Plugin Alliance How To Update Plugins
Егор Ульянов
Plugin Alliance has a great selection of eminently musical, useful plugins many of which are optimized for both AAX DSP and native environments. Authorization allotments are very fair and managing auths could not be easier. Most important, the Alliance listens to users and focuses that input on innovation and product improvement.
Plugin Alliance was one of the first places my knowledgeable engineer and producer friends told me to check out. I then made the switch from my old analog rig. And am I glad I did! From the ease of their installation and account management tools, to no silly iLoks, it was love at first download! Then I found such a great set of Mastering tools! I couldn't live without my bx EQs now!
I've been extremely vocal about a number of the Plugin Alliance tools that I use in my production and mixing. The bx_digital V3, Vertigo VSC-2 and VSM-3 have been in every single mix since they've been available. The new Acme Opticom is quickly becoming another one of those plugins as well. Plugin Alliance provides an invaluable set of tools that I just can't live without if I want to get the job done.
What I love most about Plugin Alliance, is the vast amount of incredibly useful and amazing sounding plugins that are AAX DSP, giving me the ability to work with very powerful and creative tools without having to sacrifice my workflow while tracking.
Plugin Alliance is a one stop shop for just about all of your plugin needs. Multiple manufacturers, offering some of the best EQ, compression, corrective, and mastering tools on the market today. One account and one license covers them all, it couldn't be more simple. I also really love that they offer FULLY functional demos, allowing the user to truly see what their products are capable of before they commit to buying.
All Plugin Alliance guitar and bass amp modellers have pretty much replaced what I've been using up to this point. The prime reason is character - they don't sound like plugins, especially anyone else's plugins, which, to a certain extent, I've found sound a bit 'the same'.

Hi I am working in Cubase 10.5
Several of the VST3 plugins from Plugin Alliance dont load the presets. I have a yearly bundle with all great plugins BUT since day one, this problem is not solved since three month back. They have been trying with their own support but with no solution in sight. Yhe say its bizarre
Sometimes I can see the folders by following the Location Tree but cannot check the box to open it. Sometimes there is no folders at all and of cource have no presets to load.(See pics)
Some of the plug-ins seem to have the presets within the plug-in itself and in that case all is working as it should.
Hi!
yes all the steps has been taken.
Recently, P-A told me, the vst2 and vst3 plug-ins share the presets between them (I did not know) so I will try to install the 32 bits as well BUT, Cubase is not fond of that at all, many of the vst2 is blacklisted. I can reactivatel them but it do not seem to be the right way to do (even if I have done that with some other companys plug-ins) ( In the Plug-in Manager - Please Note: 32-Bit Plug-ins are no longer supported!
One morte thing is that Windows has used the ONEDRIVE parthway to my presets (ONEDRIVE comes with the installation of Windows mail)
No that issue is over because P-A gave me the right path to the presets;
right path,
C:\Users\name\Dokument\VST3 Presets\Plugin Alliance
wrong path:
C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Dokument\VST3 Presets\Plugin Alliance

Hi. No its not completely solved.
But Some PA plugins uses the presets within the plugin itself and therefore work.
I am still very annoyed about PAs presets in Cubase (I have Cubase 11 and running Win 10 pro)
there is a problem with Plugin Alliance and presets on Windows 10. I also only have the VST3 64 bit version installed and only a few plugins had the presets, so if you are in the same situation as me:
I'm not sure whether it's compatibility with OS Ventura or Logic 10.7.5 causing it but the wonderful plugins from Plugin Alliance, which I use on every project, are crashing Logic repeatedly. Poof...and it's gone. I've been mixing a complex track for a couple of days and it's been happening a lot. Has anyone else been experiencing something similar?
I have not done that yet, but it seems any PA plugins that I used over the last few days can cause a crash by adjusting a parameter or even opening the GUI. But it's not always. I was able to finish my mix today that had several PA plugins on. I just had to restart (and save) often.
all my 3rd-party plugins worked in ventura from day1 of the OS betas. so perhaps an issue with plugin alliance? you could also try deleting logics preferences, restarting. or rebuild the audio cache (read up about this first! there are posts on this forum...)
at this point, your best bet is to start with plugin-alliance, and try some of what i suggested. also, hopefully others here will have thoughts, this is a good forum (with lots of smarter people than myself)...
I just heard back from Plugin-Alliance and the answer is "We do not support Ventura yet" . So if you are planning on moving to Ventura, know that it will be a while before their plugins are compatible. It seems like Melodyne may not yet be either as that has been consistently crashing too.
