Scanning for plug-ins
The 'problem' with Live is that you can only have 1 directory for all your plugins (well, 3 if you count 32bit, 64bit & VST3, but you get the idea). Which is why I always install every VST to a dedicated directory (d: ableton vst) and point Live towards that as well.
- VSTs (DSK Music ones) are not showing up in Ableton Hey Everyone! Basically, i downloaded the.dll files of the DSK Overture and Virtuoso VSTs, and placed them in the plugins folder.
- VST plug-ins might stop working when the stand-alone application of the plug-in gets moved, renamed or uninstalled. It's recommended to always install the VST file directly to the correct destination folder, rather than manually moving the DLL file afterwards. Use Admin rights (Windows only).
