How to install VST3 and AU

?️ For macOS (AU & VST3)

1. Download & Unzip

   • Download the plugin ZIP from Lostin70s Audio.

   • Unzip the archive. You’ll find :

     • A .component file or folder (for AU)

2. Move the Plugin Files

   • AU (Audio Unit): Move the .component file or folder to:

     /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
     

3. ⚠️ Important: Use the main Library, not your user one (~/Library/), unless your DAW specifically scans user plugins.

4. Rescan Plugins in Your DAW

   • Open your DAW (e.g., Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Reaper).

   • Force a rescan of plugins if it doesn’t show up automatically.

?️ For Windows (VST3 only)

1. Download & Unzip

   • Unzip the plugin file you downloaded from the Lostin70s site.

   • You'll get a .vst3 file or folder.

2. Move the Plugin

   • Copy the .vst3 file or folder into:

     C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
     

3. Rescan in Your DAW

   • Open your DAW (e.g., FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper).

   • Force a VST3 rescan from plugin manager/settings if needed.

?️ Troubleshooting

• Plugin not showing up?

  • Check that your DAW supports VST3 or AU.

  • Some DAWs require a restart or plugin cache reset.

  • Make sure you placed the plugin in the correct system-wide folder (especially on macOS).

• Still invisible?

  • Some DAWs (like Logic) only support AU.

  • Others (like Cubase) prefer VST3.
