How To Install Plugins on Mac (The Proper Way) Click To Tweet
Hello everyone! I want to give a warm thanks for all the positive feedback I’ve gotten from my previous video titled “Synth1 VST Over 25,000+ Sound Presets!!! *2016*”. Here on this blog, if you’d like you can download the 25,000 presets here. I made this video in response to all the MAC users out there having trouble installing the Synth1 VST on their system. This video tutorial should show you how to install plugins on mac in general but in this case the Synth1 Vst. The process is the same for all other VST installations.
Nov 14, 2018 Need help! I followed the instructions and Ableton shows the Plug-In in “Audio Units” (but not in “VST” or “VST 3”). When I try to open it by double clicking nothing happens and Ableton doesn’t respond anymore. I’m on Mac, OS Catalina.

Jan 30, 2018 Open the Preferences menu in Ableton Live 9 Lite PC: Select Options Preferences or use the key command shortcut - Control + comma Choose the File Folder tab; Under the heading Plug-In Sources: Toggle On the button next to Use VST Plug-In Custom Folder; Note the location under VST Plug-In Custom Folder.
I notice that a lot of MAC users across the net have had numerous issues when it comes to the installation of Vst plugins. Some have complained about presets for various VST’s not showing up, and others have complained about compatibility issues. Always remember that there are 2 folders that you’ll be working with when installing plugins. This is very important when knowing How To Install Plugins on Mac. Those 2 folders will be labeled COMPONENT & VST (as shown below):
ALSO, special thanks to Youtube User: “LukeVonDukeSP” for an easy alternative method for installation as quoted!:
“Also. Another way to install the Presets, Click OPT on the bottom and CLick Browse… ExtBank folder(Zip) and select the folder where u downloaded the Preset Packs. I found it to be easier especially since I did not install it into VST Plugins Folder. Thank u again for the presets!”
Hope you found this guide helpful! Thanks for reading.

Am having trouble with VST. I read an article about the 5 best vsts out there (http://abletonlife.com/top-5-free-vst-p ... ac-edition). I'm a rookie so just wanted to try one out. I currently have Ableton Live, not Ableton suite and I'm using a mac.
So I chose one from the article. http://www.lowcoders.fr/downloadRelease.php?name=KD.dmg - note this is an automatic download page.
I download the file and go through all the motions (installing, agreeing to terms, saving on my hard drive etc)
Ableton Vst Install Mac Os
This vst is now saved in my: library/audio/plug-ins/componentsAbleton Vst Install Mac Version
The file is called kingdubby.component
When I go back to Live I open up my preferences and go to the tab filefolder - plug-in sources and under this turn on the 'use vst plug-in custom folder' and browse to specify the folder (library/audio/plug-ins/components), I then rescan and click on the plug-in device browser symbol. Sadly kingdubby.component is not there.
