The bundled Sonitus suite DX plug-ins. The ones you see in CbB should be the ones installed with CbB in the 'C: Program Files Cakewalk Shared Plugins' folder. Clicking on the plug-ins in the Plug-in Manager will display its location at the bottom of the Plug-in Manager display. VST plugins have default locations depending on Mac or PC. It is also possible to install plugins to multiple or a different path than the default. Knowing this here are the some default locations: Windows. C:/Program Files/VstPlugins/ (for 64-bit plugins) C:/Program Files (x86)/VstPlugins/ (for 32-bit plugins) Mac.

Formats definition of a VST 3 plug-in and its preset and where they are located on different platforms.

For the macOS platform

On the macOS platform, VST 3 plug-in is a standard macOS bundle, its file extension is '.vst3' and has the following folder structure:

For the Windows platform

On the Windows platform a VST 3 plug-in is organized as a bundle like package format (simple folder), its file extension is '.vst3' and has the following folder structure:

In previous SDKs the VST 3 plug-in was defined as a single dll file with the vst3 extension. This is deprecated since VST 3.6.10.

The file desktop.ini should contain:

and you should then change their attributes with this command line (s for system to make sure that Windows will use it for the folder/bundle, r for read-only and h for hidden (optional)):

For the Linux platform

On Linux, a VST 3 plug-in is organized as a bundle like package format, its file extension is '.vst3', it follows this folder structure:

Snapshots

Since VST 3.6.10, a VST3 bundle can contain pre-rendered snapshot images for a VST3 host as a visual representation of the plug-in UI. Free vst 64 bit.
This snapshot must have a predefined format and file name so that a host can recognize it.

• The image format must be PNG
• The image needs to be located inside the bundle directory in the folder Resources/Snapshots/
• The file name must start with the unique ID of the audio processor printed in the form 84E8DE5F92554F5396FAE4133C935A18 followed by the string _snapshot and optionally followed by the HiDPI scale factor _2.0x and ending with the file extension .png.
  • For example, again's snapshot must be named:
    • 84E8DE5F92554F5396FAE4133C935A18_snapshot.png
    • 84E8DE5F92554F5396FAE4133C935A18_snapshot_2.0x.png for the 2x scaled HiDPI variant.
  • If the HiDPI scale factor is omitted, a scale factor of 1 is used.
    

Merged Bundle

Note that all the bundles can be merged to one, which allows to have a cross-platform bundle/folder.
For example:

Spitfire audio free vst.

A VST 3 plug-in should be installed at specific folder location, the following tables specify these predefined locations for different operating system.
VST 3 does not require a plug-in registration like it is used with DirectX.
Links, Symbolic links or Shortcuts could be used from these predefined folders.

3 levels of folder location are defined:

• User: available only for the current logged user
• Global: available for all users of the system
• Application: available only inside an specific Audio Application (local Plug-ins)
  

For the macOS platform

On the macOS platform, the host application expects VST 3 plug-ins to be located in:

Priority	Location	Path	Comment
1	User	/Users/$USERNAME/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST3/
2	Global	/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST3/
3	Global	/Network/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST3/
4	Application	$APPFOLDER/Contents/VST3/

Note: The host recursively scans these folders at startup in this order (User/Global/Application).

For the Windows platform

On the Windows platform, the host application expects VST 3 plug-ins to be located in:

Priority	Location	Path	Comment
1	Global	/Program Files/Common Files/VST3/	native bitdepth: 32bit plug-in on 32bit OS, 64bit on 64bit OS
1	Global	/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/VST3/	32bit Plug-ins on 64bit Windows
2	Application	$APPFOLDER/VST3/

Note: The host recursively scans these folders at startup in this order (Global/Application).

For Linux platform

On the Linux platform, the host application expects VST 3 plug-ins to be located in:

Priority	Location	Path	Comment
1	User	$HOME/.vst3/
2	Global	/usr/lib/vst3/
3	Global	/usr/local/lib/vst3/
4	Application	$APPFOLDER/vst3/

Note: The host recursively scans these folders at startup in this order (User/Global/Application).

• The file extension has to be '.vstpreset'.
• Specification of a VST 3 Preset file
  
• Check Steinberg::Vst::PresetFile source code which allow to read and write such preset.
  

VST 3 presets are located at predefined folder locations on the computer, depending on the operating system.

• 3 levels of preset scope are defined:
  • User: available only for the current logged user
  • Public: available for all users of the system
  • Apps: available only inside a specific audio application
• 4 types of preset are defined:
  • User: presets created by the user
  • User_Factory: like User type, but more hidden
  • Shared_Factory: factory presets installed by the plug-in installer
  • App_Factory: presets installed by a audio application installer, only visible for this specific audio application
    $COMPANY and $PLUGIN-NAME folder names contain only allowed characters for file naming (replace characters '*?/:<> ' by '_').
    Note: Each path defined below should be scanned in the given priority, presets extracted and added to the preset list.

Hi,
I can't find this problem reported elsewhere ..
Observed behavior :
The 32-bit version of Live 8.3.4 is installed and authorised. The plugins folder is set to:
At this point installing and running Live 8.4b7 for the first time defaults the plugin folder to the same location, which won't work because the folder typically only contains 32-bit plugins.
Expected behavior :

Default Vst Plugin Location Finder

A sensible solution would be to use the folder configured for the 32-bit version, but remove the ' (x86)' part if it exists.
Variables :
n/a
Did you see this error more than once?
This happens every time I restore a partition containing Live 8.3.4 and then update to the current Live 8.4 beta.
Can you reproduce this error on a second computer or on another platform?
See above
Can others reproduce your problem?
Don't know.
