It’s good practice to organise your plugins – well it is for me.
VST, AudioUnit, AAX and Standalone. Available in the two most popular plugin formats, as well as AAX for Pro Tools and a standalone application. Multi-out is supported with one stereo channel per pad for all plugin. Install your favorite audio software on your computer. You can use anything from a full suite like. Fire up Sonar, Sonar will automatically scan your vst folder for you. Reaper should do the same. Fini If you’re not sure how to use VSTs then the following articles may be of some help, Midi and Vst Instrument Setup(sonar) How to add Vst Instrument(sonar) Setting Up A Drum VSTi Reaper Install VST – Reaper Reaper – VST fx setup – Insert.
You can always filter and search for a plugin, but sometimes the amount of plugins you have can mean that you overlook certain plugins that are within your arsenal.
So let’s get organised.
First you’ll need Reaper up and running.
Next add a track and click on the ‘FX’ button.
Click ‘Add’
This will open up the Reaper FX browser.
Scroll down to ‘My Folders’.
Using the right click on your mouse you can create your own folder.
As you can see I already have some folders created.
Let’s create a new one.
The new folder will now be ready for plugins.
You can also organise these folders by moving them up and down, to the top or to the bottom.
Once you have your new folder you can start to add your plugins.
You can search for plugins either by the browser or if you know it’s name or a search word then you can use the filter feature.
Before we start we need to move out of ‘My Folders’ to the top of the folder list to ‘All Plugins’
Underneath you can see there are plugins for VST, VSTi, AU, AUI, Js etc.
If you know specifically the type of plugin then you could probably go into the that folder.
As you can see from the screen shot, in the ‘Filter List’ I have typed ‘had’ and this has brought up all my UAD plugins.
I’m looking for a specific plugin called the CS-1.
Use the right click on your mouse, this will bring up and option to ‘Add to’ and then you have a choice of your plugin folders.
As this particular plugin is a chorus effect I’m going to add it to my newly created, ‘Modulation’ folder.
Once done we can check that it has moved over successfully. Go to the ‘Modulation folder.
Hopefully all being we’ll you should now see the plugin in that folder.
Ah, did you see, I forgot to clear my ‘filter list’ – not that it matters but hey t’s something that you need to be careful of.
You cannot make sub folders – which is a shame but not the end of the world.
And there it is.
This tutorial will teach you how to install a VST plugin for different audio recording and music notation software. VST is a very useful feature that extends the audio processing functionality of existing software. For example Notion 3 does not include an EQ in its mixer by default; but Notion 3 allows VST plugins. So you can simply install and add EQ to Notion 3 mixer using a VST plugin. Another example is that Audacity does not include a parametric equalizer by default.
But since Audacity allows VST plugins, you can add a parametric equalizer using third party plugins. This tutorial is illustrated using Windows 7 and Windows XP although concepts and principles can be applied to other OS versions. VST plug-in offers additional sets of effects which are not otherwise included in the default Adobe Audition list of effects as well as other DAW like REAPER.
Installation Procedure of VST in Adobe Audition
Step1: Searching for free VST plug-in. – in this case, you may want to visit KVR Audio and search for available VST plug-ins. Follow the rest of the procedure until you will be able to download the VST exe file which will act as the installer.

This is the sample download page of the VST plug-in: Aodix v4 plug-ins
Step2: Double check the integrity of your file. Some VST plug-in developers includes an MD5 hash to their software. So after downloading, you need to double check the MD5 hash to make sure it matches with the provided by the developer. You can read this tutorial on checking the file integrity using MD5 checksum. The MD5 checksum method can be applied to any downloadable assets such as WAV or MP3 files.
Why do you need to bother checking the MD5 checksum?
a.) If the original authors/developers provide a checksum; you will always ensure that the file you have downloaded is not corrupted or altered intentionally by other parties (if your checksum results matches with the one provided).
b.) Downloading files from the Internet can easily become corrupted or injected with other codes not included with the original installer.
Another big issue that you need to deal with is to ensure that it does contain any viruses or malware. You can upload the exe file here to be checked by the scanners.
Step3: Once it is clean, double click the installer to start the installation process. It is suggested to close all open programs to avoid conflict during installation.
You might see a warning before continuing the installation such as this:
VST plugin in Adobe Audition
It says that your system (audio interface and digital audio workstation/multi-editor/recorder) should support ASIO. These are low latency audio drivers that is very different from the one used and installed by Windows in default. Windows is using WDM; however if you are using professional audio interface; they have ASIO drivers on it. For more details about ASIO and WDM audio drivers, you can read this article on ASIO vs. WDM. If you are using older versions of Adobe Audition such as the 1.5 version, it does not support ASIO. Read for more information here: Will Adobe Audition 1.5 or 3.0 record a Firewire audio interface.
You should pay attention to some warnings to make sure the VST plug-in will work without problems. Example of these warnings are common when the VST plug-in is not freeware. In this case, it requires license key or authorization code during the installation.
If you encounter this problem, read the tutorial section on the installation of proprietary VST plug-ins.
Step4: Launch Adobe Audition – go to Effects – Add/Remove VST Directory. Navigate to the folder where the VST plug-in has been installed. If you find many folders under the plug-in, make sure to select the general path, example: C:Program FilesAodix.
Based on the screenshot above, Adobe Audition will automatically scan the sub-directories under the main folder for VST plug-in related files.
Step5: Once added, go to Effects – and click “Refresh Effects Lists”. The VST plug-in should then be added to Adobe Audition.
This is just one example, there are countless of VST plug-ins available in the internet for downloading. I also recommend the plug-in reviews before proceeding with the installation to determine if it is great or not.
The good thing is that Adobe Audition support both VST and DirectX plug-in. So it is your choice what type of plug-ins you need to install. Although most of my Adobe Audition plug-in is DirectX based, I am still using Steinberg VST plug-ins.
If you are using DirectX plug-ins, you can refer to the following tutorial below for the installation steps:
General Procedure of installing VST plugin in Windows operating system
Step1.) Make sure you have an installer (.exe file) of the VST plugin you need to install. There are lots of VST plugins available, some a free and some requires you to have a license. For illustration purposes, supposing you need a free and complete VST plugin that already includes the following important effects: parametric EQ, compressor, etc. In addition to the one provided in the previous section; another great free VST plugin that will run in Windows is the Reaper VST audio plugins. Download the installer here.
Step2.) After downloading the installer, double click the exe file to install it to your Windows 7 OS. Make sure to select all effect plugins during installation.
Step3.) Confirm that you have properly installed the Reaper VST plugin. Go to your C:Program Files, you should see a directory named as “VSTPlugins”. If you visit that folder, you should see the “ReaPlugs” folder with the following contents:

As you can see after installation, the actual VST plugin that is very important are those with .dll extension. For example this dll file: reaeq-standalone.dll is the actual ReaEQ plugin. And also reacomp-standalone.dll is the application extension of ReaComp Compressor. Take note that these programs are standalone so it can be move to other directories and would still work.
Add/Enable VST Plugin to Notion 3
Now you have successfully installed the VST dll plugin files, it is time to integrate it with your recording or music notation software. Let’s start with Notion 3:
Step1.) Launch Notion 3 music notation software.

Step2.) Open any existing Notion 3 project that you are working which you would like to apply VST effects
Step3.) Click “Mixer” in the Notion 3 menu.
Step4.) You should see different tracks in the mixer representing different instruments in your project. Take note that this mixer works exactly like a real mixing console. To connect an EQ to a mixer, you should be using Inserts.
In Notion 3, each track or channel allows you up to 4 effects to be added as “Insert”. Click “Insert” on any tracks or channel. Start with the top most insert of the channel.

Step5.) After clicking on it, it will show two options in the dropdown: “None” and “VST Manager”. Currently “None” is checked since Notion 3 is not yet configured to use any VST plugins, so you need to check “VST Manager”. You will then see all the VST effect plugins automatically discovered by Notion 3 based on installed VST plugins in Windows 7.

Step6.) You will then need to click “Enable” for example the ReaEQ parametric equalizer (ReaEQ-standalone) to use it and then click “close”.
