DLL File
DLL File
Window 10, I3 8GB using ableton 10 Intro and trying to use Amplitube IV as a plugin in live. I re-scanned browse etc but I'm not able to see none of the plugins. IKMultimedia told me to look for the DLL file and move it etc etc but they din't tell me where to go to find it. It seems that the music software/hardware assume we are computer scientists, I just a musician that spends more time figuring out how to use a piece of software/hardware than to playing music. But anyway, if anybody knows how to find them or what to do different so I can use Amplitube inside Live, that would be, great.

Re: DLL File
I have all my VST2 plugins [DLLs] in C/Programfiles/Vstplugins and in Ableton (in options) that's the folder I point to.

Re: DLL File
I would suggest reinstalling the software and seeing if you’ve installed the vst plug in.
I recommend installing all plug ins into the same directory, or if you use a default directory, not to move the dll but to create a ‘shortcut’ to the dll in a directory. You can do this (once you find the dll) by copying it, then going to your desired directory and right clicking to select ‘paste as shortcut’. Sometimes moving dlls around can Break a vst and make it unusable. So try to make it so you don’t need to move them once installed either by installing consistently or by creating shortcuts.
Personally, I like making a folder of shortcuts to ALL installed dlls and make a folder in that for Live of only the dlls I use. If I start getting crashes on startup, I can easily start a new Ableton Live dll folder and add/remove from my pool of dlls.
Also, make sure that when you install the vst that it is 64 bit (if you’re using 64 bit Live).
But yeah, if you can’t find it. Perhaps uninstall and reinstall to see if things work out. Not sure if uninstalling will remove any presets you’ve already created though.
