Where Is Ableton Vst Folder Mac
Activate the button Use VST Plug-In Custom Folder. Note: If it is the first time you activate this button and no VST Plug-in custom folder has previously been defined, Ableton will immediately ask you to browse for your VST Plug-in folder, as explained below in point 4. However, on Apple systems there is a defined plug-in folder within the system's folder structure since the first version of Mac OS X. All VST plug-in installers for Mac are using these folders: The 'Plug-ins' directories contain both a VST and a VST3 folder as well as folders for other plug-in formats.
Activate either the Custom folder or System folder (VST 3 only) as required. Note: only add discrete folders which contain VST plug-ins. Adding entire drives or system folders may crash Live. Make sure that the folder contains only VST.dll files. Other system files can use the.dll extension too, but they may crash Live if included in the.

All the plugs are there but not in Live. Furthermore, I'm a bit confused between the VST folder I mentioned above and the one found in the User's Home directory (ie: from the finder--> 'your name'/library/audio/plugins/vst/..)
Ableton Vst Plug-ins
When looking into the VST plugin browser in Live, under the actual VST folder there is a sub-folder called 'local' and another called 'user', yet both of them contain VST plugs. All I want is to understand the difference between these different VST locations and why some plugins dont' show up at all in Live when they're clearly there in one of these folders (I did try changing their location but in vain).
