Manual installation

When installing FabFilter Volcano 2, the installation program will try to copy the plug-in into the common VST, VST3 and RTAS plug-in folders (Windows) or the /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components, VST, VST3, and the /Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins folders (OS X) on your computer. In most cases, your favorite host will then find the plug-in right away.

On OS X, this is the only possible location for the Audio Units, VST2, VST3 and RTAS plug-ins (although you can install them in the user's Library folders under ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins as well).

On Windows, most hosts have their own VST and RTAS plug-ins folder. So if you are using Windows and your host does not recognize FabFilter Volcano 2, you need to locate the proper plug-ins folder for your host first (it is usually shown in the Preferences or similar dialog). Then, copy the file FabFilter Volcano 2.dll (VST) or FabFilter Volcano 2.vst3 (VST 3) from C:\Program Files\FabFilter\Volcano 2 to the plug-ins folder that you have found and restart the host so it can reload all its plug-ins. If you still have problems, contact FabFilter Support .
