Ableton VST problem
Ableton VST problem Posted on: 06.11.2011 by Boyce Engbrecht Just installed ableton on my new mac and installed a handful of pspaudioware plugins simply by double clicking and installing to macintosh hd. The plugins work fine in ableton but i want to delete a couple. When i go to my VST folder (library>audio>plugins>VST) i can't find any of the files! The folder is empty. Any suggestions on how to find them? I've tried spotlight but no luck at all! | |

| Ricky Vansaders 30.11.2011 | I am having this same problem, but I am not running Lion. I did an alt-command re-scan in ableton, and all of a sudden they are no longer in the VST folder, but i can use them all. literally 10 seconds before i did the total rescan they were located in Library>Audio>Plugins>VST no idea what's going on here, help please! |
| Boyce Engbrecht 08.11.2011 | Perfect! Thanks a lot for that. Was starting to drive me insane! |
| Monserrate Rupnow 07.11.2011 | You actually have two libraries on OSX, a user one, and a system one, though in Lion the system one is hidden by default. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7...my-library-go/ So therefore you have two plug in folders too. Use the above to find the other one. |
| Boyce Engbrecht 07.11.2011 | Definitely that folder. In order to uninstall it i have to drag the vst to trash. It's not so much the uninstalling but also organising the plugins into folders. The custom vst folder, that i made in order to drag vsts into, displays them fine but the system vst folder, to which the psp plugins install via default, is empty. It's like the vsts aren't on my mac at all but i can use them in ableton! Strange |
| Kayce Mesia 07.11.2011 | Do Macs not have a dedicated place for uninstalling/repairing programs? |
| Tatum Untiedt 07.11.2011 | This one might be a no brainer, but go and make sure that Ableton is getting its VST's from that actual folder in the first place. |
