When this folder is selected, click the arrow in the very top left corner of the plugin window, and navigate to “ Add to plugin database (flag as favourite) “. This will add the plugin to the chosen folder. Click F8 to open the plugin picker, and you should see your plugin within this view. Inside my VST folder I have a 32bit folder and a 64bit folder and install VST's accordingly. I just point FL towards this VST folder as it's extra directory to scan and it finds everything in all the subdirectories fine, including all the 32 and 64 bit versions of the same plugins, although I admit the names are doubled and I have to find out. I wasn't putting the VST plugin in the right folder, it was in a folder in program files, and i was putting into an FL studio folder on my desktop. And yeah sorry about the piracy.but im 16 and couldnt spend 100 bucks on a hobby i might not actually pick up lol. Sorry if this question seems extremely basic, but I can't seem to find the VST folder to put newly installed virtual instruments in. I am using Windows with Reaper as my DAW, and I have searched that it's suppose to be in a directory located in a folder called 'Steinberg'. Similarly with AU plugins, to Macintosh HD:/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/. The xtension for AU plugins is.au. If the plugin is found, set the path to the folder where the 'plugin name.dll' file is located as the VST plugins extra search folder, or the folder above it if the plugin is a sub-folder of a folder containing other plugins. These would include documentation files and other files related to the installation, but not the actual VST DLLs. I have a folder on my C: Program Files called 'VST Plugins' and that's where I keep the actual DLLs and I do so by having separate 'vendor' subfolders. This is mostly for easy organization and updating.

To give Lié access to all your VST instruments, you will have to scan your plug-ins first. This is necessary since Lié itself has no sound engine on its own. It will always work as a shell for VST instruments.

Please note that Lié does not check for new VSTs on every startup. if you install VST instruments in the future, you will need to manually trigger a plug-in scan to make a newly installed instrument appear inside Lié.

Free vst recording software. In order to prevent that a DAW running in the background blocks Lié's scanning routine from accessing some VSTs, we recommend to perform the plug-in scan from Lié's standalone application.

  1. After completion of the firmware update, Lié will tell you that your plug-in folder is still empty and suggests performing a first plug-in scan. Confirm this suggestion. You can always trigger the plug-in scan at a later point by navigating to Menu -> Plugin Manager, then clicking on Options at the bottom and selecting 'Scan for new or updated VST plugins'.
  2. A window will pop up, asking you for the VST plug-in directories on your computer.
    • On a Windows computer, there is no standard folder for VST plug-ins. By default, the list will only contain the standard directory that UVI Workstation's VST plug-in is installed in (C:Program FilesVstplugins). This is a popular folder used for VST plugins on Windows. Please add all folders containing the VST 64bit instrument plug-ins that you want to use inside Lié. Click on the '+' symbol to add folders.
    • On a Mac, the directory for VST plug-ins is standardized. Normally, you don't need to change anything.
  3. Click on 'Scan' to perform the plug-in scan within the folders. Depending on the amount of plug-ins you have installed, this might take a while. After completion, it is likely that you will get a notification about certain VST plug-ins not being recognized. Don't worry: Most of the times, the plug-ins that cause problems are VST effect plug-ins, not VST instruments. Lié can host VST instruments exclusively, so this is not a bug.
    The “Plug-in Manager” window will now display the list of all VST plug-ins that were recognized:
    Note: If some of your plug-ins are listed in red, they may have a compatibility issue with Lié or their license is not activated properly: You can try to use “Force-scan” in “Options” to get them to work inside Lié anyway. However, this procedure may cause instabilities with your DAW.
  4. You can now start playing the factory sounds in Lié Standalone. To load a factory preset, just double-click on it or step through the preset list by pushing the left or right Button on Touché (SE).
    You can also create your own mappings for all your VST instruments that were recognized by Lié. To create your own plug-in preset with 3rd party VST instruments, please refer to this article: Creating a new Plug-in Preset

  1. We're currently conducting systematic tests with the release version of macOS 11 (Big Sur) in order to offer full compatibility of our products as soon as possible. You can find our latest compatibility status - here


    Please note that although announced at the same time as macOS Big Sur, Apple Silicon processors are an independent release with separate compatibility concerns for NI products.
