I thought this was an old(er) format and everything (or at least most) plugins would be vst3 now, but apparently this is not the case? I honestly have now clue if I have a lot of vst2 plugins. Never put the brand/supplier before the 64bit. I recommend putting vst2s into c:/program files/VSTs/64bit/ Then point your daw/host to the 64bit folder. But in Native Access I don't see a specific path for VST3, so I don't even know how to change it. So I want to setup everything properly now. I'm having this situation on my old PC now, I have a second new PC now. I indeed thought that vst 64bit was for VST3, but if not where do the NI VST3 plugins end up in? I would recommend to try and learn to live without cause urgh they tend to eat CPU. Then point your daw/host to the 64bit folder.ĭo not put the brand/supplier before the 64bit, as you want to go biggest collection to smallest - so for instance each folder is a colleciton of all VST2s, then all 64bit, then all Native Instruments, etcĪnd if you ever have any 32bit VST2s only, well. I recommend putting vst2s into C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST2\64\ (Edited this for consistency across answers) I suspect some idiot supplier will ignore this, but complain at them to get the point of standard approaches. Never under any circumstance change the default for vst3 or you will bring the wrath of 1000s of lost hours of musicians scratching their heads going "what the hell you stupid supplier why did you install it there?" Vst3 has an agreed path. Native Access does not allow you to set the VST3 folder location. It's not very explicit but VST2s were the standard for about 15 years. In Native Access the VST 32 location and VST 64 location are for VST2s.
