It is possible that the plug-in has not been scanned after its installation. To force a re-scan of the available plug-ins in Ableton Live, do the following: 1- Locate the plug-in file (the .vst or .component file on Mac or the .dll file on Windows) and take note of the path of the folder where it is contained on your disk. 2- Launch Ableton Live 3 (Mac) – choose “Preferences” from the “Live” menu. 3 (PC) – choose “Preferences” from the “Options” menu. 4- Click the “File Folder” tab on the left 5- Make sure that the “Use VST Plug-in Custom Folder” button is “On”. Click it to toggle it if it’s off.
