how to set up Live to load VST instead of AudioUnit?

Post by coffeencigs » Wed Feb 12, 2014 4:01 am

hey,

im trying to load a few old songs i made years ago into live.
my problem is that over the time i switched from mac to windows and now live cant find the audio units, even though i have installed every plugin as vst.

the point is that if live would load the plugin on start up, it will most likely load the patch i was using back then too..

so i need a way to either load the plugin properly or is there any other way to find out what patch was loaded inside the audio units!?

regards

One reason I use VST if at all possible, not to mention I can't put AUs into folders to organize them to my liking. Except Reaktor, because NI is a soulless, bloodless corporation (being cheeky) that will not let me move the Reaktor VST plugin to any folder, or suddenly DAWs can't find it. It's the only one I have that acts like this...

But I digress >.>

Pretty sure you can't do what you're trying to do. You can get OS X Snow Leopard from Apple for $20 still, you could try a VM and re-save all your Live Sets with VSTs.

Or find someone on a Mac that is willing to do it for you.
I don't 'produce.' I write music.
