    Uploaded by

    Nicola Landro
    This article discusses how to scan for VST, LV2, and LADSPA plugins in various digital audio workstations (DAWs) on Linux, including Ardour, Reaper, and Carla. It provides instructions for rescaning plugins in each DAW's preferences menu. While Carla is not technically a DAW, it allows adding plugins through Jack without needing a separate DAW. The conclusion recommends Ardour and Reaper as favorite open source and commercial DAWs respectively, along with using Carla when a full DAW is not required.

    Nicola Landro Oct 21 · 2 min read

    This article aims to explain how to refresh the vst2, vst3, lv2, ladspa plugins on each
    daw available on linux. Up to now I add some of the possible DAW usable on Linux in
    the future I will add more on this article.

    List of DAW/Software with scan plugins guide:

    • Ardour

    • Reaper

    • Carla

    Ardour
    Ardour: go to Edit>Preferences and click on VST under Plugins, ensure that the ~/.vst
    path is present and after rescan for plugins (edit the path and after you close it, it ask
    you if you need to rescan or click on Plugins and click Scan for Plugins button)

    Carla is not a DAW but i use it to add plugins with Jack without DAW, for example in
    Live or when I use particular programs like LMMS to include all external vst/lv2.

    Ardour is my favorite DAW open source but sometimes it is not perfect, Reaper is my favourite
    DAW for now, and I use Carla when I do not want to start a DAW.

    Enjoy your music and use Linux.
