Can't Find 64 Bit Vst Plugins

admin

32-bit plug-ins on 64-bit Windows: C: Program Files (x86) Common Files VST2. Any other folder your VST host application is scanning during startup by default is also suitable. But, to keep plug-in installations independent from a specific VST host release, never install plug-ins into the program folder of the VST host application or any other.

ARCADE only works in 64-bit mode at the moment. Please make sure you're using the 64-bit version of your DAW as this is the one that our plugins are optimized for.

The following systems aren’t currently compatible with Arcade:

  • Cubase 8 (32-bit) (PC: VST, VST3).
  • Pro Tools 10
  • Ableton Live 9 (32-bit)
  • Logic Express (32-bit)
  • AKAI Hardware
  • iOS (iPad and/or iPhone)
  • Chromebook
  • Magix Music Maker
  • Mixcraft 7 (32-bit)

If you're running a 64-bit DAW, try re-scanning your plugins inside your DAW and see if you can locate ARCADE.

Ableton Live 9: (Mac and PC)

ARCADE doesn't support 32-bit systems on MacOS + PC, and it's likely the reason that you can't see ARCADE in Live 9.

Please try scanning your plugins and also make sure you're running a 64-bit version of Ableton Live, which may require an update. To determine if you're running a 64-bit application you can use the following steps:
