I am using ableton live lite which on the website shows it supports vst plugins. I have set up custom folders and pointed ableton to them and re scanned multiple times, i have re installed plugins multiple times to different locations to try to fix the problem nothing worked. The only plugins that show up are plugins that have a .vst3 extension any .dll plugins whether it is 32 or 64 bit will not show up in ableton no matter what i try, i have tried the articles on the help website and tried all the steps i have wiped my entire system and did a clean install and tried the steps above to see if it was an external process that was interfering but i still have the same problem no .dll plugin will load no matter where i put it no matter where i install no matter what i do it does not show up in ableton, i have no idea what to do. The website only provides support for intro, standard and suite so i am out of luck.
To get Serum up and running in Ableton you need to check Ableton's AU/VST settings. Navigate to: Ableton. File and Folder (all Live versions until 10.1) /Plug-ins (Live 10.1 and later) Make sure 'Use AudioUnits/VST' are all checked and hit Rescan. Windows users will only have the option 'VST Plugin Custom Folder', manually.
Do Newer Vst Plugins Only Work With Ableton 10 Software
If any one has any idea on how to solve this i would be grateful.
