Find Vst Folder

With the growing popularity of the Production Vault and a few people asking me about adding VSTi’s and VST Effects to FLStudio ( FL Studio was also formerly known as Fruity Loops), I figured, why not put a tutorial up?

Usually it asks the location of your VSTplugin folder. Next, open the FL Studio and go to Options - File Settings (or press F10) and under the ‘VST plugins extra search folder’, define your default VSTplugin folder (if you haven’t done so already). You only need to do. Set C:VST as the VST search directory. Open up Fruity Loops and select File Settings from the Options Menu. Near the bottom of the window there is a section named VST plugins extra search folder. Set this to C:VST or whatever the folder you created for your VST plugins was called. 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. The folder containing your NI Plug-ins is now listed under the Plugin search paths. Today we are going to be taking an in-depth look at the best FL Studio plugins currently being used in music production. These options are going to include free options and paid options for Fl Studio. FL Studio is currently one of the most popular DAWS for music producers to use and it is only gaining steam. Plugin search paths - Formerly called VST extra search folders, sets the default VST search locations. You can add extra search paths to custom locations of VST 1 or 2 format plugins.

BY THE WAY: All figures can be enlarged by clicking on them so you can see them in full view.

So for the first go around, we’re going to show you how to add a simple DLL based VSTi. To clarify, a DLL based VSTi is as self-explanatory as it sounds like. It’s a VSTi in the form of a .dll file. For example, reFX’s Vanguard is one file, Vanguard.dll.

Now for some Windows users, you may not see the .dll at the end, because your settings may not show them. There are ways to set it so you can see it, but that’s beyond the scope of this tutorial. In any case, if the icon of the file is similar to what you see in the figure below, then it’s more than likely a .dll.

First thing you’ll need to do after extracting the file from .RAR file (http://www.rarlabs.com/download.htm if you need it. =]) is check where FL is looking for it’s VST’s. I believe the default is C:Program FilesVstPlugins, but just to be sure, we can check FL’s file settings to find out the correct folder.

So let’s start the show! /nomad-factory-vst-plugins.html.
