Installing VST Sound Libraries
To install a new library, you must register the corresponding VST Sound container les.
Installing Libraries Using the Steinberg Download Assistant
If your VST Sound libraries come with a Steinberg content set or a Steinberg plug-in, they are
installed using the Steinberg Download Assistant.
PROCEDURE
1.
In the Steinberg Download Assistant, click Download.
2.
When the download is complete, click Open to start the installation.
3.
In the dialog, specify where you want to install the libraries and whether you want to keep
the installation les.
● Select Install to Default Location to save the libraries in the default location specied in
the Steinberg Library Manager.
● Select Install to Path to install the libraries in a specic folder.
You can enter the path to the folder in the eld on the right. To keep your system clean
and uncluttered, we recommend that you create a dedicated folder for all your libraries
and then create subfolders for each new library. You can also create multiple library
folders on different hard disks.
● Activate Keep Installation Files to keep the downloaded installation les. This is useful
for backup purposes.
NOTE
Installation les can require a considerable amount of hard disk space. Therefore, it is
advisable to save them on a hard disk dedicated for backup les.
4. Click OK.
RESULT
The libraries in the selected folder are registered to the MediaBay of your Steinberg plug-ins and
DAW, and can be used the next time that you open the plug-in or the DAW.
Manually Installing Libraries
If your VST Sound libraries do not come with the Steinberg Download Assistant, for example,
because you purchased them from a third-party manufacturer, you must install the libraries
manually.
PROCEDURE
1.
In the File Explorer/macOS Finder, navigate to the folder where the new VST Sound library is
located and double-click the
le.
If the folder contains several VST Sound library les that have not been installed yet, they are
all installed when you double-click one of them.
