Help me install a VST please

Post by kselbee » Sat Mar 10, 2007 11:19 pm

I've successfully installed my first VST (EZ Drummer) and it works great. I just downloaded Automat and want to install it but don't see a .vst file... why not? How do I install this one? Thanks....

automat is an AudioUnit file and thus only has a component and not a VST file.

This means it is only available for macs.

On a mac, place it inside Library/Audio/Plug Ins/Components (either in your User Library folder or in the main Library folder)
