I will resume whats happening so i installed ableton 12 lite becouse i got a license from my focusrite solo 3rd gen
so i go ahead install it then i drop the parawave rapid vst on to the blank space and in the bottom part an orange bar appears saying in spanish : solo pueden insertarse efectos de audio en una pista de audio and im like what is this i've contacted ableton and they dont even know what the h*** is going on if anybody has a fix or could help me let me know thanks

 

'Only audio effects can be inserted into an audio track'

interesting

I don't have said plugin but looks like it's confused as to what type of plugin it is.

 

It also happens with any vst instrument legal or cracked this is making me crazy i need to fix it

 

Have you tried completely removing Ableton and reinstalling it?

 

Wait, what?

Sure it can, at least of version 10 onwards. There might've been some version earlier that didn't, but that hasn't been true for years.



*edit:* You can also drag FX to MIDI/Instrument tracks, they just won't do anything until there's an instrument there. What you can't do is to drag an instrument plugin to an audio track.

Example of an FX in an instrument track:

 

Hmm. Ableton seems to indicate otherwise?

Can I use third-party plug-ins in Live Lite?
Yes, Live Lite supports VST plug-ins (Windows, Mac) as well as Audio Unit (AU) plug-ins (Mac only).



Could it be barfing because synth vst was dragged over an audio track? It doesn't make much sense but I feel there's a disconnect somewhere or a bug in the Lite licensing.

 

Rapid has 2 versions : an instrument and an effect. Make sure you're using the right one.

 

Live 12 Lite - Version 12.1.1 - Windows - 64 Bit with Parawave - Rapid VST3

I tested Rapid, it works without errors, see attached pictures.

 

I know it is basic, but...are you sure you are dropping it into the right place?

Vst Effects into Audio tracks
Vst Instruments into Midi tracks.

From their site about Lite features: "8 audio and MIDI tracks"
