by clicking on a button and loading it, but the part that is confusing me is loading an executable program as a plug-in into another executable program. I know about loading my B3 or my Prophet soft synth into Sonar.

How do I do that in RB? And more importantly, why? Can I generate a track to play B3 on my plugged in soft synth rather than a Real Track?

Well, Ozone is a program that is a suite of integrated mastering utilities, and it runs as a plugin under another program. It is not a stand-alone program. It can run as a Direct X plugin, or a VST plugin.

I get an error 127 when I try to load either Ozone or Reaper.

Of course I don't know what I am doing, so that may be part of it.

By clicking on DX Plugins or DXi/VSTi Synths.... same error either way. One asks me if I want to load a .ax file, and there are none, and when I try to load .dll I get that error.

Reaper is a DAW like RB, but with a deeper feature set. It just does not do any RTs type stuff, it is really more like Sonar than Rb.

I use a lot of Plugins in RB. in any audio track just open the track up by clicking on the down arrow, and add FX with the Edit Dx box drop down. Or in the mixer view the FX button in the tracks.

A box will open put any Effect in any of the 4 slots.

To add synths in RB, just click the DXi button at the top tool bar, and add any available, or there is an option to add a VSTi to the list. Click that and browse and find any folder with .dll files for synths and click them.

If the track is a MIDI track, the top slot of the four slots will be for a synth, the next three will alow effects. Did you try to load Ozone in the synth slot, Eddie?

Use an audio track. Also Ozone is truly not meant to be used in the Tracks FX area. You should open the mixer, got to the bottom right and click the FX button for the A1 slot. This is the main output slot, or final output in RB. Put Ozone in one of those FX slots.

I've asked for a shortcut to those FX slots for a long time but haven't got it yet. It's a pain to have to open the mixer to get to those slots.

Finally, did you run the install for Ozone? If selecting the DX version it has to have been installed to the system, clicking the dll won't work otherwise. All DX effects have to be installed to registry in Windows. VST effects do not.

Oh, one more thing- the first time you use a new effect in RB, you have to open the FX slot, go to the bottom of one of the dropdowns and choose 'add vst', so RB knows where to find it after that. Then never move the dll file or RB won't be able to find it.
