Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I just did a fresh install of Logic and don't remember which folder the Plugins go. There seems to be more than one, and I just want to be sure.

Thanks

Chaz

Hi Chaz,
Either;
'harddrive'>Library>Audio>Plugins>Components (for system level)
or
'harddrive'>Users>'yourusername'>Library>Audio>Plugins>Components (for user level)

Although (unless there is a very good reason not to) I'd strongly suggest keeping all your 
plugs in one or other, not both. You can get some very annoying issues if you have the 
same plugin in both folders.

Hi Mike,

Can you give us some example of some annoying issues. Just curious.

Thanks

I agree with what Mike said. However I would add a few comments. 
- "Components" means Audio Units. So if you have VST plugs they go in another 
folder in the plugins which is a sister folder to components. 
- Also don't forget that in addition to there being two places for plugins 
(harddisk and username), there are also two places for presets for those plugs. 
The automatic installers for third party plugs seem to use both, or one or the 
other. 
- I seem to recall the Logic manual saying that Logic searches in three 
places for plugs and pre-sets.
- I create another folder called "unused components" to get rid of junky 
stuff, shareware, or things I never use so they don't clutter up menu, and slow 
down AU validation.

Its a bit of headache at time. Especially if you create your own presets and 
use different computers and want to consolidate them. Maybe they need to have 
a general AU installer/manager.
