Where does the reason rack plugin install?

[rubasrosh47]

Hey ya'll, apologies for the noob question but I can't find an answer and I'm assuming it should be simple enough. I just heard you can install Reason and use it as a rack plugin in other DAWS, namely Ableton live.

I used to use Reason way back when, before Ableton, so would love to give this a try. I've installed the 30 day trial of Reason to give it a go but I can't for the life of me find where the rack plugin VST actually gets installed?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated, cheers!!

Hi there,

If you're on Windows it installs under:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Reason Rack Plugin.vst3

Dunno about Mac.

Cheers,

On a mac it is in:

‎⁨Macintosh HD⁩ ▸ ⁨Library⁩ ▸ ⁨Audio⁩ ▸ ⁨Plug-Ins⁩ ▸ ⁨VST3⁩

so, I tried to do some cleanup on my C drive yesterday, and somehow managed to remove the RRP. is there a way to install the RRP without having to do a full reinstall? (Reason 11, if it makes any difference.)

It makes a huge difference, since RRP wasn't even a thing until 11.

I don't think you can install it without reinstalling the full program, no. The full program isn't *that* big, though (at least it isn't 10GB, right?).

Did you empty the trash?

If you didn't try restoring the files from the bin...

good point—I just meant I’m not using R+. that’s what I’ll do, then. I wasn’t sure if maybe there was another way, but guess not. thanks!

that was the first place I looked. the only Reason-related files in there were for the AAX version though.

Sounds like your going to have to do a full install again then as I think that's the only way you get presented with the options.

Unless there are undocumented setup / install parameters
For example
Setup.exe /install vst aax au

Might be worth contacting support.
