Everytime i try to export a vst, the vst doesnt work and i have the message "not a valid plugin"..

I'm newer too but my guesses to troubleshoot are:

1. Try exporting as an exe just to see if it works, if so - good.

2. When you export note whether you are exporting as instrument vs effect - it matters for your host.

3. What DAW are you on? i.e Cubase - you have to use the vst types properly.

What kinda VST is it that you made?

Sounds and oscillators? It's a VSTi and needs to go on a midi track as a VST which you route through your F11 VSTinstrument panel, select it, then assign your output channel to your vst. If it's a reverb and or effect try adding it to an audio track - it will show up in your 'inserts' panel. You can add effects vsts to instruments too so they are kinda interchangeable in certain scenarios but that's my guess is that you might be exporting the wrong type or reading as the wrong type.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
