Hey. I have a waves plugin bundle that is all compiled as one .vst file in my VST folder, but when viewing in the Plug-Ins folder in the Live 9 categories browser, they all show as individual VSTs. I'd like to organize these VST's into folders such as "Noise Removal", "Compression", "Reverb" etc., because I find myself ignoring a lot of these plug-ins that I don't necessarily know by name. Anybody know how to do this?

Thanks!

I just realized I can organize them individually by putting each one in an Audio Effect Rack, and dragging it to a folder in the PLACES category of the browser. This will take way too long to do for each VST however. I'd still like a faster way to do it.

this is the only way.. you only need to save each plugin once.
and you can categorize these racks into folders.

before you save them ..hit 'configure' for each one and map the parameters in the order that you'd like them.
this will be useful later if you're using a 'control surface'

thanks for the reply!

when you say hit configure for each of them, do you mean something different than to assign a parameter to the X and Y dropdowns for each preset? It seems like your method allows for the mapping of more than 2 parameters, and I'm intrigued haha. Care to enlighten?
