Hello,
I'm struggling to get some of my VSTs to show up in Ableton Live 9.
I note that there are 2 locations (certainly on my PC)...
1) C > Program Files > Steinberg > VSTplugins...
2) C > Program Files (x86) > Steinberg > VSTplugins...
Does anyone know which one I'm supposed to point to, please?

Live is 64bit only now so will not work with any plugins in the x86 (32 bit) folder. Forget about that and any plugins you have that are only 32bit.
