Hi, I have the free version of Studio One 4 and cannot get my guitar plugins to open or be recognized. They are all 3rd party free plugins as of now, but even under "Options," I'm not given a VST plugins location or option. I have an HP 15t brand new computer with an i7 core processor. I continually get the same message while attempting to open a plugin, that being "you are attempting to open a file .dll plugin" (image attached). I would really appreciate any help in trying to access my plugins. I will most likely upgrade my recording software with a paid version of Studio One 4 too so any help would be excellent in furthering that idea. Thanks a bunch - Mark Chandler

Hi.

Studio One Prime does not support VST plugins.  If you wish to use VST plugins with Studio One you either need to buy the Artist version AND the VST/AU enablers or pay for the pro version.  If you buy Presonus interfaces or other hardware like the Faderport  you will get a free version of Artist and then you can either buy the VST support add-on or upgrade to Professional version.
