I just bought a vst plugin from plug and mix and downloaded it and activated it but it's not showing up under the inserts tab where all the vst effects are. It says after you download it,
it should show up in your daw in demo mode and you can activate it from there but it never showed up at all so I activated it from the folder in my documents and it says it activated it.
There's a plug and mix folder in my documents with all the plugin's that they offer and I chose to only download the one I bought which was the Screamer.
When I look at the factory presets in the screamer folder it says the file types are DCPRG if that matters but the instructions said that it should have shown up in demo mode after I downloaded the software but it never did. Any ideas?

Hello there,

In order to assist you, we need to know if you are running Mac OS or Windows and which version of these. Which DAW and versions...

In a general way, please make sure that you have installed the plug-in in the correct path location which is usually setup by default when running the installer.

Try to reboot and then re-install the software. Launch your DAW and see if it now appears as it should.

Hope this helps.

It' needs to be authorised correctly at least once and then it will stay active at each launch.

You may re-install and see if it is authorised. If not, authorise it and all should go well...

Hope this helps.

Aright I reinstalled it and nothing happened so I checked its destination which was in program files and it was not in program files (86) so I installed it in there as well and nothing happened I checked the plug-in information under the devices tab in Cubase and there is nothing that says screamer in there. I have previously download a plugin from waves and that shows up in the plugin information list. It's also is in both the program files and program files(86) not just one if that matters. So far this does not seem to be compatible with my setup.

On Windows, a VST plug-in often has separate installation locations. The stand-alone version usually gets installed into a subfolder of "Program Files". This subfolder is normally named after the plug-in developer. The second location is for the VST plug-in DLL.

As you are running Cubase you might need to move the P&M VST file to :

Windows
C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins\

32-bit plug-ins on Windows 64-bit
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steinberg\Vstplugins\


As users use different DAWs our installers creates a "general" VST folder as requested by users that run multiple DAWs.

That is something all Windows users are aware of and they therefore handle their VST folders at their convenience...

Here's a tutorial that explains some of that but there are many more that you will find if you Google around...

Hope this helps.

Best Regards - Peter

OK, I figured it out. I just had to add a path to it in plugin information under devices and choose VST 2.x Plug-in Paths and add the folder that it was located in. Unfortunately I'm not that impressed with this particular plug in since I was looking to add more of a hardcore scream to my vocals but at least I figured it out.

Good to hear you got it to work.

I think you should demo any plug-in prior to purchasing it making sure it does what you expect it to do...

I hope it will find some use in future projects of yours...

Kind Regards - Peter
