How to Use Waves Plugins when Using a Custom VST Folder. Last updated on: 4:42:07 AM. All Waves plugins are installed to a folder named 'Plug-Ins V12' (or V11/V10/V9, whichever version is installed on your device), which is inside the Waves folder, located on your system hard drive. REAPER Plugins is a bad place to install 3rd party plugins, this folder is for Reaper plugins and extensions. Search for plugins will fail if their installers create subfolders below that folder (so you have to enter all the paths in preferences) amongst other, minor problems. A good share of 'Reaper can't find my plugin' problems come from that. A quick video tutorial on installing VST plugins to Reaper!If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, enjoy! If.program files Reaper Plugins doesn't exist, you have a problem;). That's the directory Reaper puts it's dynamic libraries in, like the timestretch dlls, the MIDI editor, mp3 and ogg codecs, 3rd party extensios (eg SWS and FNG). It's not meant for FX plugins. There is a folder FX in there, where Reaper puts all it's inbuilt Rea-plugins.

REAPER user Khatcha send me an email today with a tip to help those on Windows that found some of their VST plugins were tiny after the REAPER 6.0 upgrade.

I’d like to give a useful tip concerning the version 6.xx on Windows only and it’s about the issue with plugins scaling on 4K monitors (or probably less).

With this recent version of Reaper, all my plugins were drastically shrunk and it was impossible to work with such a small UI resolution.

Free vst like stereo tool. I tried to find the problem with the Advanced UI/ System Tweaks on Reaper but that didn’t help me.

I even tried to change some parameters in the Theme development options but it was unsuccessful.

I finally found the issue, I’ll give to you so you can spread it better than me :

Reaper Vst Path

  • Go to the properties of the file “reaper.exe” (ALT+ENTER shortcut or Right-Click on the file and select “Properties”) and go to the “Compatibility” tab.
  • Click on “Change Hi DPI Settings” and you will have 3 options: Application, System and System Enhanced. Switch to System or System Enhanced et voila!

Of course, keep in mind that REAPER 6 is very new and these things are likely to change and improve in the coming months. Reporting your experience to the official forum with your system info, problem plugins, settings and workarounds is the only way things can improve for all.

The 6.02 update has some changes in this regard, Justin sent me a message on Twitter.

6.02 has a per-plug-in setting to allow the floating FX to be hidpi-unaware. Or you can go to preferences/general/advanced settings, and change the HiDPI Awareness mode to “Unaware” (which makes the behavior match 5.x).
