Authorizing Your Plugin



Installation


  • Why aren't my plugins recognized after installation?

    As a first step, try restarting your computer to make sure the plugin has been registered by the operating system. If the problem persists, check your DAW's plugin settings to make sure it is configured to scan the directories where our plugins are installed:

    macOS
    • /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST
    Windows
    • C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Steinberg\VSTPlugins
  • How do I uninstall a plugin?
    macOS

    Move the following files to the trash:

    • /Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/MeterPlugs <Plugin Name>.aaxplugin
    • /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/MeterPlugs <Plugin Name>.component
    • /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/MeterPlugs <Plugin Name>.vst
    Windows
    1. Click the Start button, then Control Panel, then Programs, and then Programs and Features.
    2. Select "MeterPlugs <Plugin Name>" and then click Uninstall.

Troubleshooting


  • The plugin appears white and without graphics

    This typically only happens on Windows, and may be caused by the following:

    Full temp directory

    Our plugins "unpack" various resources into the temp directory when they are run. If that directory is full, then graphics and images may be unavailable to the plugin and not displayed correctly. To fix this, empty your temp directory:

    1. Open the file explorer
    2. In the address bar, type "%TEMP%" (without quotes) and press Enter
    3. Select all the files in the temp directory and delete them
    4. Restart the DAW / plugin
    Missing data directory

    Our VST2 plugin DLLs have a corresponding "data" directory that is installed in the same directory as the DLL. If you manually relocate the plugin DLL after installation, you will need to relocate the data directory as well.

    Old graphics drivers

    Finally, it could be that your graphics drivers are out of date. Determine which graphics card you have and visit the vendor's website to see if newer drivers are available.

  • Perception AB "stuck" syncing forever in Reaper

    Reaper's auto-bypass feature can cause Perception AB to get "stuck" and sync indefinitely. To fix this, try disabling the "Auto-bypass FX (when set via project or manual setting) even when FX configuration open" option in Preferences > Audio.
