Why are most of my VSTs failing to load?

PrinceRaama

I recently upgraded to Maschine 3 from Maschine 2. All of my VSTs were working fine on Maschine 2, and continued to once I bought Maschine 3. They did not work on Maschine 3, however. I tried deleting Maschine 2 to see if they would start loading on Maschine 3, but they still won't load. Most of them pop up in the search still. I've tried rescanning both my plugins and my library multiple times and added as many pathways as I could but

unfortunately had no luck. If anybody has any ideas on what I should do, I would be extremely appreciative.

Thank you very much for your help, Jeremy, but I’ve already solved it. I had to reinstall everything, open the standalone version of the app, and then I was able to use the .vst plugin in Ableton.

Did you open Maschine in standalone and let it scan your plugs?

And are you scanning the right directories?

Have you tried the troubleshooter section "Reset the Maschine Database and Favorites" ?

Which VSTs are not loading? The Gentleman is a Kontakt library. For that make sure you have the VST3 version of Kontakt if it's K7 or 8 (and all your VSTs that don't have VST2 versions) or if you are on Windows, add the VST2 path in settings

You didn't mention your OS, since you use VSRTs, I'm going to assume you're on Windows, please try this: Maschine 2 Error Message: "Error. *NI Product* could not be loaded" (Windows)

"I have the same issue, but when using the .vst. It works fine in standalone mode."

Some more info would help here. Which plug-ins or instances are not loading? What is the exact error message? Do you mean this is only happening when using Maschine as a plug-in in a DAW? What DAW?

Are you running Maschine and your DAW as admin? How to Run a Program as an Administrator

YOu can also check the following: Maschine Error: "Missing Plug-ins. The following Plug-ins could not be loaded"

"Sorry for not explaining myself clearly. I recently migrated to a Mac Mini Pro 2024 running Sequoia 15.5, using Live 12. I usually use the Maschine 2 plugin in Live, not in standalone mode, but when I try to open and load any instrument from my library, it doesn't load and shows an error message."

Ok so can you provide a screenshot of the error message? Is it happening for all plugins? Massive? Kontakt libraries?

How did you "migrate" exactly? That can have a negative impact: My Native Instruments Product does not work after using Migration Assistant / Time Machine / Carbon Copy Cloner (Mac OS)
