Ableton Forum

Hi

I downloaded DSK Overture (WINDOWS) and unzipped the file in this Path :
OS(C) > Programme > Common Files > VST3 as usual.
Then,
I can clearly see the DSK Overture folder with two files inside: "Read Me" and ".dll".
If I consult this path by going directly into my file explorer, I find it normally.

BUT , When I go through Ableton (Live 12 Intro) following the usual procedure: ie: Options tab / Preferences / Plug-in / search in VST 3 . I select the same path as in file explorer and after the rescan it didn't work.VST does not appear in Ableton's Plug-ins section;
And if I check the path used in Ableton, the last DSK Overture file is empty... can't find the '.dll' file.

In fact, I don't know if my problem concerns DSK, VST editor, or Ableton and I am unable to know where I went wrong.
If you could help me....
regards.

DLL files represent a VST2 plugin. This plugin is quite outdated, and there isn't a VST3 version available. Furthermore, it in a 32-bit format, which is no longer supported in Live. However, there are ways to use them anyway.
More information about Live and plugins in general here.
