missing VsTs

[david.barker]

Hi
I have succumbed to the Ableton Live 10 update,lol

Installed fine,but some of my VSts are missing!! I have the correct folder (named my plugins) the path to that is correct
,I am using a Windows 7 PC

I have rescanned, some of my VSts are showing up but not others/

Any ideas?
Cheers

Live 10 is 64 bit only so any vsts you have that are 32bit will not show up.

Hold down the alt key when scanning. This scans for both old and new plug-ins. Sometimes you need to even turn off plug-ins and reactivate them again.

[Mark Williams]

Yeah use the Alt key to do a force re scan of your vsts normally does fix it, as stormkraft suggested

Hi Folks

Yeah done the hold alt key option,still no joy.Yet my last Live install had no problems.I haven't touched the location of my plugin either

Since I am using that for another well know DAW too,he,he
You can't have enough tools ight,he,he

Been a while since I have used Live,work commitments,not been well,etc,so bit rusty on problem solving

But appreciate all your help

What about the folder structure? You've made changes to that?

Hi Stromkraft

No I haven;t touched anything like that.Mainly due to the fact I use Live and FL Studio 12, both got features I like,he,he
But I am digressing
All my plugins shows up in FL Studio 12 ,no problem there.I use only 64bit ones too.

I have my folder set as C:/Program files/my Plug ins
Will have another look as well

Really Appreciate your help,
Cheers

Recently, I had massive issues with Waves plug-ins not being acknowledged and had to delete them including every little preferences file. Hopefully you don't have to do something like that, because it's no fun.

You could try moving Live preferences to the desktop. Which is a longshot, but it's fast to undo. See the help article How to reset Live.

[david.barker]

Wow Stromkraft

Bet deleting those preference files was a real pain!!

Hoping this problem is a simple one,as I have installed the Live 9 suite,just to see if the problem is there,it is.

So maybe something I am not seeing or its a senior moment (aged 52)

Thank you for your help ,will look into what you suggested,I am not a one for giving up.But its a weird problem

Going to have a look at some of the Live 10 videos too ,see whats new

I have also sent a technical help ticket to Ableton,just waiting to hear back.

[david.barker]

Ok so good news at last!!

What I have discovered is that some of my VsT plugins were in subfolders and not in the main "My Plugins folder"

So carefully moving them under one roof,under the My plugins one,I have rescanned with Live and now they are showing up!

I need to tidy a couple of folders but all good so far

Will post here,when I have done a test run

looks like a long night,thankfully got a day off work tommorow,he,he

[Tarekith]

Thanks for updating us that you got it figured out, and what the issue was.

Go forth, make music.

Thanks a lot Tarekith

And thank you to everyone else ,helping ,me out too.
Just need to study the new features of Live 10,he,he first,get acquainted after a long break

As music is only a hobby for me sadly,but its not the end of the world.

Hi David,
i am using Ableton 9 and i am thinking about buying FL Studio Signature (because i get 30% off and 28 EUR off, about 175 EUR to pay for Signature).
I am still "deep learning" Ableton and i really like that easy sample based functions/Clips and all that.

But back in the days i had Fruity Loops and i was amazed about that piece of Software!!!!!!!
And it got lifetime upgrades!!!

So - i am thinking about buying FL Studio and use both: FL and Ableton.
What do you think - is it really worth buying FL Studio and use it with AL (ReWire?).
The Instruments of FL Studio are FL Studio exclusive - i cant use them as VSTs in Ableton, right?

How do YOU use FL Studio and Ableton together?

Regards
Alfonx

Aha, very cool feature - keep in mind FL Studio can run as a vsti inside ableton. So you run ableton, put fl studio on a midi track, and inside fl studio run your fl studio exclusive synth - but remember if you go "full full" all in purchase version of fl studio, all plugins version of fl studio, you get the vsti versions of synths included like harmor, etc and they work flawlessly in ableton. It's a good idea owning both. I'm on pc gosh darnit and I bought reaper too and yes I even just upgraded my bitwig...

but for FL integration it's easy... check it out: https://youtu.be/TLdbrqtQ72k
