Finding Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components folder???

I am having the hardest time finding this folder...can someone please guide me in the right direction?
I tried using the Finder and Spotlight but to no avail.
Thanks!!

You may want to go to two different folders:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components (~ is your user folder)
To go to that folder, just open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components or ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components, and you will go to the folder

  • How to fix permissions in /Library/Audio/Plug-ins in Lion

    I noticed that very annoyingly, Lion comes with the following default permissions for /Library/Audio/Plug-ins:
    drwxr-xr-x  9 root  wheel  306 Oct  7 07:37 Plug-Ins
    That means that you the user cannot drag a plug-in in and out as you wish. What a pain in the butt!
    Simple fix:
    sudo chown -R myusername:wheel /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins
    sudo chmod -R 775 /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins
    Now it's like it should be: you own your own darn folder!
    Does anyone have a better way to do this? Like would you recommend just doing the chmod without the chown? Just curious. Also, I wonder why Apple made this curious modification to the system in Lion... it feels like they're increasing the level of restriction upon the owner of the computer from being able to use it themselves.

    1.Click on finder
    2. Look for GO menu at the top of the screen
    3. Click on it and select go to folder option
    4. Paste  or type /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components there
    5. Navigate to this folder
    6. Copy and paste the component to that folder. It should ask if you want to replace the original file(files). Click on yes
    Hope this will help

  • Audio Plug-ins for CS6.0.3 Premier Pro

    I am an audio editing novice. I am interested in using the equilizer audio effect to lower some high pitched sounds and enhance some middle frequency sounds. The equilizer effect does not seem to have  a tight enough bandwith for my edits. The edits overlap.  Does anyone know if the Waves Q10 Native plug-in will work in PremPro. Any information is appreciated. thank you Jean

    Hi Hangtime,
    Thanks for the reply (I had looked on bulletsandbones,and couldn't find the link, so thankyou).
    However, the 'Computer Music' magazine that I have got some plug ins from says that most of the "programs are presented as installers. You just double-click on the installer icon and the application does the rest".
    Does this mean that one uses the installer first, and then follows the bulletsandbones advice (which is "Drop the Audio Units (AU) Plug-In into your Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ folder on your Mac (this is at the Root level of your hard drive)?"

  • Audio plug ins (stillwell audio) appear even after deleted

    I had some stillwell audio plug ins, they didnt ned them anymore so i deleted them, did a system search and deleted all the files that have to relate to stillwell plug ins, then went on to ableton and logic(I installed logic after the start of the iusse) and they still appeared and are still fully functional, so I went on searching for these files even deeper and couldent find them, they dont exist when i search them. so i contacted stillwell customer service and they listed how to find the files and i did all what they said and it still shows up, so now im asking the apple community, DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHATS GOING ON!!
    thanks, teliik

    Hello TELIIK,
    It sounds like you just did a search for the plug-ins, but I found an article that tells you exactly where to look for these plug-ins:
    Finding Audio Units plug-ins on your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1295
    The important part of this article states:
    The Apple Audio Units plug-ins are built into the operating system and do not appear as discrete files. Plug-ins from other manufacturers appear as individual components on your hard disk. They may be found in two places:
    /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
    ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components ("~" represents your home directory.)
    The ~/Library is a hidden folder in Lion and Mountain Lion.  You can find instructions for accessing it here:
    OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11395
    The Library folder is hidden. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.
    I hope this helps you locate those those plug-ins!
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • Disable audio plug-ins when starting FinalCut

    Because I use Logic Pro I have a lot of AU plug ins, FX and instruments... and FinalCut crash while open because it doesn't recognize some plug-ins. How can I disaeble the audio plug ins when lauching? Danks for your help

    Remove all of your audio filters from their folder, and replace them one by one. Launch FCP again and again adding one each time until you find the culprit.
    They can be found in Mac HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components, and i think also User>Library>Audio>Plugins folder.
    Just move them to a separate folder o your desktop util you figure out which one is troublesome.
    Good luck,
    Joni

  • Audio Plug-Ins Won't Let FCP Open

    Does anybody know how to disable audio plug-ins within FCP? I have a Waves bundle for use with Pro Tools on the same computer. The Waves plugs are authorized with an iLok. If that iLok isn't present, FCP closes during launch because it can't open the waves plugs.

    It's really that simple.
    Sorry to resurrect this thread, but its really *not that simple*.
    You see FCP will load 3rd party AU's that are in a shared folder - Library -> Audio -> Plug-Ins -> Components. If I want the AU's to show up in Soundtrack for example they have to be in that folder, but then FCP will load them as well.
    I have a Powercore that I don't want to use in FCP, but want to use in Soundtrack. It causes FCP's load time to triple and it's really annoying. I've found no trace of a plug-ins folder that is just for soundtrack either.
    I suppose that AudioUnit Manager will do the trick but I really did not want to install yet another app to sort this out but that seems to be the only option at this time.

    Hi B
    Really sure You are looking into Your "user" folder ?
    In this there is a folder with in my case "my account" eg "Bengt"
    in this ther IS a library folder
    and in this ther should be an iMovie folder. If not I would make one
    and into this put a folder "Plug-ins" and in this put Your plug-ins.
    Restart Your Mac and open iMovie and see if it found the new plug-ins.
    Yours Bengt W

  • No audio plug ins?

    I'm Googling, but I can't seem to find anything about plug ins for audio in FCPX.  Do they not exist?  Like if I want to add echo, or make a voice sound like it's coming out of a telephone.  That kind of stuff.  I think this was available for FCP 7.

    Great video here by Micael Wohl on the Plugins, including the Logic Pro plugins.

  • HT202447 Drive Utility: Permissions differ on "Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin"; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are drwxr-xr-x .

    I downloaded & installed Java 7 for Mountain Lion 10.8.3 from http://www.java.com/download/mac_download.jsp . Upon running Verify Permissions in Drive Utility I receive the following messgae: Permissions differ on “Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are drwxr-xr-x . Disk Utilities is unable to repair the permissions error.

    Sorry, what I meant is I was getting the message "missing plugin", so I thought I had to repair Permissions and every time I tried I got that message “Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are drwxr-xr-x", but then I followed Java instructions. I went back to Java 6 and finally I could access my bank.
    I came across this article on the internet:
    For the second time in a month, Apple has effectively blacklisted the current version of the Java Web plugin on OS X. The block comes just days after it was discovered that the latest version of the plugin, which had been rushed out to patch a critical vulnerability, can still be exploited despite its heightened security mechanisms.
    Apple has worked to distance itself from Java in recent years. The company deprecated its own version of the Java virtual machine for OS X, instead deferring development to Oracle itself. The browser plugin in particular has become a common vector for malware attacks, and Apple removed the Java Web plugin from recent versions of OS X last year. Those needing the plugin must install it separately.
    I even tried "About Java for OS X 2013-003", but it also didn't work.
    That's why I decided to uninstalled Java 7 and installed 6 again and it worked.
    Thank you anyway.
