Stella

Fix it with Stella · Music production

Half your plugins vanished? They're still there.

When FL Studio, Ableton, or Reaper loses plugins after an update, it's nearly always a search-path or scan problem — not lost files. Stella finds where your VSTs actually live, fixes the paths, quarantines the one plugin crashing the scan, and rebuilds your plugin database.

Try this prompt

“Ableton stopped seeing half my VSTs after the update. Find them and get them back in the browser.”

You: Ableton stopped seeing half my VSTs after the update. Find them and get them back in the browser. Stella: They're still on disk — the search path dropped a folder, and one plugin is crashing the scan. You: Fix the path, quarantine the crasher. Stella: Paths restored, crasher set aside, plugin database rebuilt. The rest are back in the browser.
