I use virtual guitarist 2, now on Snow Leopard.

Hi, i'm looking for a copy of Virtual Guitarist 2. With the latest update from Steinberg the plugin works good as VST plugin on Lion, but, my DVD is lost and i don't have the content of the plugin.

Help needed, Thxs.

I have just performed this fix to get Virtual Guitarist 2 running under Lion. I have a couple of tips:

1) You should now use Xcode 4 to edit the .plist (free on the app store), which now includes the editing functionality previously in the Preference List Editor application

2) You will probably have to copy the .plist to your desktop, then edit it with Xcode, then copy it back (in order to be claim ownership of the file temporarily which allows you to edit it)

3) Don't forget the trailing slash to the VG2 content directory.

4) The installers (both those on the disk, and the update on Steinbergs website) seem to install the plugins, but not the content data. You must manually copy the content data off the original DVD to a location on your HDD before linking it up with VG2 using the .plist edit.

Hope someone finds this useful. Many thanks @luc Soens for creating this post which really helped me out!

Could you tell me what version of the Syncosoft licenser software you are using for the Steinberg key? and also is it the eLC or the older LLC?

VG2 works well on my PPC but after reading this, would like to use it on my Mac Pro. I want to use a version of the syncrosoft that will work with this in Snow Leopard but not wreck the firmware on my key so as not to jeopardize VG2 on the PPC. Thank you.

@opto - I am using the latest software all round - Lion, eLC & VG2 all updated to the latest release from their respective manufacturer's website.

Hello

I run VG2 in 10.8.2 but cannot find any solutions to get the files and the content

if you say :

On your Macintosh HD where Lion is installed go to Library -> Preferences and look for

"com.steinberg.Virtual Guitarist 2.plist"

I don't have any "com.steinberg..."

where is the prefs file ?

thanks you if yu can help

Sorry

is there a special stuff to do to see the pref. file ?

i have nothing in had/library/pref...

Hello

I did open the AU and the standalone apps, but cannot find a system to accès AT THE CONTENT

i did try the up sublect but i only have a pref as /VST/standalone/ and it's not working

i did try with an external HD or Internal (it's the same result!)

Hi there,

So I had exactly the same problem as you and solved it the following way.

(and this is courtesy of another thread on a Pro Tools site where they solved it).

1. If you still have VG2 installed on the priginal machine it came on, then you can just go to the Library/Preferences folder in there and fine the .com Steinberg file.

2. Copy this onto a thumb drive and copy it to your new machine - to the desktop

3. You MUST have Xcode 4 (free download from the Apple Developer site - which you may have to sign up for)

4. Double click it to open it in Xcode 4 - find the "Path" and edit to the new volume / locationyou have the VG2 content.

5. Save the file

6. Navigate to you Library/Preferences area in your new system and cut and paste the file into the Preferences folder

THis is what I did and it worked perfectly.

However - IF you do not even have the com file from an old install of VG2 on an older machine/older operating system, then this may not work.

Ping me and let me know - maybe I can copy mine and let you have it to see if that works?

Cheers

Stefan

If you need more step by step detail, let me know, but I hope the steps I outlined make sense.

Cheers

hello

thank you very much but it's still none working

It's a new install from the CD of VG2 (i have the licenced key) but i don't have any file to edit

and the one i found is not working...

Yes it could be an idea to try with your file

Hi!

Im realy need to know is there a way to run VG2 on Mountain or later?

Im working now on Snow 32bit.Works fine but i want to instal Lion and Logic X. Im using VG2 a lot so :)

Yes I am using VG2 on ML with out any problem all. But note that I installed VG2 on snow leopard, before upgrading the OS X. Following this thread, it looks like it should be possible to even istall it on ML.
