If you’re struggling just like I did, because of the very limited support of Equalizer APO for VST plugins over the last few years. In this video specifically I show you – after months of research – how to create your Noise Profile through Reaper VST Plugin “ReaFir Standalone” for Equilizer APO.

The main reason I’ve done this, is that there is no video on YouTube (at least I couldn’t find one) that shows you how to do this, so I did it for myself – as I tend to forget what I did 5” ago – and maybe help someone else trying to do the same or similar thing with a VST Plugin.

To copy your the ReaFir Standalone "chunk data" you first need to navigate to this folder of your OBS Studio installation:

If you are on a portable installation like I am (and I strongly suggest you do run a portable instance of OBS Studio as taking a backup of your setup is as easy as just copying and pasting the whole folder to any other location you want), then navigate to your "scenes" folder in your custom installation location, mine for example is:

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Downloads\Software\obs-studio\config\obs-studio\basic\scenes

If you have a Standard OBS Studio installtion then your "scenes" folder is probably going to be located here:

%appdata%\obs-studio\basic\scenes[yourprofilescenesnamehere].json

which is the same as Users\YOURUSERNAME\Roaming\obs-studio\basic\scenes\ (use this one if you have any trouble with the above file path)

To paste your "chunk data" you need to navigate to this folder of your Equalizer APO installation (assuming that you used the default installation location):

C:\Program Files\EqualizerAPO\config
