How do i import 3rd party VST plug-ins into Logic Express 8???

I downloaded some vst plug-ins for logic express online somewhere and the instructions to install them says to go to library/audio/plug-ins/vst and to just drop them in there. i do that, but then when i drop them in there and then start up Logic, they're no where to be found in the program
is there another way you are suppose to import vst's?

You can't use VST plugins straight in Logic. The format recognized is AU (Audio Units) but there is a workaround using a program called VST to AU Adapter.

How do I install third-party VST plug-ins in Logic Pro??

I am mystified - nowhere in the manual can I find any instructions for installing other plug-ins. Surely it is very simple - but then so am I... Can anyone help?

You can use a VST/AU converter such as this:

Granted, it's not guaranteed, not supported by Apple and not free buuuut, it's worked for me with Ruby Tube, a VST plug that I really couldn't live without.

3rd party AU plug ins vs Logic Plug ins

has any one got any suggestions of any 3rd party plug ins or instruments that compare or better the Logic ones, i am very happy indeed with what i have at the moment but feel some of the sounds i am getting from the synths are lacking a bit of warmth, maybe i need to dig a little deeper or maybe there are better things out there, obviously the ES2 is a killer piece of software but some of the pads that i am creating are not up to scratch. Is this just me? am i not adding enough plug ins to the synth or is it just not as deep as people say it is? i hear waves are a good too, discuss..............Thanks

3rd party stuff eh?
Spectrsonics makes stellar AU plug ins. Can't wait for the aforementioned atmosphere to come out as UB this fall.
Also mentioned before, Reason is just a fun program that is very powerful and inspiring.
Odd that many people mentioned the NI products. I would, but after getting FM8, I just can't say I am an NI fan.
FM8 sound great! The software is powerfull, the UI is easy to use, the flexibility is enormous, but I can't recall all the setting of patches with Channel strip settings. I was quite disappointed as I wanted to Use FM8 to give me that DX-7 Rhodes sound to use for live gigs, but recalling a performance channel strip didn't load the envelopes, and the sound just didn't work. I emailed NI and asked what the deal was, and they told me it was a bug, sorry. The only workaround they could give me was to load the patch from FM8 it's self.
I still use FM8 for recordings, but never for live use. I also decided not to try any new NI products fearing more incompatibilities with how I work.
NI's stuff does sound great, but with tweaking I can get most of my other synths to match it.

How ou where install third party vst plug

Hello,
does somebody know how or where install third parti vst plug ins?
thank you

Dan,
Did you read my post above yours?
Logic Pro X does not use VST plugins.. It only uses 64bit Audiounit (AU) plugins..
and....
To install most plugins you simply use the installer that came with the plugin... or follow the instructions that came with the plugin..
Cheers..

Plug-Ins for Logic Express 9

Does anyone know of any sites where one can download plug-ins for Logic Express 9 (either for free or for purchase)? Also, I know that one can use sound fonts (.au) with GarageBand --do these also work in Logic Express 9 and, if so, do they need to be reinstalled for Logic or do both programs read the same source files?
Thank you!

To piggy back on previous posts, I would definitely pursue Native Instruments. While some may of the plug-ins may seem a bit on the pricey side, you will certainly get your money's worth. If you're looking for strong lead and bass sounds, I would encourage you to check out Massiv - it's my go-to plug-in of choice. I believe there is even a limited demo to try if you want to play around before purchasing.
Hope this helps.

Can you import software instruments and plug-ins from Logic Pro to GB

Hello,
I purchased Logic 7 Pro and I find it to be way too much for me. Is there a way to take the software instruments from Logic to GB? I am not even sure Logic comes with more software instruments than GB. Do they both rely on the Jam Packs for additional instruments.
Is there anything else GB can borrow from Logic. I know I can move the sound effects aif files and use them. Just wondering about other plug-ins and the like.
Thanks!!
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Here's how you get past the static interruption.
Make your software track and ignore the static interruption. Its not being recorded into the midi information.
Then export the track out and reimport it to a new track. Do this twice. Your export/import WILL have static in it but since it was random your two tracks will not have the static in identical places.
Edit out the static in track one by replacing it with a static-less portion from track two. You'll now have a complete loop with no static interruption.
xs4sis. The cool thing about the demos is you don't have to program anything just use the presets. Who CAN program those **** synths anyway?
There are some demos that have a hundred presets to them. I love that!

Fab Four Plug Ins into Logic

I just purchased the Fab Four software suite today and when I open Logic Pro 8 I cannot access any of the sounds. How come? What do I need to do to access the plug ins when I connect my guitar, etc to my audio interface?

As far as I understand, Fab Four is not an effect plug-in (apart from the ADT emulation): it's a virtual instrument.
Hence, no way of using it with your guitar, you'll have to open a software instrument track and play the sounds with a MIDI keyboard. Check out the video tutorials here: http://www.eastwestsamples.com/details.php?cd_index=1027

Lost bfd/plug ins from Logic Express

this is potentially a stupid question..
I seem to have lost the instrument plugins from Logic Express.
Recently installed LE 7.2 and originally the instrument plugins were there and working.
However I since installed fxpansion BFD and somehow can not see either that or the logic instruments.
I have opened and checked the AU manager and rescanned bfd.
BFD works as a standalone app.
Library/audio/components folder seems to have the au plugins.
The signal processers are all there in the channel insert but not the instruments or the fxpansion application.
any ideas anyone ?

I am thinking this is a Logic specific problem now.
I cannot see the logic instruments in the channel inserts either, although the effects and signal processors are there.
where should the EFM 1, ES m etc folders be on the drive?
asuming they are in the right place what settings could affect their showing up in the insert menu??

How do you install 3rd party plug-in in Photoshop CC

Our fine customer service/tech support wouldn't help me with my question/problem because 3rd party plug-ins are not an Adobe product.... Silly, isn't it since all I want to know is how do you install "any" plug-ins into Adobe Photoshop CC. Can anyone with any sanity here offer a solution?
Thanks.

It could be complex depending on your OS and user ID permissions. Adobe Photoshop CC Mac version only supports new Mac with Intel 64bit processors, Photoshop CC windows supports both 64 bit systems and 32 bit systems. If you have a 64 bit system both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of Photoshop are installed so windows has both a 32 bit Plug-in Folder and a 64 Bit Plug-in Folder. Prior to CC Photoshop Preference let you add you own Plug-in folder tree to Photoshop Plug-in folder tree. I still install Plug-in that way however I have to add the link manually for adobe removed that option from its Preferences UI in Photoshop CC. I always have more the one versions of Photoshop and all installed versions use the same Plug-in, Actions and Scripts that I add to Photoshop. There is One exception. The Way the Image Processor Pro plug-in script is coded expects it and it default XML file to be installed into Adobe's folder so I made and exception for it. You user ID need to have permission to modify and add files to system folders if you want to install plug-ins into the folders that Adobe created for third party plug-ins to be installed into.
Adobe Photoshop CC installer creates a folder in Photoshop version ...\Plug-ins\... so on my Window 7 64 bit system there are two folders
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\" and
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Plug-ins\"
All I add to these are the Adobe ScriptListener.8li Plug-in and a link to my Plug-ins folder.

How to PERMANENTLY get rid of 3rd party Plug-ins in Logic pro 9.

Hi, im trying to get rid of some 3rd party plug-ins on logic, but it only looks like i can disable them. (sweeping them under the rug isn't helpful) This is a problem because i have one version of a plug-in that doesn't work and im gonna get another of the same version (with expansions) to replace it so im concerned that the 2 versions will conflict with one another and i wont get the expansions i payed for. Anyone have a solution to permanently get rid of plug-ins? -Tim

The component files of the third party plugins are in:
Local Drive\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components
You can make a backup of a given component (say in a desktop folder) and replace the component with other version etc.
You can use [Pacifist|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/mac/12743] as well to install/extract a component from a given installation pack etc.
Edit: Sorry Immo I duplicated your reply solutions hitting posting a few sec. later...

JDI - Import 3rd party vendor code?

I'm currently investigating JDI and how we're going to implement it. I think we're most likely going to start with a 2+ environment, with perhaps moving to 3 soon after.
I have a question regarding 'vendor branches'. Using a tool such as CVS or Subversion, it was a simple task to import 3rd party source into a branch, and use that branch for builds. Does JDI have a similar capability?
My guess it that you would create a workspace and import the vendor code into that workspace. Or, would you create a track for the vendor code, and specify a dependancy on that track? This would imply a Scenario 3 environment.
Any guidance you have would be appreciated.

When a third party order is saved for items to be delivered by the vendor, a purchase requisition is created in the background, which is then converted to purchase order. In your case you have CMIRs for various customers neverthless if the Material is shipped only by the vendor then you can have the Item usage in the CMIRs and have a item category determination configured for this combination, which will determine a third party item category for these CMIR material when is used in third party orders, that triggers a purchase requisition.

How can i get 3rd party plugins for logic such as massive or nexus?

how can i get 3rd party plugins for logic such as massive or nexus?

Buy the 64bit AU versions from their respective online stores...
Massive can be found at;

Nexus 2 (as Nexus 1 will not work with Logic Pro X) from;

However, I suspect, based on the fact you could have simply searched on Google.. that buying them wasn't what you had in mind.................

VST plug-ins and Final Cut Pro

Hi,
is it possible to use VST plug-ins with Final Cut Pro 6 and if it is possible, where should I install it and where should I look for it in FCP? I talk about audio filter - limiter.

No. VST plugins are not natively supported in FCP. FCP supports only the Audio Unit (AU) architecture.
Is the built-in Compressor/Limiter plug-in no good for your needs? Or how about bouncing your audio out to SoundTrack Pro and working on it there?
If you have specific VST plugins that you need to use in FCP, then you should take a look at the VST to AU Adapter 2.0 from www.fxpansion.com
its worth noting that Audio Unit plugins within FCP, do not support custom GUI's, you'll get it, but it'll be ugly!
