| If you're using the 64-bit version of Live, make sure you install only the 64-bit version of Sylenth1. Use the 32-bit version of Sylenth1 only if you're using the 32-bit version of Live. In order to properly load and register Sylenth1, open Ableton in 'Administrator Mode'. To do so, right-click Ableton and choose 'Run as Administrator' and click 'Yes'. When Ableton opens, select 'Options' in the menu bar and choose 'Preferences'. In the preferens window select the 'File Folder' tab. Under 'Plug-in Sources' make sure the option 'Use VST Plug-In Custom Folder' is switched On. Click 'Browse' and select the VST folder where you installed Sylenth1. Now Sylenth1 should be listed in the Plug-ins list. Double-click 'Sylenth1' to load it. The full version of Sylenth1 will ask you to activate Sylenth1 when it's started for the first time.

Ableton comes with an impressive, diverse and extremely usable set of instruments, effects and samples. However, at some point you will almost certainly want to install 3rd party plug ins to get that sound you need.
Luckily for you, the process of adding 3rd party plug-ins on a Mac is extremely straight forward. It is literally a case of copying the plug in files into the Mac plug in directory. Once this is done Ableton will automatically find your plug-ins ready to use.
Where is the Ableton Plug ins folder?
The truth is there isn’t one specifically for Ableton, it’s a shared plug ins folder in you Mac Library. By default the folders used to contain plug-ins, and where you need to copy them to, are:
(for AU) Library > Audio > Plug ins > Component
(for VST) Library > Audio -> Plug ins > VST

Setting a custom plug in folder
In Ableton there is also the ability to set a custom location for your plug ins folder. This is handy if you have multiple DAWs installed on the same Mac, or if you just want to use a different hard disc, perhaps a solid state to run them from.
In the Ableton top menu go to:
Ableton patches download. Preferences > File Folder > VST Plug-In Custom Folder

Make sure to enable the feature, and you can now copy plug ins to any location you like.
