OBS Studio supports many VST2.x plugins. Adding a VST plugin is as simple as adding any other audio filter, but there are some limitations. VST1.x, VST3.x, MIDI control/input in VST plugins, and shell VST plugins are not supported at this time. We have not tested all plugins, and some VST plugins may cause crashes. Use VST 2.x plugins as audio filters in OBS. EffEditOpen: the ptr argument is a WindowRef on 32 bit Mac. On 64 bit this is a NSView pointer. The plug-in needs to add its own NSView as subview of it. Click the 'Browse' button next to 'VST Plug-In Custom Folder'. Select the folder you would like Ableton to use for VST Plug-Ins. Confirm that the 'Use VST Plug-In Custom Folder' option is turned on, and the file path listed under 'VST Plug-In Custom Folder' leads to the folder you just selected. I have plenty of VST plug-ins installed, I can see them in carla. I also installed the reaper vst plugins in wine and the 64-bit reaper vst plugins with wine64. Please suggest on how to get this working with OBS or the best way to verify at least some my VST plug-ins are working (typically I prefer the free native lv2 plug-ins). In this video Radio Zane of Simple Green Tech does a Tracktion T7 Tutorial showing the Tracktion 7 basics of installing and using VST Plugin effects and instruments. This Tracktion T7 Tutorial shows Tracktion T7 Plugins, how to use the Tracktion T7 mixer, and how to make a Tracktion T7 beat or Tracktion T7 song.

Installing a plugin in OBS is very easy, you just have to make sure you are installing a plugin for the correct version of OBS. /free-organ-vst-mac.html. If you downloaded the OBS installer and used the default location the file paths will look like this on a 64bit Windows:

C:Program Files(x86)OBSplugins
- 32bit plugins go here
C:Program FilesOBSplugins (old OBS versions used: C:Program Files(x86)OBS64bitplugins)
- 64bit plugins go here

Like this on a 32bit Windows:

And if you downloaded the Binaries as a Zip file for example, you will have a file path like this:

OBS32bitplugins
- 32bit plugins go here
OBS64bitplugins
- 64bit plugins go here

Adding Vst Plugins In Obs Plugin

If you are not sure which version is being started by the Shortcut you currently use, just right-click the Shortcut and click on “Open file location”. Alternatively you can also check the OBS log-file. To find the latest log, inside OBS click on Settings -> Open Log Folder. And check the version notice in one of the logfiles.
Now after you downloaded your desired plugin you wish to install, its probably the easiest way to extract it into a temporary folder. Especially if you installed OBS into the program files folder you wont need to run WinRar or a similar program with administrative rights. In this temporary folder you will have one dll file and depending on the plugin maybe a subfolder with more stuff. All of these files just have to be moved into the earlier mentioned plugins folder of the correct OBS version you are using. Keep subfolders etc. intact and make sure they land directly in the plugins folder.
Make sure your OBS was closed, or restart it after installing plugins, and then you can click on the Plugins button in OBS to check that your newly installed ones are showing up:

Some plugins also offer configuration options while others allow you to add other stuff to your sources, so this the next step from here depends on your plugin. Have fun!

Best Obs Plugins

In the future OBS will probably provide its own plugin installer which will ease the whole process of installing a plugin. But for the moment a few mouse-clicks have to be done! As always please comment if you found a mistake or have an addition.
