Make the DAW rescan
- Logic Pro: Logic Pro > Settings > Plug-in Manager > Reset & Rescan Selection. Logic only loads AU.
- Ableton Live: Settings > Plug-Ins > turn Use VST3 Plug-In System Folders on, then Rescan.
- Pro Tools: scans AAX on launch. Quit Pro Tools, run the installer, start Pro Tools again; if it is still missing, check the AAX folder above.
- Cubase / Nuendo: Studio > VST Plug-in Manager > Rescan All.
- Reaper: Options > Preferences > Plug-ins > VST > Re-scan.
- FL Studio: Options > Manage plugins > Find more plugins.
- Studio One: Options > Locations > VST Plug-ins > Reset Blocklist, then rescan.
Still missing?
Check the DAW is looking at the folder above (some DAWs keep a custom list). Check you installed the right architecture: Apple silicon Macs need a DAW running natively or under Rosetta consistently with the plugin. Then email dsp@raytownproductions.com with your DAW, its version, and your operating system.
