3 There are a few steps to getting a VST going in Reaper.
* download the VST (which is often in a Zip file of some sort).
* extract the VST's .DLL file to a folder that you will use for them, e.g. 'vst plugins'.
* tell Reaper where to find this folder by going 'Options'/'Preferences'/'Plugins'/'VST'. Where it says 'Plugin path', click on 'Edit', then 'Add', then navigate to the folder in which you put the DLL. You can then click on 're-scan', but Reaper will do this next time you open it.
* you can then create a track, click on FX, and load up the plugin.
