VST plugins - How to install & find them!

VST plugins - How to install & find them!

How do you install VST plugins & instruments to your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) and where do you find them? It's really not that complicated but still a question I get quite often. So I decided to make this video, hopefully that will be helpful for those who just don't know how to...

I should make a note that I am using Reaper as DAW, so while Reaper of course is being used in this tutorial, I'd say the things I talk about here is applicable for a majority of DAW's, be it ProTools, Cubase, Cakewalk etc.

Things are adressed in this video: installing DAW and releated software across multiple hard drives, where to place your plugins and instruments, how to make sure that your DAW finds the installed software and how to add it to a track... and some more! The video actually came out a bit longer than I had anticipated but, well, I hope there's no waste of time despite that fact.

Also, sorry for the loss of sound with the Reverb SOLO plugin, but it doesn't really disrupt the video...

I have pretty much been just using my Kemper (of late) but have every amp sim known to mankind loaded on my PC. Break them out now and then for something different. Some good tips here!

At 7:50 do the plugins always look like that, with the add/remove bar on the left? How do I make them fullscreen?

Thank you Magnus. Very informative. But taking a step back. There’s is limited knowledge, in my country, of the ideal system build to run reaper and the many plugins. My system processor is an Intel i3 Core, which is not compatible with most applications. To upgrade to an i7 with new motherboard and 16GB RAM costs 2 months salary. Any tips on system build would be great.
