hey i did everything perfectly but when i go to ableton to insert thee sound into the plug in it doesnt appear in my files but when i open my files normally i can clearly see it someone help lol
What plugin is it?
@ I actually got it I was doing the wrong input thank you tho 😂
@@AserCentral No probs, glad you got sorted!
Im on splice and all the plugins are wav, does that mean i cant use them ?
I think you mean samples on splice? Yes you can use wav files
@@pushpatterns I can, if I use my mouse to drag them on the tracks but they are not in the directory and I can't use them as an instrument. For example if I download a bass sound, I can't use that bass as an instrument, I only have the audio sample, I can't use it in the piano roll
@@pushpatterns okay i just found how to do it
@@arthurbrunet2177 Yes, what you are describing are audio samples. They cannot be used as an instrument directly, but you can drag the file into simpler or sampler to play as an instrument. However, what you need are some VST plugins. There are a few available in Ableton Live, such as Drift.
i installed a plugin and turned on all the preferences and it works!! but it shows me that i have like 3 plugins that are basically the same... why??
It can be confusing, but there are 3 types of plugins you can use in Live: AU, VST2, and VST3. Any of these will work, but AU plugins are apparently more efficient on Mac computers. You can use the new filters in Live 12's browser to limit the number of versions you see.
but you only have auv2 on your plug in , don't have vst in your plug in which same as me. i cant find my vst:((
I only had them because this was a new computer when I was doing the video. Run the video and if you still can’t find the you will need to locate where the files are stored. This is in the video as well. Hope this helps
Make tutorial how to install nexus,
Say please lol
when I look at my plug ins when I copy them into the vst file, is appears grey and I can't use it know why/
Did you follow all the scanning steps in this video?
@@pushpatterns yeah i did
I’m not sure about this one sorry. Best to contact Ableton’s customer support
hi im korg i'm made of rocks

@@Genekelcy7 🥹
