    Ableton says: "VST plugin could not be found" every time I open a 3rd party Project. Does anyone know why? I have Spire installed. I can load Spire manually and then load the presets manually, but I have no idea Why Ableton can't find Spire. Ableton doesn't have problems loading Sylenth1, or Massive.

    I have heard that the reason is that the 3rd party Project is made with an Apple computer (AAX) and I am on a Windows computer (VST). For some reason that gives problems. But only with Spire, and not with other synths...huh ? Anyone?

    I'm on Windows 7 (64bit) and I installed Spire (64 bit).

    Your Spire dll is called Spire 1.1, Projects are trying to load Spire.dll and they can't find it. I guess renaming the dll should fix the issue.

    I think the vst was renamed because v1.1+ isn't backwards compatible. If what somethin suggests doesn't work, try finding an older version of Spire and install it alongside the newer one. Older projects should open now.

    Unfortunately true. But I don't think this error is due to Live

    Thanks for replying. I have tried renaming the dll, but that didn't work. So now I wil try to install an older version.
