Drum vst
I tried to just drop in a drum track vst into the ..\WavosaurPortable\Data\vstplugins directory, but it crashed when I tried to apply it.
I imagine there is some trick to portabilizing the vsts?
Edit:
Moved them to ..\WavosaurPortable\App\DefaultData\vstplugins and it doesn't crash. Doesn't work
just mutes the main audio, but it doesn't actually "place" the new vst.
Can get the portablized ones to work.
(Ok, ok, ok... I may break down and un-compile the NSIS stuff and see how it works.)

If you've already run the app
If you've already run the app and then put something in DefaultData it won't do anything. It'll just sit there until you delete your settings directory, then it'll be copied over into Data.
When you say 'drum track vst', what do you mean? Which one was it? Wavosaur is an audio editor so it's not going to trigger any sounds. We're talking reverb, delay, chorus, compression etc., stuff you can apply to a WAV file. No VST instruments
If you want to program drum tracks using MIDI, get REAPER Portable.
But you're right, portabalizing the plugs is a different question, althought there are some good, free, standalone ones. I would recommend the Kjaerhus Classic Series as a good place to start. GVST do some interesting stuff and there's also the REAPER plugs in the first post too. All portable and free.
Although, having said that, I've portabled (?) a lot of plugins by running VST Host with a launcher but I think we're on a different subject already
Drop another line if you need any more info.
Ahhh...
I was trying to figure out what the difference was between Reaper and Wavosaur.
I'll also try the other links, too. (I tried several, but Drumatic 3.0 seemed the best recommended.)
I do use Audacity, but that may be because I started using it years ago. Kinda like Blender, once you get used to it, it isn't a big deal. (It is just different from everything else.)

OK, you'll need something
OK, you'll need something like REAPER for Drumatic.
The links I posted weren't for drum VSTs specifically. If you're looking for drums, try here. I'm not vouching for the portability of any of them though
If you want something simpler than REAPER, try MU.LAB Free. It's limited to six tracks but it's portable out of the box. If you try it and like it let me know and I'll do a PAF installer/launcher for it.
Yowza
Thanks for the link! That mu.lab is pretty rough!
Not that big of a deal, but this machine I'm on doesn't have an ASIO driver, that apparently it wants. :doh:
Have tried Reaper. I think I just need to learn it a bit more - some of the FX work, but some don't. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong.
Keep up the good work at portablizing these things! (If you find a non-linear video editor, count me as +1 for making one of those portable!)

LOL
Have you tried installing ASIO4ALL? Works great with generic soundcards.
EDIT: Check the REAPER help file for a link to the manual
Thanks!
Cool link on that ASIO4all. Alas, it didn't immediately work, but I haven't had a chance to do much digging on it.
Was going through the Reaper manual (rare that my eyes fall onto a manual)
and it looks like my issues can be overcome. Since some fx work, but others don't, I suspect it is a settings issue.
Thanks for all your work!

Audacity
Is this different from or better than Audacity? There's only so many sound editors one could want/need.
It'll do much the same.
It'll do much the same. Personally, I prefer Wavosaur. I don't know what it is about Audacity that I don't like. Probably that I have to spend too long trying to figure out how to do anything LOL. Wavosaur seemed a bit more familiar straight off. For me anyway
Audacity
The toolbar buttons always looked like they were designed by Fisher Price. I honestly don't use it that much so I guess I'm not the best to comment but I was just curious.
