There Is No Vst Plugin Folder In Studio One Piece

Note: all plugins are MacOS X and Windows 64-bit compatible and free!

MacOS users: From within Studio One, n avigate to Preferences Options Locations, and select the VST Plug-ins tab. On Mac OS, when you install the plug-in, the VST will automatically install to Users username Library Audio Plug-ins VST. If you set a custom location, make sure to add it to the VST Plug-ins list in Studio One. John, It was a bit issue of Cubase LE 5 is 32 bit and I was trying to use 64 bit VST Plugins. When I went to old laptop(32bit) it all still worked with Pro Tools Express. I am upgrading to Cubase 7.7 Artist at 64bit and will install all my toontrack plugins at 64 bit as well. Click 'File,' 'Options,' 'Locations' and 'VST Plugins.' Then click the 'Add' button. Browse for the location of the folder containing the VST instrument or effect you just installed, then click 'OK.' Studio One will then scan the folder location for VST plugins, adding it to its database.

FL is highly unpredictable when it comes to blocksize handling. All our plugins highly depend on a static blocksize due to the high amount of complexity of the calculations.
We encountered a similar issue lately and found the following workaround in FL12:
frei:raum ist actually also VST3 – it’s simply not copied to the respective folder
– pick the VST freiraum.dll (probably from C:Program FilesSteinbergVSTPlugins) and MOVE it to C:Program FilesCommon FilesVST3
– rename it to freiraum.vst3
– open FL and load an instance of frei:raum – the user interface will open (please do NOT start playback)
– click the ‘Settings’ icon in the top-left corner
– switch to the ‘Processing’ tab
– tick the “Used fixed size buffer” checkbox
– audio should start to flow now
Please also make sure that the overall buffersize is at least 1024 samples!
Further, there’s also a fix from Image-Line taken from their their forum:

1. Open FL Studio.
2. Refer to the ‘Plugin Database > Effects’ folder of your FL Studio Browser.
3. Locate and delete any freiraum entries saved in this location by right-clicking the entry and selecting ‘Delete file…’. If you don’t have a favorite entry for freiraum you can proceed.
4. Download, extract, and launch the attached freiraum.reg file. (http://downloads01.sonible.com/download.php?file=misc/freiraum-FL12-fix.zip)
5. Accept any prompts regarding applying the registry key and values.
6. Restart FL Studio once the keys and values are applied.
7. Navigate to ‘Plugin Database > Installed > Effects > VST’ and load the freiraum plugin entry from this location. Test the plugin.
For those concerned about what the registry file does, it adds a key for ‘freiraum’ under ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREImage-LineSharedPluginsFruity WrapperPluginsVST’ with some predefined Wrapper Settings for the plugin, in particular ‘Use fixed size buffers’ is enabled.
