Anyoldname Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi, Its been a few years since I've done any recording. I'm almost having to re-learn everything. My hardware and DAW have outdated a bit since I last used them and I recently upgraded from XP/32, so I can use more RAM for my plugins. I got a PC with Asus P5Q board, 8GB DDR2, intel 9650 cpu, running Cubase 5. All great gear at the time I built it! I bought pod farm 1 with my toneport UX2 back in 2009 along with a triple pack. Everything worked fine on XP/32, but now I'm using 7/64, the plugin just doesn't work no matter what I try. Does pod farm 1 even work with Win7/64? My Line6 Monkey installed Pod Farm 2.5 and I can open it stand alone, altho it keeps asking me to activate it every time I open it, so I click the button and it shows my computer and my UX2 as authorised. But I looked on the site and it says there that 2.5 needs to be purchased to be used, its not a free update, so I'm a bit confused. I was happy with what I had before, I'd just like to get it working again in Win7/64. How can I do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 the plugin just doesn't work no matter what I try. Can you be more specific? Are you having issues getting Cubase to PF1or does it open in Cubase but not work? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyoldname Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Thanks for the reply. As far as I can tell, I have to put PF1 in C:/program files/steinberg//Cubase 5/VSTPlugins in order for Cubase to scan & find it. I did that, and it's now there in the list when I add a new insert, although the path from the plugin list now goes Pod Farm>>VST>>Line 6>>Pod Farm. Just by accident, I have discovered that if I insert it on a midi track, it works as and the pod farm interface loads as expected. However, if I try to insert it on an audio track, Cubase just freezes and I have to use task manager to shut it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyoldname Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Ok, I've solved the path issue by simply dragging podfarm.dll and the podfarm application into the Cubase5/VSTPlugins folder, but still if I try to insert it on an audio track, Cubase stops responding.. :/ Aslo, if I load a Cubase project on which I've used podfarm already, the project simply won't load and Cubase stops responding.

Triryche Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Maybe delete the dll file, uninstall PF1 and reinstall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyoldname Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Yes, I did that twice now, still the same thing happens. Is PF1 definitely ok to work with Win7/64 bit? Or does it require PF2.5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyoldname Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Aha! Ok I uninstalled PF1, installed PF2.5 and that works absolutely as it should, although its in trial mode right now. I'll buy a licence now, learn how this new version works and go make some merry noise! Thanks for helping me out, much appreciated :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'm pretty sure since you own the triple pack, purchasing PF2 standard you should still have access to your triple pack. Whatever you do, do not get the i-Lok version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anyoldname Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Haha no I won't! My iLok key is in 2 pieces, damn thing shorted and fried my motherboard, I had to get a new one! I have East West plugins aswell. This week, they helped me to register those to the computer without the iLok, so now I can throw that god awful thing in the bin where it can go and bother all the other rubbish! The only downside I found doing this is, for any songs I made in the past with PF1, I now have to delete the insert on any tracks where I used pod farm and start from scratch with pod farm 2 and set up the guitar sound all again. That's a real pain, but at least I can do it and it will work, rather than spending hours trying to find a problem! Thankis again mate :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
