Can't Find Vst Plugin Folder Reaper
Posted By admin On 24.12.20
Reaper can’t find LePou VST plugins on PC newbieland. Human being with feelings. Therefore, it will not show in your plugins menu when on a mono track. NOTE: VerbSuite Classics can be found in your plugins list under 'Slate Digital'. FG-224XL, FG-224, FG-3000, FG-3500, and FG-BM7 are expansions. Fear not - you can download ReaPlugs, a package of FX that includes many of the plug-ins that come with REAPER, for free! General features of ReaPlugs: Support for Windows 98/ME/2K/XP/Vista/W7, WINE.
REAPER user Khatcha send me an email today with a tip to help those on Windows that found some of their VST plugins were tiny after the REAPER 6.0 upgrade.

I’d like to give a useful tip concerning the version 6.xx on Windows only and it’s about the issue with plugins scaling on 4K monitors (or probably less).
With this recent version of Reaper, all my plugins were drastically shrunk and it was impossible to work with such a small UI resolution.
I tried to find the problem with the Advanced UI/ System Tweaks on Reaper but that didn’t help me.

I even tried to change some parameters in the Theme development options but it was unsuccessful.
I finally found the issue, I’ll give to you so you can spread it better than me :
- Go to the properties of the file “reaper.exe” (ALT+ENTER shortcut or Right-Click on the file and select “Properties”) and go to the “Compatibility” tab.
- Click on “Change Hi DPI Settings” and you will have 3 options: Application, System and System Enhanced. Switch to System or System Enhanced et voila!
Of course, keep in mind that REAPER 6 is very new and these things are likely to change and improve in the coming months. Reporting your experience to the official forum with your system info, problem plugins, settings and workarounds is the only way things can improve for all.
The 6.02 update has some changes in this regard, Justin sent me a message on Twitter.
6.02 has a per-plug-in setting to allow the floating FX to be hidpi-unaware. Or you can go to preferences/general/advanced settings, and change the HiDPI Awareness mode to “Unaware” (which makes the behavior match 5.x).

If you try this workaround, let us know in the comments if it worked for you as well.

Reaper scanning the plugins is still faster than ProTools just starting up though. BUT...I can't understand why sometimes it does this and other times it does not. It used to scan after a system restart and then I would be fine until the next crash that forced a reboot, which could be days or even weeks later. Now...it's happening often but just totally haphazardly, which seems quite odd.
I did check the Reaper installation folder and its Plugins and FX folders and I don't see anything in there that looks out of place. Certainly, I don't recognize anything that I have added to the plugins in the last month or so. The FX folder has only things that begin with 'Rea' anyway, so I'm pretty sure those are okay. And comparing the Plugins folder with an older installation I also have I don't see anything unusual.
It's a mystery!
