Sony SAC7000 User Manual

When you open the Plug-In Manager window, an Explorer view is displayed with separate folders for your plug-ins. 

Folder 

Description 

Audio FX

Displays all your DirectX and VST audio plug-ins. 

You can drag plug-ins to tracks or Mixing Console channel strips to add effects to your project. 

Select the All folder to display all audio plug-ins. 

• The  

Failed folder contains plug-ins that did not scan correctly or timed out during scanning. These plug-

ins cannot be used in ACID. You can right-click a plug-in and choose Rescan from the shortcut menu to 
attempt to rescan the plug-in for use in ACID. 

• The  

Ignored folder contains plug-ins that you want to prevent ACID from using without uninstalling the 

plug-in. You can right-click a plug-in and choose Ignore from the shortcut menu or drag it to the Ignored 
folder. 

• The  

Unavailable folder contains plug-ins that you have uninstalled since running ACID. ACID preserves 

information about uninstalled plug-ins so settings can be restored if the plug-ins are reinstalled. 

The Audio FX folder also contains additional folders you can use to organize and categorize your plug-ins. 
For more information, see

plug-in. You can right-click a plug-in and choose Ignore from the shortcut menu or drag it to the Ignored
folder.

The ReWire Devices folder also contains a Favorites folder you can use to keep your most-often-used ReWire
clients handy.  You can right-click a plug-in and choose Add to Favorites from the shortcut menu or drag it
to the Favorites folder.

To create custom folders for organizing your plug-ins, you can right-click a folder and choose New Folder

folder.
