Download your vst plugin, Then what you want to do is to install the plugin. During the installation process, it’s going to download that vst plugins somewhere, and you want to copy that folder destination. Re: Multiple Plugin Paths Needed for VST2 type VSTs Post by Muze » Wed Jul 23, 2014 5:22 pm Yes, Live is one of the few hosts that can use shortcuts to plugins which is great as you can just create a dedicated custom path for Live and put in the mix of plugins you want it to access.
When you launch Cubase, it will scan any installed VST plug-ins from its default VST plug-in paths. If you installed a plug-in or virtual instrument to a custom folder, however, you first need to add that path within the VST Plug-in Manager for it to be scanned. In the menu bar, click on Options and select Manage Plugins. The FL Studio Plugin Manager appears. Click on the folder symbol (+) to add a Plugin search path. Navigate to the folder containing your Native Instruments plug-ins and press OK.
Figure 618. The VST Settings section.
VST Plugin Settings Auto Detect: Click this button to make REAPER scan your system to detect VST plug-ins. VST plug-in paths: Enter a path here, or click the Add button to browse to the directory that contains your VST plug-ins. Multiple directories may be added to this list.
Select VST plugin paths (Windows only) While paths for VST3 and AAX plugins are predefined, you can install VST2 plugins anywhere you want. But it's highly recommended to keep the defaults. In all cases, you just need to ensure you have the VST plugin path selected in your host, so that the host knows where to find the plugins.
The VST Settings section lets you manage VST effect and instrument plug-ins.
The VST Settings section contains the following settings:
Add. This button opens the Browse for Folder dialog box, which allows you to select a new folder to be scanned.
Remove. To remove a folder from the to-be-scanned list, first select the folder, and then click the Remove button.
Automatic Background Scan. SONAR automatically scans the folders in the VST Scan Paths list in the background by periodically detecting when data in the folders have been updated, or the scan paths have changed.
Scan On Startup. The folders listed in the VST Scan Paths list are searched for new plug-ins whenever you start SONAR. Scanning occurs in the background.
Manual Scan. The folders listed in the VST Scan Paths list are searched for new plug-ins when you click the Scan button.
Rescan Failed Plug-ins. Checking this option causes any plug-in(s) that didn’t scan correctly to be rescanned during the next scan.
Rescan existing plug-ins. Checking this option causes plug-in(s) that did scan correctly to be rescanned during the next scan. This is a way to implement any changes you’ve made to the Folder defaults settings.
Scan. Click this button to immediately scan the folders listed in the VST Scan Paths list.
Reset. Click this button to remove all scanning records and settings from all your VST plug-ins. Use this button if you want to completely start over.
Hide Related VST2 Plug-ins. If you have both VST2 and VST3 versions of a plug-in, you can instruct SONAR to automatically hide any redundant VST2 plug-ins from SONAR’s plug-in menus.
Replace VST2 Plug-ins When Opening Projects. If you have both VST2 and VST3 versions of a plug-in, you can instruct SONAR to automatically upgrade to the VST3 version when loading a project that uses VST2 plug-ins.
There are a few permutations for how VST plug-ins are substituted depending on whether you are loading in SONAR X86 or X64 and the chosen VST2 to VST3 migration flag settings.
Recycle Plug-in Windows. By default, SONAR recycles the currently-open plug-in window when you open a new plug-in UI, and all previously open plug-in windows are closed. This prevents SONAR from being filled with numerous open plug-in windows, and you don’t have to manually close plug-in windows that are no longer needed.
If you prefer to always open a separate window for each plug-in, clear the Recycle Plug-in Windows check box.
If Recycle Plug-in Windows is enabled when you hold down the CTRL key to open a plug-in, all other open plug-in widows also become pinned.
If Recycle Plug-in Windows is disabled when you hold down the CTRL key to open a plug-in, all other open plug-in widows close, and the new plug-in window is unpinned.
You can also pin individual plug-in windows so they remain open when you open another plug-in window. To do so, click the Pin Plug-in Window button on the plug-in property page.

Scan in Sandbox. Scan each plug-in within a private scanner process. While this is slightly slower, it is more robust and prevents plug-ins from corrupting or stopping the scanning process.
