Is it possible to automate DX effects in FLStudio 5? It would be, for example, very nice to be able to automate Waves FX...

Thank you for your help, in advance.

Fl STudio doesnt recognize any DXi parameters on my machine. I dont know if that's a limitation of Direct X plug-ins or just FL Studio. Better try loop talk.

AFAIK you can't automate DX plugins directly in any host. However, most should react to MIDI CC automation and Waves come with an automatable VST loader, I beleive.

Well I've used those in Cubase so I think it's just a problem of Fruity's.

Better try loop talk.

Um, what's that?

I believe it was the DXi but I, of course, might be wrong...

A-ha! Waveshell5.0.dll seems to work, although it also seems to be somewhat buggy and crashes from time to time.

You must be using the Waves VST shell. DX plugs are not automatablet. Directx 8 allows for automation, but in a crappy way that most programmers don't bother with(to include Waves).

Does anybody make any DirectX only plugs besides Cakewalk these days?

Seriously, VST is a superior plugin architecture in so many ways. Latency and automation being the biggest issues. Really, Waves needs to dump that shitty format.
