VST Audio plugins - Where are they stored?
When you open Hindenburg it will automatically scan your computer for existing plugins.
Hindenburg looks for current VST plugins in these locations.
1) The path specified by VSTPluginPath in the registry
2) C:\Program Files (x86)\Steinberg\VSTPlugins
3) C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTPlugins
When a folder is found with plugins, then Hindenburg will assume that all plugins are in that folder.
So, It's a good idea to use the same folder for all Plugins.
When you add a new plugin Hindenburg will detect it and add it to your list of plugins.
