You can browse for this location by clicking on the button with three dots on it or just type the path in directly. This will load the VSTs into the 'VST Plugin' list.
  4. Use the drop down VST plugin list to select your VST plugin and click OK.
  5. Your VST plugin will open in WavePad. You can still edit your waveform, and do whatever you would normally do in WavePad, except now what you hear is being processed by the new VST effect.To save the effect, you need to click the 'Apply' button on your effect.
