How to cancel the automatic scanning of the VST3 folder each time Audirvana Origin is opened?

Hello, I am thinking of purchasing a perpetual license for Audirvana Origin, I have been using it in demo version for almost 3 weeks, they have understood everything, both the audio engine and the graphic interface, small improvement by loading Audirvana with the optimizations of another software: Fidelizer Pro 8.
I would say the only thing that bothers me is: the re-scanning of all my VST3 audio plugins each time I open Audirvana Origin, this is not necessary every time knowing that I don’t install new ones every day VST3 plugins, but it must be said that with all my VST3 installed, it takes almost three minutes before getting control of the Audirvana Origin software, it’s very annoying, too bad there is no solution to deactivate this automatic scanning of VST3, it would be good for the next versions to come to be able to do it, thanks to you I am rediscovering all my audio libraries, I can’t believe my ears, your sound is much more lively and understandable, I don’t know how to say what I feel.
I am a very critical person about audio qualities, most of the time often disappointed, my mind always corrects it for my ears, when I listen to a title I love to compare what I have in auditory memory (around 50,000 hours since I was 18, that’s almost it, the memory remains intact, at home anyway - I perfectly remember the live sound during the concert of the group “Archive” in 1999 at the St Nolff festival in Brittany! a big marquee, I’ve never felt anything like it since, presence and very loud volume, a good big slap in your face as they say.)
So with each listen, almost often my mind compares what I know with what I hear: “again??” and it often criticizes for the worst, before it is satisfied and tells me: this is better that before, something different from usual happens, because the monotony annoys me like everyone else, the monotonous sound bores me, as with everything, yes, that’s it. So to get back to my point: how to deactivate the automatic scanning of VST3s each time I open: Audirvana Origin??? Thank you software programmers, I hope you hear me. I kiss you very much and encourage you in your next updates for this deactivation of the automatic re-scan of VST3, in advance, thank you guys.
You are geniuses, sonic youth is listening to it at the moment: “shadow of a doubt”, reminds me so much of when I left my family home on a fairly cold night on my BMX bike (I don’t remember which bike it was … ) when I was around 12, 13 years old, my parents’ escape to the countryside through music listened to with a cassette walk-man, and yes guys, before the digital age we had cassettes that made a background noise: fooooofffffffffff or faaaashhhhhhhh, depending on the quality of the tape. At the time, I was running a lot at night during my working week at the printing house, renting a small room for a young worker, needing space I think after work, running at nightfall with my walk- man with cassette, what an escape.
Doing sports in the middle of the night with your cassette walk-man as your only hearing aid, and pulling over to the side of the ditch when a car comes towards you, thinking that he doesn’t think you’re crazy in the middle of the night, well no, I goes jogging at night and I love it, I don’t meet anyone and I’m more connected with my music, with what I listen to.
VST3 Folder Scan — disables – OK.

– THANKS

Hello @John2256

What a fascinating read. I love your passion. One most coherent monologues I’ve come a cross in my whole life!

Im hoping to see the opera by Brett Dean Hamlet at the Sydney Opera House in a week or two where your post will resonate for me.

I hope someone can help you with your scanning problem

Regards

Phil

Hi @John2256,

How many VST3 do you have installed?

I would say between one hundred and two hundred or so.

You are not the first one to ask you such a thing, but I can’t guarantee you when or if we will do something about it.

May I ask why so many?
I then checked, and I have nearly 100!
I was surprised I had that amount.
Also surprised in that this has no bearing on Audirvana load time.
Audirvana loads in under 10 seconds for me.
Though I don’t have a prticularly large library, if the vsts were the problem would it not slow mine down too?

I think you strongly should, I am on my trial period right now and I love the app and what it does, but I also produce music and I have a huge library and ALL of my plugins are in VST3 format, and I am not kidding when it takes 5-6 minutes to just fire up the app if it has been closed, and for me its a deal breaker right now, so much I am actually choosing to not subscribe once my trial period is over. And I am sure Í am not alone in this matter, I am sure there are many more but are not raising their concern like I am now.
So if you want even more customers, please add such an option or a workaround, cuz currently I can’t make it work since I have custom built templates in my DAW and it relies on my custom made search paths for plugins that loads up in my DAW.
Hope this can fuel some fire into the right direction

Best regards, Tim.

Welcome…
Why not create a separate boot-partition or boot-drive for Audirvāna and any relative plug-ins employed in the context of Audirvāna playback?

I completely understand what you’re talking about. I also have a lot of VST3/Audio Unit on my devices, and it’s very slow to load everything at the same time.
