DLL Files.... HELP!

Hi…Im in need of some help with the instilation of my vst files…Im a subscriber of computer music magazine of which i get alot of free plugins that come with free dvd. If the plugin comes with its own installer exe file i dont have any trouble because it will ask me where to install, of which i put in C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase studio 4\Vstplugins…however when i try to copy single DLL Files in to the same folder they never show up in the inserts and effects tab on the left.

Am i copying these files in the right place or do i need to move them somewhere else?

Any help is much appreciated!

Hey, I also get Computer Music and Future Music mag (and on occasion MusicTech lol) and haven’t personally had any problem with the .dll files.

I noticed you’re using cubase 4, I use cubase sx and if the plug in isn’t an install using .exe then i just extract the .dll to the following folder:



C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins



Is there a vstplugins folder within the Steinberg folder without the need to click into the ‘cubase 4’ folder? Try extracting the file into there instead.

Forgot to answer your Q, lol.

The .dll file will go into the same folder as the folder which your .exe plug ins are installed in.

Check to see that your plug ins are defo going into the right folder.
