This man always knows what the people need. Thank you once again!
Best way to organize VSTs! big thumbs up!! 👍
I still class myself as a beginner, 2 ish years in. I have the hardest time finding installed plug-ins etc! Bought one a month ago, still never used it lol...
I will try this, thanks for the help. : )
Placing a shortcut in a VST folder that points to other folders is something i never knew would work hahaha
Even for a intermediate user like myself, that's useful information and can save a lot of time and frustration
Or we can just fight against plugin developers and Steingberg to just let us choose which folders we wanna use
To me it seems like a really arbitrary limitation to not be able to point to multiple locations, or have some other solution. Bitwig allows for multiple locations I believe.
Thanks for watching Dadda, beginning of phase two for the channel with fresh beginner friendly content.
@@CollectiveIntelligenceMusic yes, it is really weird that Ableton won't let us use more folder locations.
On the contrary, it does become more streamlined if you have limited options as this will make it more user friendly only allowing 1 custom folder.
happy to see you again bro
thank you so much for all the videos and usefull lessons ,much love
the best way... if on windows.... "C:\Program Files\Common Files" you will see VST2 and VST3 folders... NOTE this will only show if you have installed the plugins... Now you can make the shortcuts of those folder and put them in the Abel folder and it will scan for your plugins... Well this is usefull if you are using diffirent daws so it helps.... i think installing on the default place of the VST is better then changing the locations coz most DAWs find for the Common folder to look the Plugins... I know its a lot of information but this should be added in this video.... Good video broo thankx for sharing... One last TIP... VST2 can be tricky coz some of them may be OLD and dose not support in the Ableton so it will crash so make it sure you have tested or they are qulity plugins so that you dont get any issues in it... coz if for any reason Ableton dont like the plugin the daw will crash.. thankx for sharing thow i was looking for a solution for not saving presets in some plugins and thats a pain for me lol...
Fantastic. Happy I came across this. Cheers!
You sir are a saint! I was about to lose it! All the plugins ive used before are for guitars and islts a completely different ball game
ty for this man!
the shortcut method works best
I'm excited to try the shortcut folder technique. Thanks!
As someone who likes to be organised this was super helpful bro
Good timing. I just got my new laptop, and am beginning to transfer everything from my old to my new (:
Superb tutorial!!
thanks for the help :)

Great video! Quick question, whats the difference between VST3 and VST2?
Thank you!
Thank you!
thank you sooooooo much!!!!!!
Thank you
7:00 for those in a hurry
nice , thank U 🙂
can you please do one on antares to install into ableton please, im having such a hard time :( PLEASE
When dragging .dlll files into the correct folder, Ableton is able to scan them all but they still don't show up in the browser? Anything else I can try?
same 4 me... have no idea what to do now
thanks !
Note for people who are trying to map a VST folder to a drive that's on your network and not on your local machine--it doesn't work. Saved the VST folders to a local drive and that worked.
like my documents are in one drive foldern that count as drive ?
When plugins have installs vst2 and vst3. Why install both? Is it possible to install only vst3?
Hey mate, as I said in the video if you use VST3 then only install that. For the demonstration I installed both.
TQ
on final stage, it seems empty and ableton stops working after click (ableton live 11, windows) any solutions?
This video and its instructions were excellent! However, they do not match the current user experience a year later. I spent quite a lot of time re-reading instructions and trying things in case I missed something, but there is no DLL available. I wish that I had never bought this product. Software often seems to have one issue or another.
How do i get custom installation? it only gives me option for 1 location only
why in my UI doesnt create a folder in plugin section in ableton, its just a vsts now not VST3 folder.
I followed all of this but still nothing shows up in my plug-ins folder :(
why i can't find "vst" when i go in plugins ? i only have vst3 ! please helps me lol i did everything even putting the folder into an extern storage, casue one drive is annnoying for vst. so idk why i can't find it
I tired this with vital, but for the LIFE of me I cannot get this to work with serum? Can someone PLEASE help
I get no installer thing when I download my vst. All I get is folder with no installer. Can somebody help me?
Hi sir, I loved your content and it's good and it could even be great with improvement in editing and pacing. I can help you in that and I have planned something for you that will skyrocket your channel growth. If you do not mind I would love to share my portfolio
Nice thumbnail
I want to know what makes Ableton so dumb that it does not recheck the list upon launch like every other daw
video starts at 7:00
Why sometime he sounds like he's about to cry... (jk)
so complicated, FL STUDIO forever
i cant believe you took 13 min to explain someting so simple lol
It's not actually simple to a lot of people.
You have to consider some may have no prior experience with computers and need to be shown step by step.
Thanks for watching.
I needed all 13 minutes. This is the true definition of step by step.
@@CollectiveIntelligenceMusicthat's the reason I am watching. It's not always so obvious.
Can I make These 2 folder in also D drive or E drive
@@CollectiveIntelligenceMusic just getting started on ableton live lite, im trying to learn vst's/plugins, but still not sure where to start. I have my VST 2 & VST 3 folders ready to go, but i dont have any plugins or vsts showing up anywhere. I downloaded the core library and a couple other of the free downloads, but not sure where to download vst/plugins in order to put into those folders. thanks!

I never knew zelenski did tutorials.
COMO CHINGADOS SE PONE MUSICAS AL LAUNCHPAD¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
TO MUCH TALKING MAN
13 minutes in what could be said in 1.... fkin internet and its content creating....
If it was so straightforward why did you have to watch a video to figure it out genius?
THANK YOU!

Thank you a lot!
