RIGHT Place to install Vst+Au PLUG-ins on a Mac

Hi,
I m using Mac since a half year. within the last 2 weeks I decided to switch all my music-production stuff on my mac pro.

First I added a VST / AU folder for all my plug-ins


HD / programms / VST+AUs

But this morning I installed a view more and now the whole folder is gone.

I had trouble before that installing the rob papen blue as a VST instrument. In ableton the Blue was shows as an AU-Instrument and I could not open it - of course as I installed it as VST. All the time I got the information that my mac could not open that AU-unit.

Later my whole folder was gone.

obviously I have to install everything again...


My Question is now:

Where do you install your PLug-INs on your Mac ? is there anything I have to be patient on ?


thanks

Plug-ins ALWAYS into:

Mac Hd > Library > Audio >Plug-ins

Vst in Vst
AU in Component

NOWHERE else if you want it to work properly

yeah mate it's not the same as for the PC, you have to let the AUs install automatically, then the sequencer (whatever one you're using) will scan the location: Mac handles it, not like PCs where you have to go to so much effort putting them all in one folder

hi,
thanks

I found that folder now!

The Case is now that I deleted the Rop Papen Files and re-installed the Plug-In. It is of course now in the VST folder like Lolo stated.

But still in ableton I get the informatin that "Mac can not open the AU Blue" - how can I change that in ableton ?

I already linked the right folder under the preferences, but still the mistake is present in ableton.


I guess the Rop Papen is installed somewhere where all the AU-files are installed. Can anyone tell where the AU-Plug-Ins might be located ??


thanks
