On Microsoft Windows, the default audio subsystem is not efficient enough for most music work. For this reason, Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH developed an alternative audio subsystem called ASIO (Audio Stream Input/Output), which is primarily an approach for writing software drivers for compatible aftermarket audio interfaces, and use of these ASIO drivers has become standard practice for all Windows DAWs and other VST hosts.

Since the mid-2000s, however, the audio-output interfaces built into nearly all recent PCs are actually efficient enough for music work, and German programmer Michael Tippach developed a generic ASIO driver called ASIO4ALL which can also be used with Windows DAWs.

You should be using an ASIO sound driver with any Windows DAW. If you have a good external audio interface, it will have come with its own ASIO driver. Otherwise, get ASIO4ALL and use that.

Re: FLEX: All Plugins Bundle VST Use in Other DAWs? Abriel wrote: I am curious if FLEX will be available to use as a VST in other DAWs. We don't have any plans to create a VST version of FLEX. A VST plugin is a software-based audio effect or a virtual instrument intended for use in a host program that supports Virtual Studio Technology. Most digital audio workstations nowadays can load VST and VST3 plugins. VST plugins are used to expand a virtual music studio, much like how hardware effects and instruments are utilized in a real studio. Kuassa’s plugins starting supports all DAWs format. Started from the release of Cerberus Bass Amp on March 2015, their range of Equalizers: EVE-MP5 and EVE-AT series now supports all kind of plugins format. Kuassa aims to complete all of their plugins’ update before November 2015 to support all plug-ins format from VST, VST3, Audio Units, AAX, to Rack extensions. DAWs work with VSTs. They are not standalone programs which means that they cannot be opened without using a DAW. In order to use VSTs you need a daw that supports them like Cubase. VSTs are the necessary programs that help you mix.

As I write this (December 2017), the NetVST plugins are limited to not more than 2048 samples per buffer. If you are using ASIO, the driver will typically default to 512-sample buffers, which will be fine. Otherwise, your DAW may default to using a very large buffer size such as 4410, which will overwhelm the NetVST plugins and result in a crash. It's therefore very important to set up your DAW and/or sound driver to use a buffer size less than 2048—preferably 512 or even 256 if your system will support it, and on most PCs this requires use of an ASIO driver.

There are a couple reasons this might be happening, but the most likely is a plug-in folder mismatch. Different Windows DAWs use different default plug-in folders, and for this reason there is no common place for us to install a plug-in such that it will be found by all DAWs. By default we install your Eventide VST plug-ins to c:Program FilesCommon FilesSteinbergVST2 (or c:Program Files (x86)Common FilesSteinbergVST2 for 32 bit plug-ins on 64 bit Windows installations). However, your DAW may not be looking here. You can solve this by either adding this path to your DAWs list of plug-in paths or by locating your DAW's plug-in path and installing your Eventide plug-in there.
