Could not get sonic anormaly unlimiter to load. had computer guys try to get to load, they think something is up with the link. one is a I T guy and the other writes code. has anybody else downloaded that link?

Sonic Anomaly is no longer in business.  You can still download the Unlimited plugin from Web Archive's copy.  Follow the link below:
https://web.archive.org/web/20181203014924/http://sonic.supermaailma.net/plugins

The working download link is under the description of the plugin, or, click here to download directly:
https://web.archive.org/web/20181203014924/http://sonic.supermaailma.net/sites/default/files/download/Unlimited-VST.zip

Unzip the dll inside into a folder.  Then, in MusicBee follow the Preferences path hiccup gave you and specify YOUR folder path in the white box, as I have done with my own folder below:



Then be sure you have selected Unlimited in the list of DSP plugins in MusicBee under the equalizer.

Hi.
I've finally had a chance to try the VST Plugin for a spectral analyzer/spectogram VST, which worked yesterday. After installing the plugin, it opened the Musicbee VST Plugin UI that let me choose which VST to load/run.
All good and swell, and filtered down the ones that worked, and left the ones in a local directory in the portable folder (*:\*\MusicBee\Plugins\VSTs\), where the few I am after worked.
Today though, I can not find a way to access either UI... i.e. the neither the Musicbee VST Plugin UI, nor the VST UI itself does show when I switch: Controls -> DSP Effects ON (this was the mystery trigger yesterday that gave me access....). No luck today though...

What's the secret sauce here to show the Musicbee VST Plugin UI and/or the VSTs UIs...?
I can't seem to find any way at all...

Cheers.

There isn't a  "Musicbee VST Plugin UI" per-se, but VST plugins show up on the "DSP Plugins" list in the "Equaliser and DSP Plugins Window", accessible by hitting the "Equaliser & DSP" button in the lower right corner of Prefs/Player/Sound Effects.

Just curious, you said you installed a spectral analyzer/spectrogram plugin VST, did you need it to show something different than the "works great" non-VST Spectrogram Panel plugin by zkhcohen (https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=25944.0) ?

Oh - thanks sveakul! I looked up and down the menus... my skin I've settled on years ago was hiding that button very well...

I was always missing a way to scale/isolate a given frequency area directly in musicbee. So with the VST plugin for MB I now can call up quick visualizers/eqs with value scaling (like Span - https://www.voxengo.com/product/spanplus/ for a good free option)

Glad you found it!  I had the free SPAN at one time and it worked fine, although the "SPAN Plus" looks like it's worth the money.  It's kind of a shame that the MusicBee "Floating Window" can't be used to display a VST's GUI, I believe that is on the Wishlist.

Got pointed to a ton of free 32-bit VST plugins to try with MusicBee on this website:

Thank you to the developer Chris Johnson.  FYI 64-bit versions are also available on the home page.
