Eddie, the TTS-1 is part of Cakewalk and can not be used with installing Cakewalk. This is the answer one gets when they ask the question can I use TTS-1 without installing Cakewalk "No, the plug-in is not available separately. It is a DXi so is not scanned by the VST scanner. It is registered during installation with the Windows program regsvr32.exe The default install path is C:Program FilesCakewalkShared DXiTTS-1"

DXis are old technology that must be registered with a host program, that is they can not be registered alone. VSTis can be registered alone without a host program.

VSTs are effect plug-ins like compressors, delays, reverbs, etc.
VSTis are instrument plug-ins like horns, violins, drums, etc.
Many times they are used incorrectly.

I hope this helps.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
