bcfromfl Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hi everyone -- Prompted by a couple posts over in the Control Room, I tried downloading and installing the Cyanide 2.0 and Valhalla Echo plugins. However, I don't know how to finish the install to make them available in Logic. Thanks! -Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chellstrom Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 If they don't have their own installers, drag them to: Library>Audio>PlugIns>Components or ~Library>Audio>PlugIns>Components (where "~" means your home folder) And obviously make sure you download and use the AU version.

bcfromfl Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Thanks -- I'll try that! -Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Jackson Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) ~Library>Audio>PlugIns>Components (where "~" means your home folder) I always find this funny. Many people on this site refer to the Home Folder with the ~ symbol and then explain what the ~ symbol means since not everyone knows. ~Library>Audio>PlugIns>Components (where "~" means your home folder) Home Folder>Library>Audio>PlugIns>Components [Edit]Forgot to include Library in the path (corrected).

bcfromfl Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 I really do hate Macs. I'm a PC guy, and have struggled now for two years to learn this operating system. Sorry for being slow. I followed your instructions above...inserted the plugins into the appropriate folder, but they still do not come up in Logic. There is no installer with either plugin. What am I doing wrong? -Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 You will need to restart Logic. Assuming you have the .component files in the right place, you should see Logic scanning and validating them on startup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All overly complicated, Bulgarian English. Users/"you"/Audio/Plugins/Components. Why call it "home" folder? Because it has a house for an icon? Nobody lives in a folder. It is your User folder, because it is in the Users folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadBreak360 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 What sub folder do these plug ins go to? I have put Camel Phat to Home Folder>Library>Audio>PlugIns>Components and I cant seem to see it in logic.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Camelphat is 32 bit only and won't show up in LP X. It's old, like this topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipfunk Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I realize this is 6-9 years old but I still have an issue with trying to install Component files. I've tried iMac HD/Users/'me'/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components I've tried iMac HD/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components (I see my plugins here so I'm assuming this is the right folder but when I put my component here it still doesn't show up) Of note, I also have... iMac HD/Library/Audio/Plugins/Components (no dash in Plugins, there's two folders) I've downloaded a component from air windows.com and have copied it to each one of these folders. I don't see it anywhere. I am quitting logic and restarting it. This is something that's always eluded me. I just shotgun AUs or components everywhere and sometimes it works and I'm not sure which option was successful. I'm sure by the end of the day I'll forget how the toaster works the way I'm going. Any help would be great. Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Restart your computer, not Logic. (It's a quirk/bug of recent versions of OSX (you never used to have to do this in Sierra or earlier).) Then valid plugins should show up in Logic. Don't have one plugin in both the root and the users plugins folder - pick one only (it doesn't usually matter which too much, stick to the root library for now.)
