How to Find Your Plugins in FL Studio

First, check whether the relevant plugin or bundle license/s are activated on your computer or USB Flash Drive:

1. Launch Waves Central.
   Windows: via the desktop shortcut or Start Menu > All Programs > Waves.
   Mac: Applications > Waves Central.


2. Log into Waves Central using your Waves account information.


3. Select the Licenses page.


4. Select the Connected Devices tab. Use the arrow on the right to expand the list.


5. Check if the missing plugin/s license are activated on this connected device.

If they are activated, proceed to Step #2 below.

If they are not, check if the missing plugin/s license are in the Not Activated tab. If they are not activated, select the license/s and click ‘Activate’.

f not in the Not Activated tab, check if the missing plugin license/s are in a device in the Disconnected Devices tab, if there, refer to this article to locate the device.

First, check whether the relevant plugin file/s are correctly installed on your computer. Go to:

Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Waves\Plug-Ins V14 (or whichever version is installed on your device)
Mac: Macintosh HD > Applications > Waves > Plug-Ins V14 (or whichever version is installed on your device)

The relevant plugin file will be named after the plugin, in this format: [PluginName].bundle. For example, the plugin file for Reel ADT will be named Reel ADT.bundle.

If the plugins you are looking for are not there, install the plugins by following the instructions in this link.

If the relevant plugin files are in the above folders, perform a rescan:

1. In FL Studio, create a project with a supported sample rate, right-click on Plugin Database, and select Manage Plugins.


2. Under Plugin Search Paths, make sure that both VST3 paths are listed and check-marked. If they do not exist, add them.
   
   • Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 ; C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3
   • Mac: Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > Plug-Ins > VST3


3. Under Scan options, verify that 'Scan previously scanned plug-ins' and 'Re-Scan Plug-Ins with Errors' are highlighted, if they are not, highlight them.


4. At the top left of the window, make sure Verify Plugins is check-marked, and click on Find more plugins.
