How To Fix Plugin Not Showing up in DAW!

If you’ve installed your plugin but it’s not appearing in your DAW’s plugin list, try these troubleshooting steps:

1. Check the Plugin Manager in Your DAW

• Logic Pro:
  
  • Go to Logic Pro > Preferences > Plug-in Manager.
  • Look for “Gospel Producers” or your plugin’s name in the list.
  • If it’s missing, unchecked, or not verified, this may indicate an issue with installation or authorization.
  • Try checking the “Use” box, and if it’s not verified or appears corrupted, reinstall the plugin.
• Other DAWs (e.g., Studio One, Pro Tools):
  
  • Each DAW has its own plugin manager or preferences menu. Make sure your plugin appears and is enabled.

2. 

For Ableton Live Users

• Go to Preferences > Plug-Ins.
• Ensure “Audio Units” and/or “VST2/VST3” are enabled.
• If you use a custom VST folder, check that Ableton is set to scan the correct folder where your plugin is installed (Browse to select your custom location).

3. 

Check the Plugin Installation Location

• By default, our plugin installers often install to your user library folder, not the main system library.
• System Library Path:
   Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > Plug-Ins (contains “Components”, “VST”, “VST3” folders)
• User Library Path (Hidden by default):
  In Finder, select Go > hold Option > select Library > Audio > Plug-Ins
   You may find your plugin (e.g., Peculiar Sounds, Loop Elements) in the user library’s “Components” or “VST3” folder

4. 

Move Plugins to the Main System Library

• If your DAW doesn’t read plugins from the user library, copy the plugin files (e.g., .component or .vst3) from the user library to the corresponding folder in the main system library:
  
  • Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > Plug-Ins > [Component/VST3]
• Restart your DAW and rescan for plugins.

5. 

Still Not Working?

• Double-check you’re running the latest version of your DAW and that it supports the plugin format (AU, VST3, etc).
• Try reinstalling the plugin.
• Make sure your DAW is scanning the correct folders (see above).
