Live 12 - VST and AU separate Plug In Lists?

Post by buckman » Tue Apr 23, 2024 9:14 am

I've just downloaded Live 12.02 on Mac M1 and now see that all my Plug Ins are lumped together in ONE list?

Is there a way to get back just an AU list, VST3 List etc so they are not all duplicated 3 times in one continuous list?
I believe Live 12 browser has changed things around a little with the filtering of lists, plugins etc?

Secondly, does anyone know how to quickly delete the AIRWINDOWS plug ins?
I installed a while ago, don't really use them, but there seems to be hundreds now just filling up my plugins list
I've emailed the company but no reply as of yet, so thought I'd ask here...

You can use the Live browser to search by plugin type (eg. VST3) and save that search

For your second question, there's a handy utility called PlugInfo - https://www.thinkersnacks.com/as-pluginfo.html

In this tool you can sort on Publisher and select the plugins that you want to delete
