Windows 3rd Part VST's not found (Soundtoys,FabFilter etc...)

[icu81b4]

1st. Thanks for providing LUNA for Windows.

2nd. How does LUNA search for 3rd Party VSTs?

I've downloaded and opened a Demo track (Mission - Moon Taxi) and although I have some of the plug-ins listed in the project - LUNA doesn't find them.

I should add that I have RUN UAConnect as Admin.

LUNA Sessions were made with Audio Units and therefore it's expected that the plugins won't load.

You can delete this file and LUNA will rescan.

C:\Users\YourUserFolder\AppData\Local\Universal Audio\Plug-Ins.vst3.json

Well That was a very speedy reply - Thanks Drew.

So I did deleted that file, Quit the UA Connect and Luna App, - Restarted and I could watch as LUNA scanned a load of my plugins - but still managed to miss the FabFilter and Soundtoys stuff. (and possibly others)

In the DAW I usually use I can specify where to look to find the plug-ins

C:\Program Files\VstPlugins\Soundtoys

I noticed It did recreate the file you asked me to delete.

Ah .... I misunderstood - because I don't know what 'Audio Units' mean

Question? What do 'Audio Units' mean?

I was merely looking at the errors when loading, Once I tried to insert my Soundtoys plug-in into the project. it works...

So apologies a lack of knowledge about 'Audio Units' on my part.

Audio Units is a Mac only plugin format.

C:\Program Files\VstPlugins\Soundtoys

that is the path where VST2 plugins are installed but not VST3

please check your vst3 directory which is by default:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3

and have a look whats in there, you should see fabfilter there as well, if not, please reinstall your fabfilter plugins and check VST3 plugin format during installation
