Very new to ableton also, been at it for not even a month - just keep posting, watching tutorials, and youtube videos and youll get it. It all starts making sense after a few weeks of putting in hours.

Our SodaSynth and Analog Extracts plugins are both available as VST plugins on Windows, and compatible with Ableton Live. Here's some instructions to show youhow to use VST plugins in Ableton Live:
Ableton Live
Setup your VST Plug-ins Directory
Mac OS X users can skip this step!
In the Ableton Live preferences, go to the 'File Folder' tab.Ensure 'Use VST Plug-In Custom Folder' is ON, and click 'Browse' to choose the folder where all your VST plugins are.After that, click 'Rescan' to make sure Ableton Live has refreshed the list of installed plugins.
On Windows, Oscillicious VST plugins install to 'C:VST Plugins' by default, or 'C:VST Plugins (64-bit)' for 64-bit plugins.
On Mac OS X, Oscillicious plugins install to the system-wide standard VST plugins folder, so no configuration is required (/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST).
Open the Plug-in Devices Tab
Back in the main window, click the icon to open the Plug-In Devices tab. This tab displays a listof all the plugins Ableton Live has detected on your computer, by looking in both system-standard paths and your custom VST folder that we set up in the previous step.
Add a Plug-In Instrument to a Track
Double-click on one of the plug-in instruments in the list to add it to a track, or drag and drop it to the specific track you'd like to add it to.For example, you'll if you double-click on SodaSynth, you should SodaSynth added to a track in the Sesion or Arrangement view, and appear in the bottom panel.
Select a VST Preset
VST presets (synth patches or programs) appear in the bottom panel, and have been circled in red in the next screenshot. Clicking on that combobox allows you toquickly select any of the presets bundled with the VST plugin.
Open the Custom VST Editor
Most VST plugins come with a built-in custom editor screen, with knobs and extra help. Clicking the iconbeside the SodaSynth label in Ableton Live will open up the SodaSynth editor, which gives you access to our extra help screens.
Adjusting Parameters inside Ableton Live
Clicking the icon beside the SodaSynth label will open up the parameter area, allowing you to adjust the VST plugin'sparameters directly from inside Ableton Live. Right-clicking on a parameter allows you to set up automation curves and MIDI mappings for that parameter.
Compose!
Create a MIDI part and in the track that you added the SodaSynth VST instrument to, and either record from your MIDI keyboard or start writing a melody in the MIDI editor. If youwant to fatten up SodaSynth's sounds a bit, try adding a little bit of chorus or delay using the built-in Ableton Live effects.
That's it! This tutorial covered how to setup your VST plugins folder in Ableton Live, how to find plug-in devices and add them to a track, and how to change VST presets and paramters using both the Ableton Live and a plugin's custom VST editor. From here, you can use VST plugins as instruments in tracks, and create MIDI parts that trigger them.
We hope this tutorial was helpful, but if you need extra help or have suggestions on how we can improve this tutorial, please let us know!
Oscillicious VST Plugins for Windows
Analog Extracts is a sample pack containing 227 samples produced from a legendary analog modular synthesizer, capturing a range of 100% original synth sounds.
These raw analog sounds can be triggered by the included bonus VST plug-in that instantly transforms each sample into an instrument mapped to the entire keyboard, to save you the hassle of mapping them into a sampler. The plug-in works with any VST host, and doesn't require an existing sampler!
SodaSynth is a pristine, clean sounding synth that's easy to layer and mix.
Starting with an ensemble of oscillators, SodaSynth smoothly adds or subtracts harmonics whilemodulating the frequencies of these new components in novel ways.The results are clean harmonies that sound familiar, yet can morph in new ways.
Hi everyone,Am having trouble with VST. I read an article about the 5 best vsts out there (http://abletonlife.com/top-5-free-vst-p ... ac-edition). I'm a rookie so just wanted to try one out. I currently have Ableton Live, not Ableton suite and I'm using a mac.
Ableton Vst Plugins Free Download
So I chose one from the article. http://www.lowcoders.fr/downloadRelease.php?name=KD.dmg - note this is an automatic download page.I download the file and go through all the motions (installing, agreeing to terms, saving on my hard drive etc)
This vst is now saved in my: library/audio/plug-ins/components
The file is called kingdubby.component
When I go back to Live I open up my preferences and go to the tab filefolder - plug-in sources and under this turn on the 'use vst plug-in custom folder' and browse to specify the folder (library/audio/plug-ins/components), I then rescan and click on the plug-in device browser symbol. Sadly kingdubby.component is not there.
If anyone can help me, I would honestly consider mailing you cash and I'm broke, that's how much I want to get this working haha!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
