DAW operations vary tremendously. Generally speaking, to use the AVA plugin you must follow these steps:
- Install the plugins, using the provided plugin installer application.
- Follow your DAW’s instructions to “scan” for new plugins.
Please refer to your DAW manual to see which plugin formats (AAX, AU, VST, or VST3) are supported by your workstation.
Most plugin formats require that plugins are installed to a specific location on the system. In these cases, the Harrison-provided installer will place the plugins in the default locations.
For VST format, on Windows, it is normally expected that the user defines the location of VST plugins, and tells the workstation where to find the plugins. The default location for VST plugins is C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VST. The AVA plugin installer will save the VST (.dll) files to that location if a custom VST path is not provided by the OS. If you are having trouble, you should verify that the path is included in your DAW VST scan paths.
