Below are some notes about how to proceed. If FL Studio is in Rosetta 2 mode, then Apple handles both VST and AU format plugins. Apple will handle AU format plugins and these do not need to be bridged.

In short, VST plugins developed for Intel CPUs must be run inside a process-bridge when used under Apple Silicon. You can read about FL Studio Apple Silicon support here. When FL Studio is used on an Apple Silicon CPU it can run in one of two modes. IMPORTANT NOTES for macOS Apple Silicon CPUs and VST Plugins: AND along with the ' Rescan previously verified plugins' option, ensures plugins are correctly identified after plugin updates. the Channel Rack > Menu > Add one option, Channel Rack + button and Main menu > Add option, FX slot menu etc. Verify scans ensure only the correct plugin types are shown at the various 'add plugin' locations in FL Studio. This correctly sorts plugins into their Installed > Effects or Generators category.

Scan for installed plugins - After installing the plugin/s, we recommend the ' Find installed plugins + Verify plugins' option.

Only use the Plugin Manager to add additional plugin install and search locations if you have a specific and valid reason. NOTE: The best manual method is always to install to one of the default plugin locations for your OS.

Install the plugin - We strongly recommend you run the plugin's installer and use its default install location OR for VST/AU plugins without an installer, copy the files to the appropriate folder set in the Plugin Manager > Plugin search paths field.
