Installing a plugin in OBS is very easy, you just have to make sure you are installing a plugin for the correct version of OBS. If you downloaded the OBS installer and used the default location the file paths will look like this on a 64bit Windows:

Plugin
  • C:Program Files(x86)OBSplugins
    • 32bit plugins go here
  • C:Program FilesOBSplugins (old OBS versions used: C:Program Files(x86)OBS64bitplugins)
    • 64bit plugins go here

I figured it out. I didn’t realize that the LABS instruments were all controlled by one plug-in called ‘LABS’ (instead of a different plug-in for each instrument; each download appeared to install a new plug-in but actually was just overwriting the one and only) and that the AU-formatted version would be installed (the installer made it look like it would install the VST2. I think with the new FL Studio there is an 'extra vst plugins' serach folder option that you can write in there. For the current release, I think there are 3 or 4 standard VST locations that are standard to the industry (I could be wrong) but honestly don't know if there is a registry key that you can change to change the search location for the VST plugins.

Obs Vst Plugin Folder

Vst

/serum-free-vst-reddit.html. Like this on a 32bit Windows:

And if you downloaded the Binaries as a Zip file for example, you will have a file path like this:

  • OBS32bitplugins
    • 32bit plugins go here
  • OBS64bitplugins
    • 64bit plugins go here

If you are not sure which version is being started by the Shortcut you currently use, just right-click the Shortcut and click on “Open file location”. Alternatively you can also check the OBS log-file. To find the latest log, inside OBS click on Settings -> Open Log Folder. And check the version notice in one of the logfiles.
Now after you downloaded your desired plugin you wish to install, its probably the easiest way to extract it into a temporary folder. Especially if you installed OBS into the program files folder you wont need to run WinRar or a similar program with administrative rights. In this temporary folder you will have one dll file and depending on the plugin maybe a subfolder with more stuff. All of these files just have to be moved into the earlier mentioned plugins folder of the correct OBS version you are using. Keep subfolders etc. intact and make sure they land directly in the plugins folder.
Make sure your OBS was closed, or restart it after installing plugins, and then you can click on the Plugins button in OBS to check that your newly installed ones are showing up:

Studio One Vst Plugin

Some plugins also offer configuration options while others allow you to add other stuff to your sources, so this the next step from here depends on your plugin. Have fun!

Obs Vst Eq Plugins

In the future OBS will probably provide its own plugin installer which will ease the whole process of installing a plugin. But for the moment a few mouse-clicks have to be done! As always please comment if you found a mistake or have an addition.
