Determine if a plugin is VST or AU in a project

Post by stereodrive » Wed May 24, 2023 4:18 pm

Hello,
I'm wondering if there's a way to determine whether a plugin is a VST or Audio Unit in the interface of Ableton Live. I'm experiencing an issue with SSL plugins, specifically the Channel Strip and G Comp, where Ableton crashes if I use both VST3 and AU versions in the same project. To identify which plugin is which, I'm examining existing projects but I find it hard to find out

One way is to activate hot swapping for the plugin. This will open the corresponding plugin folder in the browser.
