You do this by ensuring you’ve exited out of all other applications and you’re sitting right on your desktop. Obviously, the first thing you want to do is go to your desktop and go into the Finder. Here’s my own guide for finding where Melodyne stores the files on macOS. It’s really not hard, as they’re just one step removed from the regular process. Putting that aside, I’m going to show you how to find the other plugin files as well including regular VST and the AAX files. It answers many of the questions that I’ve had about the software and even features step-by-step solutions for fixing common problems. If you haven’t already checked out the official Melodyne FAQ, I would do so because it’s probably one of the better ones out there. I’m using Melodyne 5 – Editor ( on Plugin Boutique/ Plugin Fox/ Thomann/ zZounds) but it ultimately doesn’t matter which version, because Melodyne stores its files in the same folders regardless of the edition. How to Find Where Melodyne Stores VST3, AU, and AAX Plugins Right now, there are 3 deals that stick out to me and the’re for Amazon Prime Day Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 If you can’t find them that way though, for macOS, go to Macintosh HD/Applications/Melodyne 5/Melodyne.app and on Windows, you have to go to C:\Program Files\Celemony\Melodyne 5\Melodyne.exe.īy the way, I’m always on the lookout for deals in the music industry (there’s usually something if you know where to look). Finding the Stand-Alone version is usually much simpler because you usually just have to go to your applications folder. This is where you find the Melodyne plugins for Windows and macOS. For Windows, you can find it in C:/Program Files/Common Files/VST3/Celemony/Melodyne.vst3.

Ultimately, it’s a matter of understanding how your computer’s directory works and where things are commonly stored. On top of that, I find the search bar rarely works the way it’s supposed to.

If you’ve never installed a plugin, finding where everything actually goes can be annoying.
