Hey there Amner
great and pretty forward post as usual, just one small issue, guess you should have been more specific about Steinberg directories and folders (those old fashion)-otherwise, two thumbs up my friend, keep up and I'll wait for your next vid, all the best to you.

My friend Amner Hunter
Thanks for the nice and easy explanation
I have a question if possible
I own a Lava 2023 filter file
It contains 4 files: VST3 / VST2 / AAX / !COMMON
I have a problem installing these files
Do you have an explanation on installing these files?
I will be thankful to you, my dear
Please reply
My affection ..
