FAQ

How do I install free plugins in FL Studio, Ableton or Logic?

Run the installer, then rescan: FL (Manage plugins → Find), Ableton (Preferences → Plug-Ins), Logic validates AU on launch. Use VST3 for FL/Ableton, AU for Logic.

Should I use stock plugins too?

Absolutely. Your DAW's stock EQ and compressor are excellent — add these for synths, reverb, metering and character.
