How to Install VST in FL Studio
Install your new VST synth and effect plugin into the FL Studio database so that it can be used within the digital audio workstation software. After confirming the folder being used for housing VST's in FL Studio, either install the plugin's DLL file into that folder, or run the VST's installer EXE and select the folder when prompted. FL Studio's "Fast Scan" feature is then utilized to detect the new VST, allowing it to be added to the sequencer or mixer tracks.

Unzip the VST files with an unzipping program, such as WinZip, 7-Zip or Free Zip Wizard. Double-click on the unzipped folder to open it, then install the VST into the VST folder directory. There are two methods for doing this: Double-click the installer EXE file in the folder and select "C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins" as the destination for installation when prompted by the on-screen instructions; or manually copy and paste the VST's DLL file into the "C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins" folder. The two methods of installation for VSTs will depend on the manufacturer's specifications.
