Installing Libraries Using the Steinberg Download Assistant

If your VST Sound libraries come with a Steinberg content set or a Steinberg plug-in, they are installed using the Steinberg Download Assistant.

Procedure

  1. In the Steinberg Download Assistant, click Download.
  2. When the download is complete, click Open to start the installation.
  3. In the dialog, specify where you want to install the libraries and whether you want to keep the installation files.

    • Select Install to Default Location to save the libraries in the default location specified in the Steinberg Library Manager.

    • Select Install to Path to install the libraries in a specific folder.

      You can enter the path to the folder in the field on the right. To keep your system clean and uncluttered, we recommend that you create a dedicated folder for all your libraries and then create subfolders for each new library. You can also create multiple library folders on different hard disks.

    • Activate Keep Installation Files to keep the downloaded installation files. This is useful for backup purposes.

      Note

      Installation files can require a considerable amount of hard disk space. Therefore, it is advisable to save them on a hard disk dedicated for backup files.

  4. Click OK.

Result

The libraries in the selected folder are registered to the MediaBay of your Steinberg plug-ins and DAW, and can be used the next time that you open the plug-in or the DAW.
