Missing Option For VST3 Under Plug-In Sources

Post by jacob2816 » Tue Jan 14, 2025 9:09 am

For some reason there is no option for any other types of folders other than my custom VST plug-in folder so I cannot use KONTAKT. This has not been a problem before and I have only now noticed VST3 isn't there or VST2. Anyone have any ideas?

I would've added a picture but this image inserting function doesn't work.

Upgrade to at least Live 10.1. It's free.
