I have been getting a lot of pre-release VST & VSTi for testing and for making tutorial & marketing videos. It is awesome. However, sometimes the installers aren’t completely sculpted as they would be for an official release. One particular upcoming iZotope plug, which is absolutely going to blow you away, didn’t ask me where I wanted it to install the x64 and x86 VST .dll files.

It defaulted into the Steinberg folder. That isn’t where I keep my plugs. So, I tried to copy and paste all the .dll files on the off chance that might work. Sometimes it does. Like with smaller, less expensive plugs. Simply moving the .dll files around isn’t a problem. But, with the bigger more expensive plugs, like those from iZotope, you can’t do that.

I didn’t want to uninstall and reinstall, because no one likes doing that. So, I did a bit of digging and found a simple solution.

Ableton Live Vst Folder

Having the option to add more than one VST folder in the preferences would be great, Sonar has this feature (but I hate Sonar and it's practically the only thing I like about it) The advantage of having this feature is that you can add one VST folder at a time and Ableton would scan each individual VST folder. So if you have some plugins that crash on scan you could simply only add the folders with the working plugins. It's specially helpful when you have tons of VSTs installed. Scanning tons of VSTs is very time consuming specially when you have many that crash Ableton on scan.
