Hosting Plugins

eyal23, Daniel.
When you get around to actually enabling all of the buses from a plugin within your DAW please take a look at this post

I poke at my issue every once in a while but then get so frustrated I go back to coding other things. I am sure it is something simple I am missing.

Yes, most plugins only expose a single stereo bus, but other programs like virtual drum kits (SSD4, SSD5 anything ToonTracks) and Orchestral suites (IkMultiMedia Philharmonik 2, Spitfire,…) have 16-24 stereo buses (32-48 ‘channels’) and a few mono auxes.
