In certain DAWs the path to the VST3 plugins needs to be set manually first, for them to be picked up correctly.


In Cakewalk, open the preference window and then add the relevant path under the VST settings.  

Windows:

  • VST3: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3

Mac:

  • VST3: Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST3
