Hi the Fx plugin Shows up in the plugin manager but not in the mixer list of plugins.. do you have any idea how to fix this. And is it possible that when it shows up in the manager and then putting in the code that it will show up? Thanks

[@purpledream9]

@@dkumas6588 I installed FL on Surface 8 and did the same things, but it didn't install, of course it is 64 bit. How can I make FL 32 bit?

i isntalled ateras auto tune but it dosent show in plugins anyway . plz help

[@ajventura2423]

I tried using your method here, as well as altering the method and rescanning, but to no avail. Some of the base ones that come with FL arent even showing up for me even after this. I mean, they show up in the list, but when I go to add them to a mixer track it stays blank as though I haven't tried to add an effect. Take Stereo Enhancer as an example. I selected a mixer track for an instrument, went into the mixer, picked the Insert I was using, added Fruity Reverb 2, Soundgoodizer, then went to add Stereo Shaper and nothing. Ugh! Just got the urge to write again after a 5yr block and I have this crap happen! I guess I will save everything and reinstall FL to see if that helps. I just hate doing that because Massive always fights with me when I try to install it.

[@outskirt_]

Even after following all these steps and selecting the folders that I know contain plug ins I've downloaded, I still only have access to those that come free with FL 🤷‍♂

If you click them on and still doesnt show up. When u go the the effect rack to select plug in, scroll down to more plug ins and they will be there

[@PradaaDrew]

When I put the plug-in in fl studio I see it in the list but when I click it it just says the title of the file and it doesn’t do anything, you know what to do?

Sounds like it’s not installed properly 🤷‍♂️

[@theomixes]

in my case, when i want to select a plug-in to use, all of my plugins are gone and it only has newtime and tuner, i didn’t do anything tho. Can you help me, pls?

[@shprotov04]

How can I find out the path of the plugin (where it is located) loaded with an error if it does not open?

[@Unders]

honestly the answer is search your system or pay attention when installing things if you want them to be in a specific place. Or reinstall them an do that.

[@rxbunkiey]

I’m just tryna figure out where my plugin selector went in the mixer rack on the right, it disappeared and now I can’t add any plugins to my sounds through the mixer

[@Unders]

This can be two things. One its hidden, check the menu options on the little dropdown on the mixer. Or its been pushed beyond the window space as FL can exceed viewable space. in which cans drag from the left to make the mixer smaller an reposition it

[@abbyrusstle]

Downloaded expand, i did all this but it still says 0 plugins and doesn’t show up for me

[@Unders]

Then check the location you installed it to.

[@clique1579]

i'm new and all of this is unnecessarily difficult i feel like just giving up

[@cristianionescu8431]

The problem is the tutorials are so rushed and they don't talk about the possible errors, they think it's all about hitting one button and that's it

If you feel like giving up at this tiny hurdle then consider why you wanted to make something in the first place.

[@superceotto4584]

In my case, some of the native plugins are o the "manage plugins" menu but won't show up on the plugins list in the mixer. Some like Fruity delay 1, or the Fruity fast LP.

[@Unders]

Some plugins are regarded as legacy and only there for backwards compatibility. This could be the reason. But I’m not 100%.

[@TomSidProductions]

My problem is that FL will only show favorited plugins in the picker and drop-down menu, I don't know what setting I accidentally turned on for it to behave like this. It seems to be my windows user profile that has this problem and my other user accounts don't have plugins behave like this.

[@Unders]

Quite possibly an admin permission issue. I cant guide you as ive not used windows since version 7 😬

[@natesmith3725]

Thanks for the tut! Can you tell me how to find the plugin dock that is supposed to appear on the right side of the mixer when you select each individual channel on the channel rack? That whole dock keeps randomly disappearing on me in the middle of a project. Super annoying.

[@Unders]

settings on the mixer itself, I have the plugins show up on each channel (large ish display so this is viable) Second general settings "limit to window" or something similar to that, stop things leaving the frame of FL to never return. If you have dual display though you will need to leave it on.

[@natesmith3725]

@@Unders Hm. Not too sure what you mean. What I'm saying is I clicked something and screwed up my default settings. Its that menu underneath where it says "Mixer Insert-1" on the right of the mixer where it has that list of plugin slots (Slot 1, Slot 2 etc) and "Equalizer" at the bottom. All that's what disappears. Basically, when I have this problem, the only thing that appears is Master channel and all inserts with no plugin menu on the right. Each time I have to reset FL default to get it back. Wondering if there's another way to fix.

[@imkastronaut]

Just icase if anyone has the problem where your plugins won't show up and the add option shows only loading plugin list..... Then just follow this : Goto options -> Manage Plugins -> Find more plugins It should start scanning for plugins. Once done just click the star on all the plugins and go back And click on add -> refresh plugin list Thats it! All your plugins should appear. Like if it worked for you :)

[@LazyAndSuffering]

Nothing showedup when i perssed manage plugins.

[@Gavolak]

[@willd.6345]

Hey man, I've got a pretty big issue I'm dealing with right now; maybe you have an idea what to do? Essentially, I started with FL 21, upgraded to 2024, had some glitches so deleted it and switched back to 21. All of a sudden, Plugin Manager started to freeze any time I tried to initiate a plugin scan and required a force quit. I re upgraded to version 2024, fresh install, but same issue. I decided to uninstall FL and try again from scratch, but now not only is Plugin Manager not working, but FL says it has 0. plugins (including stock.....) so I am completely at a loss of what to do here. Can't even keep working on music files because I can't access any or all plugins. Please help?
