Add Vst To Ableton Mac
Ableton comes with an impressive, diverse and extremely usable set of instruments, effects and samples. However, at some point you will almost certainly want to install 3rd party plug ins to get that sound you need.
Jan 27, 2017 I made this video in response to all the MAC users out there having trouble installing the Synth1 VST on their system. This video tutorial should show you how to install plugins on mac in general but in this case the Synth1 Vst. The process is the same for all other VST installations.

Luckily for you, the process of adding 3rd party plug-ins on a Mac is extremely straight forward. It is literally a case of copying the plug in files into the Mac plug in directory. Once this is done Ableton will automatically find your plug-ins ready to use.

Where is the Ableton Plug ins folder?
The truth is there isn’t one specifically for Ableton, it’s a shared plug ins folder in you Mac Library. By default the folders used to contain plug-ins, and where you need to copy them to, are:
(for AU) Library > Audio > Plug ins > Component
(for VST) Library > Audio -> Plug ins > VST
(for VST) Library > Audio -> Plug ins > VST

Setting a custom plug in folder
In Ableton there is also the ability to set a custom location for your plug ins folder. This is handy if you have multiple DAWs installed on the same Mac, or if you just want to use a different hard disc, perhaps a solid state to run them from.
