How do I load up a VST instrument in my Logic / PTHD system?

NOTE: Before you begin the setup, DAE and Direct TDM must be enabled in your Audio Configuration and both drivers must be CURRENT!!!

1) double click the 1st Audio Track… which brings you to your Audio environment.
2) Go to the left hand corner parameter box and find the letters “Dev” which means device.. across from that it should DAE.
3) Click and hold on the letters DAE and choose the Audio device DTDM
4) Go the left hand parameter box again and find the letters “Cha” which mean channel… across from that will say TRACK 1
5) Click and hold on the letters TRACK 1 and choose INST 1

you have now set up your 1st Audio Instrument track…

6) Now go the I/0 section of that track and pull up a VST instrument
7) Once the VST is in place you must then go to an AUX track an in the INSERT column – click and hold and choose ESB
8) Once the ESB is in place, double click the blue ESB and it will bring you a DIGIRack Box… in the box there will a button that says “No link connected”
9) Push that button and choose the output that you want the ESB to use
10) Now go back to your Audio Instrument track that you created and on the output section of that track choose the AUX that you just created…
Now you should be able to monitor your plugin!!1
