When UAD software is installed, UAD plug-ins are copied to the following default locations: Windows. VST (64bit) C: Program Files Steinberg VstPlugins Powered Plugins VST (32bit) C: Program Files (x86) Steinberg VstPlugins Powered Plugins AAX64 C: Program Files Common Files Avid Audio Plug-Ins RTAS. Generally plugins get installed in Program files VST or Program files (x86) VST. I suggest using the former for 64 bit plugins and the latter for 32-bit plugins (I personally just have them all go to Program files (x86) VST and have a subfolder for 32-bit, but it's sloppy and I don't recommend it).

Guys,
As a total newbie to Mixcraft 8 I watched all the videos on the official channel and I have learned a lot how to use the program but there is one thing that I am not sure about at present.
How do you scan your plugins in Mixcraft? What folder does your plug ins reside in?
I have Sonar X3 in my system and the plug ins for that reside in a folder called Cakewalk/Vst/Plugins. Something like that.
Sonar automatically creates this folder when you install it. You don't have to use it of course but I do. All your plugins reside in that folder unless you chose to assign them to another folder.

How To Download Vst

I have Mixcraft 64 bit and 32 bit installed on my Laptop. Mixcraft is letting me use some of my cakewalk plug ins in mixcraft. It seems to be letting me use 32 bit Cakewalk plug ins in Mixcraft 32 bit and some other 64 bit plugins I have such as Addictive Drums in Mixcraft 64 bit.

How To Install Dll Vst Plugins Plugin


When I want to install an external VST in Mixcraft where do I put them. Is there a special folder? How does Mixcraft basically know where to look for your external VST plug ins. I didn't see anything about specifying a folder for VST plug ins during installation.
Thanks Steve

You can’t find the Equator VST or AU plugin inside a digital audio workstation (DAW).

After downloading Equator from My ROLI and then installing it, the Equator plugin is saved in the following locations:

  • VST Plug-in: Mac HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/
  • AU Plug-in: Mac HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/

  • VST Plug-in (64-bit): C:Program FilesCommon FilesSteinbergVST2

Ensuring your DAW is using the correct plug-in location

Tracktion 7 vst plugins. Some DAWs have different default locations to scan for plugins. If you have installed a plugin (like Equator) and can’t seem to access it from your DAW, check the DAW’s settings to ensure that it is looking in the right folder. In some DAWs you can set additional folders to scan automatically.


For example, in Ableton Live:

  • Go to Preferences > File Folder.
  • Select the button Use VST Plug-In Custom Folders
  • Click Browse by VST Plug-In Customer Folder
  • In the window that opens, navigate to the folder where your VST plugin is located:
    • C:Program FilesCommon FilesSteinbergVST2Equator for RISE x64.dll
  • Press Rescan to make Ableton find the VSTs in that folder and make them available in your project.
