Whether you’re in search of an intriguing delay effect, a lifelike reverb, or a vocal de-esser, there’s a VST. Adobe Audition supports VSTs for your projects.
We’ll share how to install VST in Adobe Audition, allowing you to utilize a broad range of audio plug-ins. VST, short for “Virtual Studio Technology”, opens up a world of possibilities with access to thousands of third-party plug-ins online, many of which are free to download.
How to Install VST in Adobe Audition
- Start by verifying that VSTs are enabled within Audition. If you haven’t used VSTs before, they will be disabled by default. Navigate to “Effects” > “Audio Plug-in Manager” to open a dialog box with various plug-in settings.
- Select the VST Plug-in Folders tab, and click on “Add” to specify a custom folder for your VSTs. Choosing “Default” will revert to your operating system’s default plug-in folder.
- Proceed to the Available Plug-ins tab and select “Scan for Plug-ins”. This action ensures that any plug-ins that you’ve recently installed or moved into the dedicated folder will be added to Audition. If a plug-in isn’t supported by the software, it will be listed under the unsupported sub-menu.
- Finally, decide which VSTs you plan to use in Audition and deselect the other plug-ins to conserve CPU power. Remember, you can always return and modify this list depending on your project requirements.
