If you're running Live 32bit, maybe the " C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTPlugins" folder is actually empty (with no *.dll files or sub-folders with *.dll's). If you're running Live 64bit, the correct folder would be " C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins", if that folder contains *.dll's files (or sub-folders with those *.dll's) At the end of that line it should say 32-bit or 64-bit To check that, in Live, go to Help, About Live. Ok, first you need to be sure what type of Ableton Live version you're using: 32bit or 64bit? Sorry for the delay (too much stuff to focus on!) Hope this helps and that it works for you Then it should be like I described in the beginning of this post, once the scanning stops. If the "Use VST Plug-In Custom Folder" is "Off" click it to turn it "On" and wait for the auto-scan that'll happen.

If nothing happens after setting the new VST path, try clicking "Rescan" after finding out where are your VST installed and knowing which Ableton Live flavour are you running (64bit or 32bit) then you can go to Live's Options, Preferences, File Folder side-tab and in the Plug-in Sources section, click the "Browse" button in the "VST Plug-In Custom Folder" and navigate through the file-system until you get to the folder where your VSTs (sub-folders) are installed (keep in mind the 64bit/32bit thing, where Live 32bit will only work with 32bit VSTs). Personally, I use a custom folder path for VSTs, so I have to type it on each new plug-in installation (fortunately, when updating, Arturia's installers remember the previous paths, which makes the process less tiresome/troublesome for those with non-default folder paths). (for the 32bit VSTs, if you still use Ableton Live 32bit) (when you're on Windows 64bit but use Ableton Live 32bit, the "x86" or "32bit" folders hold the 32bit VSTs usable with Ableton Live 32bit)Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Steinberg\VSTPlugins\ On Windows, these are the default paths installers usually suggest to use: On a Mac, apparently, this is how and where If you simply clicked Next/OK on the installation, the folder paths should be the default ones, so you need to point Ableton to them. So you installed Analog Lab on a Mac or Windows PC?ĭid you see in what path the VSTs (the plug-in. If the Analog Lab name shows up in the left-side Plug-In Devices browser (you have to click the little Plug icon on the left tab list), then you're set.

Try on Ableton Live's Options, Preferences, File Folder side-tab and in the Plug-in Sources section, click the "Rescan" button and wait a little bit. First, you can try the quickest easiest way.
