I can’t find the El Capistan plug-in within my DAW
If you can’t find your El Capistan plug-in in your DAW, you might need to have your DAW rescan for plug-ins.
Pro Tools:
- Close Pro Tools.
- Verify that the plug-in is installed in the correct location. Pro Tools comes with its own Plugins folder that must be used as the location for the plug-in.
- Re-open Pro Tools. The DAW will automatically scan for new plug-ins at start up.
Logic:
- Open the Logic Pro drop down menu from the top left of the DAW.
- Select Preferences from the drop down options.
- Under the Preferences drop down, select Plug-in Manager.
- In the Plug-in Manager, select Strymon from the Manufacturer list on the left.
- Once the Strymon folder is open, select El Capistan from the list.
- Press the Reset & Rescan Selection button.
- If still having trouble, you can also try enabling El Capistan manually by using this pathway: Logic Pro/Settings -> Plug In Manager-> Strymon -> use.
