To install your plugins, you must place the appropriate plugin file into the folder in which your DAW searches for plugins. After you have done this, restart your DAW and perform a rescan of the plugins on your system. MAC: On your Mac you will have two folders: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3 /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components VST3 for VST3 plugins and Components for AU plugins. Place \\"plugin-name.vst3\\" into the VST3 folder, and \\"plugin-name.Component\\" into the Components folder. It should look like this: To find this folder more easily, you can enable the Path Bar in Finder by going View -> Show Path Bar. Common problems: Ensure that the plugin is not hyperlinked but you have actually copied it/moved it into the plugin folder. If MacOS says \\"the file needs to be downloaded\\" it is because the file is stored in iCloud. Make sure it is actually sorted on your computer. WINDOWS: Windows has ONE location for VST3 files (Please try using this folder before contacting for help): C:/Program Files/Common Files/VST3 Plugins will appear as folders \\"plugin.vst3\\", this is normal and is recommended by Steinberg (the people who created vst3). Please copy the WHOLE FOLDER named (plugin.vst3) into the plugins directory. It should look like this: Common Problems: Please use the recommended install location, external locations such as on external drives, or those created by FL studio, do not work as reliably as the default location. DO NOT put the plugin into \\"Program Files(x86)\\", as this is a 32 BIT LOCATION.
