Acid Pro 11 won't open AutoTune 11

Hi folks

I'm running the current release of Acid Pro 11 on my Windows machine. All is working fine EXCEPT it will not open AutoTune 11 onto a track. I can see it on the list of available VST3 plugins. But when I click on it to load it, nothing happens. Yet, if I select another Antares plugin, Harmony Engine, that loads in immediately with no problem.
 

So is there an issue with this?
Thanks

Paul
PS. I can load the plug-in fine in Reaper or Cubase. It is just Acid Pro 11 that seems to not like it

@paulyuk6 I suggest you try a plugin chainer like DDMF Metaplugin, Plogue Bidule or Waves Studio Rack to load plugins that don't work with Acid Pro 11.

Thanks for those suggestions, I'll check them all out. For my standard effects I have been using the excellent MixBox from IK Multimedia.

I installed Waves Studio Rack (they now call it Studioverse) loaded it up in Acid Pro 11 and I was then load AutoTune onto a track. So it solved the problem! The only downsides were that it insisted in installing loads of demo versions of Waves plugins that I don't have (and don't need) and also AutoTune's graphic mode wouldn't work, because it needs to directly scan the entire audio track it is loaded onto. But this is a step forward anyway. Many thanks!
