Like I said, the applications got all of this from the Windows Registry. Because you never had to deal with managing scan locations with DirectX Plug-ins, this was never an issue. A few applications still use them (Sound Forge Pro, Vegas Pro, Cakewalk by BandLab (Sonitus FX)). They were installed to the relevant application directory and then registered in the Windows Registry, so any application on the system could use them. Weren’t DirectX plug-ins the AU of Windows? Those basically are dead, these days (replaced by VST). This really has nothing to do with Microsoft.

I don’t like all this mess, but I guess I don’t have a choice…

“Steinberg” folder (which contains the folders: CrashDumps, Cubase, FX Chain Presets, Groove Agent SE, Strip Presets).

So as I understand it, basically the VST3 folder is the main folder that contains all the vst3 files of the plugins.Īs for the “Documents” folder - I have many plugins’ folders their, not just one or two, but it’s not just of plugins: Steinberg (Cubase) has also 2 folders their: All these directories are being used as per the Microsoft Windows guidelines and there is nothing unusual about this Thank you so much! I would strongly recommend that unless you really know what you are doing, you do not move files around, as you are likely to break something if you do. So yes, you do need all those directories, perhaps with the exception of C:\Documents which is a bit of an unknown.

Some manufacturers will create a subdirectory underneath C:\Program Files\Common Files for their shared code and that is perfectly normal, as per your examples above. The actual VST3 plugins themselves are stored specifically in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 as that is what the VST3 spec (and the Microsoft Windows guidelines) specify as the required location. Typically you might find standalone versions of plugins and support libraries in there.Įxceptionally, C:\Program Files\Common Files is for executable code that is shared between multiple applications, such as VST3 plugins.

Yes, on Windows it is normal to have those files in those locations, with the exception of C:\Documents which is not a standard Windows directory so you’ll have to ask the manufacturer of whatever software puts stuff in there why those files are there.Ĭ:\Program Files (64-bit) or C:\Program Files (x86) (32-bit) are for executable programs that are not shared between applications. But now, when it’s subscription-based - will I be able to reinstall? will the vendor recognize that I’m installing the plugin to the same computer?)

(I’m used to the old way, when the purchase wasn’t subscription-based, so I could just uninstall a plugin, and then install it again right from the folder/disc. Why do I have these folders there if I also have them in C:\Program Files?Ĭ:\Program Files\Common Files\AVID\Audio\Plug-Ins -Īgain, I have folders of: Addictive Drums, Kontakt, Melodyne, Pianoteq…ĭo I need this for using these plugins in Cubase? Why do I have it there? (not to mention this location is so not comfortable for this, as I want this location to be used for my personal files).Ĭ:\Program Files\Common Files\Native Instruments Why do I have it twice? ( C:\Program Files + C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3)Īgain, I have files of the plugins I have in C:\Program Files (that mentioned above). I have files of the plugins I have in C:\Program Files (that mentioned above). I have folders for every plugin: Celemony (Melodyne), Modartt (Pianoteq), Native Instruments (Kontakt), Spitfire, XLN and more… I have so many folders of plugins, it seems like everything is duplicated to multiple locations: I got a new pc, and though I tried to install everything in an organized way, it came out a bit of a mess…
