How To Install Plugins on Mac (The Proper Way) Click To Tweet
Hello everyone! I want to give a warm thanks for all the positive feedback I’ve gotten from my previous video titled “Synth1 VST Over 25,000+ Sound Presets!!! *2016*”. Here on this blog, if you’d like you can download the 25,000 presets here. I made this video in response to all the MAC users out there having trouble installing the Synth1 VST on their system. This video tutorial should show you how to install plugins on mac in general but in this case the Synth1 Vst. The process is the same for all other VST installations.
I notice that a lot of MAC users across the net have had numerous issues when it comes to the installation of Vst plugins. Some have complained about presets for various VST’s not showing up, and others have complained about compatibility issues. Always remember that there are 2 folders that you’ll be working with when installing plugins. This is very important when knowing How To Install Plugins on Mac. Those 2 folders will be labeled COMPONENT & VST (as shown below):
- Download and install the very latest, official release of the affected plug-in from the manufacturer's website. Make sure that the plug-in is macOS Catalina compliant where possible. As this issue primarily affects VST plug-ins, you could switch to the AU version instead. Otherwise, remove the affected plug-ins from your plug-in folder.
- For beginners and seasoned users alike, Ableton User Groups are open to any Live user who wants to share their knowledge and learn from others in person. Find a User Group near you. Learn finger drumming. Practice your finger drumming skills with Melodics, a standalone app that offers a great way to learn and refine your playing.
- Mac: Macintosh HD Library Audio Plugins VST; If you're using a custom VST folder you need to locate the WaveShell file and move it to your custom VST folder. Then re-launch Live if it's already running. This will scan the Waveshell and activate all available Waves plug-ins in the browser.

Very new to ableton also, been at it for not even a month - just keep posting, watching tutorials, and youtube videos and youll get it. It all starts making sense after a few weeks of putting in hours.
ALSO, special thanks to Youtube User: “LukeVonDukeSP” for an easy alternative method for installation as quoted!:

“Also. Another way to install the Presets, Click OPT on the bottom and CLick Browse… ExtBank folder(Zip) and select the folder where u downloaded the Preset Packs. I found it to be easier especially since I did not install it into VST Plugins Folder. Thank u again for the presets!”
