Fix steps
- Quit and reopen the DAW after installation.
- Run a full plugin rescan in the DAW plugin manager.
- Confirm you installed a format your DAW supports.
- Check the standard plugin folder for the installed file.
- Clear the DAW plugin cache or blacklist if the first scan failed.
- Reinstall NAM Rig if the file is missing from the expected folder.
Format reminders
- Use VST3 for most modern DAWs.
- Use Audio Unit only on macOS hosts that support AU plugins.
- Use the AAX-compatible format only in hosts that load that format.
- Use the standalone app when you want to play without scanning a DAW plugin.
If the plugin appears but has no sound
A successful scan only means the host found the plugin. If the plugin opens but no audio passes, check track input, input monitoring, bypass, Gate, and output routing.
