Key Features
The Steinberg VST Live 3 Full Version is an advanced live production system for musicians, bringing audio, MIDI, lighting and video together in one software environment to manage complex stage shows, solo performances, and online streams. VST Live 3 helps you prepare and control every element of your performance.
Steinberg VST Live 3’s integrated sequencer keeps backing tracks, virtual instruments, and visual effects synchronised with your setlist. Meanwhile, Video Director lets you automate camera changes at specific points in each song, with direct OBS integration for multi-camera streaming. You can even manage DMX lighting directly from the mixer, giving you convenient access to intensity, mute, and solo controls.
For performers, the dedicated Monitor Mixer provides flexible control over in-ear and wedge mixes, while multiple lyric and chord tracks allow each musician to view their own parts. Plus, direct Cubase and Nuendo project importing makes preparing existing productions for the stage straightforward.

VST Live 3 brings your entire live production into one environment, letting you coordinate backing tracks, MIDI sequences, virtual instruments, lighting, and video alongside your setlist. Its integrated sequencer keeps musical and visual elements aligned, helping you maintain consistent timing throughout each performance.
You can also import projects directly from Cubase or Nuendo, making it easier to adapt existing studio sessions for live use. With support for multiple video tracks and synchronised DMX lighting, you can program changes to accompany specific musical moments. This gives you detailed control over your show without having to manage each production element separately.
Take control of your live visuals with VST Live 3's integrated Video Director. This feature lets you automate camera switching using dedicated video automation tracks, so you can program different shots to appear at precise moments during a song. For example, you could switch to a guitarist during their solo without manually operating a camera controller.
The software supports multiple real-time video sources, limited by your system's processing capabilities, with options for recording footage to video tracks. Direct OBS integration also lets you stream your programmed multi-camera production online, while Steinberg's separate, free MixKey software can automatically adjust audio levels between VST Live 3 and OBS.
VST Live 3 introduces a dedicated Monitor Mixer, giving you control over monitor sends for in-ear monitoring systems and stage wedges. You can create different monitoring configurations and switch between mixes instantly, making it easier to accommodate individual performers' listening requirements.
The included Flux and Trip synthesiser modules expand your available sound palette, while Groove Agent SE provides additional instrument options for your productions. Shared modules also allow you to use loaded module instances across your project, rather than recreating them for individual songs. Plus, input channels are now visible directly within the mixer, giving you more convenient access to your audio setup.
Managing lighting and performer information is more straightforward with VST Live 3. Improved DMX functionality brings lighting controls directly into the mixer, complete with dedicated intensity faders, mute, and solo functions. This lets you adjust your lighting alongside your audio without constantly switching between different control areas.
Multiple lyric and chord tracks also give individual musicians access to information tailored to their parts. Lead singers, backing vocalists, and instrumentalists can each view relevant content on separate devices, reducing unnecessary information on stage. Combined with synchronised lighting automation and improved chord and lyric track functionality, these features help keep everyone coordinated throughout the set.
