Scanning for Plug-ins in Studio One (Windows)

If you have installed a Windows-compatible Antares plugin and it is not showing up in Studio One, please follow these instructions to resolve the issue.

Installation and Compatibility

***Important Note***:  Our plugins (and all other 3rd-party plugins) are only readily compatible with "Professional" versions of Studio One.  If you have an "Artist" version of Studio One, you'll need to get the VST and AU add-on from Presonus and install it in order to load our plugins in Studio One Artist. Studio One 5 Artist natively supports VST and AU plug-ins, so users of this version will not have to purchase the add-on. 

If your Antares plug-ins are not showing up in Studio One (64-bit), please be sure that you have installed the 64-bit VST or AU version of the plug-in.

If your license is for an older 32-bit version, you may need to first purchase an upgrade, or alternatively, use Studio One 3 in 32-bit mode.

The installers for older versions of our plugins can be found here.
