Hi this is the guide on how to use VST Plugins in Ableton Live. Enjoy:)
How to use VST Plugins in Ableton Live. VST plugins allow you to have unlimited variety in your sonic palette. They are little computer programs that run inside of a bigger music program like Cubase, Protools, or Ableton Live. These tiny programs can make a dramatic improvement on the quality of your sound.
There are two types of VST programs: VST instruments (a.k.a. VSTi) and VST effects. VST instruments produce sounds and VST effects change sounds. A synthesizer is a common example of a VST instrument. A reverb is a common VST effect.
Finding Your VST Plug-Ins
Ableton Live comes with lots of built-in instruments and effects. Both the Impulse drum machine and Ping-Pong Delay come bundled with Live. However, these instruments and effects are not VST plugins. Live has a special section exclusively for VST instruments and effects. To see this section, click on the circle button that has a plug inside of it. You now see a listing of Plug-In Devices. (See the screenshot below.)
Adding VST Effects to Tracks
You can add VST Effects to any track in Live. Listed below are two different ways to add an effect to a track in Live.
1. Click on a VST effect in the Plug-In Devices menu and drag it anywhere in a track.
2. Click on a track to select it. A track will be highlighted when it is selected. Then double-click on a VST effect in the Plug-In Devices menu.
