Hello,
Todya i updated fl studio like i always do since last 10 years, and suddenly ANA 2 is not working,
I can still open it if it’s inside an existing project but when i want to ADD an ANA 2 instance it say it cannot be found, and when i scan with the plugin manager it’s not showing in there anymore, as it was before !
Any idea ? Thanks !
What’s your FL Studio version and are you on a Mac or on a PC ?
Are you using the latest ANA 2 version ?
Have your tried to re-download and reinstall ANA 2 v2.5.4 ?
Yes, actually i tested things, and fl does not recognize VST 2 but VST 3 works !
Ah yes, so it’s working 
I think by default you have this option in FL Preferences/Plugins manager where you combine VST2 and VST3, so when a plugin has this feature enable and when this option is ON inside FL settings, you will only see the VST3 yes.
Hello so i did a rescan without this option checked and i got the same results unfortunately…
The plugin has an internal feature to favorite the use of the VST3 over VST2 when both plugins format are installed.
Although I would expect this feature to be bypassed when you turn this setting OFF inside FL studio, I’m not sure it’s enough.
Check the VST2 installation path first ( see info below ), and if the VST 2 is in the same folder where-from FL Studio is scanning your VST 2 plugins and if you still don’t see the VST 2, you will need to remove the VST 3.
That said, unless you absolutely want to use the VST 2, there’s no difference and no reason not to use the VST 3, to be honest it’s more the opposite.
Check the Path where FL studio is scanning for your VST2 plugins and make sure that ANA 2 VST 2 plugin is installed in the same directory.
By default the installer will install the VST 2 in :
C:/Program Files/VSTPlugins —> ANA2 x64.dll
( an alternative installation path could be C:/Program Files/Steinberg/VSTPlugins depending of your FL Studio settings install ).
Hello so i managed to make it work by putting the vsts in one of the default folders of the plugin manager of fl studio, and it work… seems like you just can’t have custom folders anymore 
Thanks for your update on this and happy to hear that you’ve got it sorted
Hmm, yeah, bummer if it’s no longer possible.
Can’t confirm tho, not that much into FL Studio, maybe they have something about this on Image Line website or forums.
But OK, at least you’re up and running again with ANA 2 in FL Studio again 
Thanks again for the update, that might be useful for other users as well
Cheers 
I currently posted a ticket on image line, even if it’s not directly ANA 2 the problem i’ll keep this post updated in case of a solution reply.
Thanks for you help, yeah i couldn’t see myself working without ana 
Ok so i got answer from image line and vsts folder cannot be inside installation folder anymore and has to be outside.
Thanks for your update and sharing the info
