Im very new at the whole making music thing, and learning everything about Live 9.
I was interested in using the 'Massive' plug in I saw a tutorial on.
Ableton Vst Plugin System Folders
The problem I'm having is that none of my plug ins are showing up, but all the instruments show up. I was using Live 9.1 I think, and then read that I should use 32/64 bit accordingly, so I downloaded the trial in both 32/64, none worked. I also tried various other things like uninstalling, reinstalling, deleting files.db etc.
Another thing to note is that when I check the route to my VST folder it says it doesn't have one.
Any help would be appreciated.
Unlike other DAWs (FL Studio at least, which is what I use), Ableton Live allows you to choose only one custom VST plugin folder. This drives a lot of people nuts, especially when moving from another DAW to Ableton.
Fortunately, there is an easy solution- shortcuts! Here’s how to easily point to many VST folders from Live:

- Choose a folder or create one that you will to point to from Live later on. This doesn’t need to contain any plugins. Let it be an empty folder if you please. Let’s call it “Ableton VSTs” for this article.
- Now here’s the important step- create shortcuts of all your VST folders that you want tracked by Live and drop those shortcuts in “Ableton VSTs”. Rename these shortcuts to meaningful names (you’ll find out why ahead).
- Go to Preferences> File Folder and click on the ‘Browse’ button for “VST Plug-in Folder”, and browse and select “Ableton VSTs.

Live will scan all VST folders you have placed shortcuts to in the “Ableton VSTs” folder. Now, when you click on “Plug-ins”, you will notice the shortcut names as folders. Enjoy!
