I used Cool Edit Pro 2.0 for years and recently upgraded to Adobe Audition. I know that 'Refresh Effects List' in Edit Waveform view will update plugins that were installed on your computer. I downloaded some seemingly nice plugins in .zip form and extracted them into the 'vstplugins' folder in the Adobe directory but they still don't show up. In these .zip files are two files; one is a .dat and one is a .dll. My question is are these even compatible with Audition? And if so, how can I make them show up as usable plugins?

Adobe Audition Vst Plugins Not Working

Many are good, but not all. Both Adobe Audition and Reaper have built-in noise reduction. Pro Tools does not. Audition’s built-in noise reduction is excellent. Reaper’s ReaFir is both difficult to locate and isn’t extremely intuitive to use. In a pinch, both work well, but I definitely prefer Audition’s interface and controllability.
Oct 14, 2019 Adobe Audition supports third-party 64-bit audio plug-ins in VST 2.4, VST 3.0 formats for macOS and Windows, and Audio Units for macOS. Note: VSTi and virtual instrument synthesis plug-ins are not supported at this time. To locate plug-ins or manage their visibility in the application, use the Audition Audio Plug-In Manager.

Adobe Audition Vst Plugins Not Working

Cant install this VST plugin I want to use YOU WA SHOCK a VST plugin by Red Shine Sound in audition cc 2020 but everytime I use plugin manager it just doesnt show it up at all I tried looking on the internet for this but I couldnt find anything, so if you know how I can use this plugin or if audition doesnt support it at all then you can tell. Cool edit doesn't support VST to my knowledge, so you would have to use the VST wrapper to convert the plugins to DirectX. I don't know if the wrapper is actually a program in itself, but more likely it acts like another plugin. Just install the file to your plugins folder and you should be able to use it.
