After installing LABS sometimes FL Studio will not locate the plugins.
Step One:
Firstly, confirm in the file locations listed below that you have a labs(32bit).dll /VST 3 File and labs(64bit).dll /VST 3 file
C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3
C:\Program Files\VstPlugins
C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
If these files exist, open FL Studio. (If not, see this article for how to repair a library) Repair a LABS instrument to generate Plugin files.
Step Two:
In the menu bar, click on Options and select File Settings.
A pop-up window will appear showing Browse Extra Search Folders.
Click on a folder icon located beneath the VST Plugins Extra Search Folder and select the install location of your VST plug-ins. (these are listed above)
Once added, click Manage Plugins. (See above screenshot)
Ensure each VST location is in the Plugin Search Path.
Click Find Plugins. (See above screenshot)
After this process, LABS will now show in the Installed section of the Plugin Database.

i have the instruments installed, but i can only see 2 of them inside the Labs's plugin in FL studio, any ideas on how to fix it?
I installed the LABS Music Box in my Image-Line\FL Studio 20\Plugins\VST\Spitfire Audio - Labs folder and the samples, presets etc are there. The LABS plugin is also in my Installed in the Plugin Database. However, I can't seem to access the LABS Music Box, nor does the LABS plugin show anything. What's wrong?
Hi, I'm not very good with computers.
I have a mac and am using FL Studio 20, I installed the spitfire thing and have downloaded a few of the LABS instruments but am struggling to understand how to put it into FL Studio.
In the settings where it says install location the VST2 is in
- Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST
And VST3 is in
- Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST
My apologies if all this information is necessary. These instructions seem to confuse me and I would be very grateful if you could help me put these plug-ins into FL Studio 20
