VST Plug-ins: From PC to Mac.

I have several midi pieces written using a PC and VST plugins. Is there any way to convert the Windows VST plugins into useable OS X plugins? I have several sounds that I can't afford to lose.
Thanks.

Man that is an ancient message.
The last time I saw that was using Mac clients connected to a Microsoft (Windows) Server running 'Services for Macintosh' which included the ability to act as an AppleShare compatible file server. Because Microsoft have a different security system for defining accounts which includes the 'domain' as well as username, the standard Mac AFP client did not know how to send that information.
Therefore Apple made it possible to installed a plugin in the form of a UAM or User Authentication Mechanism which added the ability to send this information to login to the fileserver.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/101747
However Microsoft have long discontinued 'Services for Macintosh' and now the only way for a Mac to connect to a standard Windows Server is via SMB not AFP. I don't believe this plugin is available to download anymore.

Adobe CC just installed Acrobat DC. Where are my plug-ins from Acrobat 11? I use PitStop Professional but it is not in the tools panel. Do I need to reinstall?

Adobe CC just installed Acrobat DC. PitStop Professional plug-in is not installed in Acrobat DC tools panel. The plug-in is the only thing that exists in my Acrobat 11 folder. Do I need to reinstall? How can I use existing plug-ins from Acrobat 11 in Acrobat DC?

Hello Randall,
Please refer to this Help document with steps to resolve the plugin compatibility issue: Acrobat DC removed Acrobat XI and plugin compatibility | Mac, Windows

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!

Premiere Pro CS4 won't boot - keeps crashing when trying to load VST plug-ins

This problem has been a thorn in my side for ages - after a recent software update to some of my VST plug-ins, Premiere Pro will no longer boot. I have to re-name the VSTPlugins folder to a different name. It used to be that it would scan the VSTPlugins folder, crash a bunch of times, then eventually boot up because it figured out that it should ignore that folder. It no longer does this, so I have to manually rename the VSTPlugins folder every time I run premiere.
Obviously, this is a hassle. And is extremely easy to fix from a programming point of view: stop scanning my VSTPlugins folder!!!!!
Is there a workaround for this, or a way to tell Premiere to stop scanning that folder for plug-ins?
Thanks,
rgames

Hi Bill - as I mentioned in my first post, the behavior you describe is what used to happen: keep launching PPro until it finally boots (pretty lame solution, by the way).
However, as I also mentioned, that no longer works. PPro keeps crashing on the same two or three .DLL's and they never get "blacklisted" because it tries again on the next boot. These .dll's were recently updated, so I'm guessing that's why it's an issue now. I was able to boot-crash-boot-crash ... boot-crash-boot before, but not since the .dll's were updated.
The coding solution is so simple I can't believe it's never been implemented: give the option to stop scanning the VSTPlugins folder! Seriously, this is probably 2 minutes of coding for someone who knows where to look in the code.
Anybody have a fix for this problem?
Thanks,

Transferring GB plug-ins from computer to computer

I recently transferred all my Garage Band loops and plug-ins from my old G4 to my new iMac. Unfortunately the plug-ins don't work. I have copied the .au components to the Library> Audio> Plug-Ins> Components folder but no success with the plug-ins.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

they're probably all PowerPC plug-ins, and not "universal". PPC plug-ins will not work on an intel mac.

Free Plug-ins from OnOne Software

Dave Cross posted a link to free Plug-ins from OnOne software on his blog this morning. Here is the link: http://davecross.blogspot.com/
I've downloaded them and they work fine with Photoshop, but PhotoFrame and PhotoTools are supposed to work with Lightroom too but so far I haven't been able to load them using File > Plug-in Manager. I can find them on my HD but all the files are greyed out.
Anybody can figure this out?
They say min. requirements for the Mac is 10.5 – but they installed and work fine in Photoshop CS 2, with 10.4.11.

Rene,
A couple of things.. I can't seem to find the Dave Cross plug-in? Where is it on Dave's site?
Also, as for showing up in LR. You're saying the one that they gave away.. Did you get the full suite (which should be Professional) or individual products, like PhotoFrame, PhotoTools, etc. If they were individual products, then yes, the Pro versions integrate with LR.

VST plug-ins not loaded at all Snow Leopard 10.6

Hi
I am using abelton live, and install waves 7 (does support snow leopard 10.6), and I don't see any recognition whatsoever for VST in premiere cs5
if I go inside the package of the application , i can see the plug-ins folder, but where is the "user" plug-ins folder.
on a Mac the folder is in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST
this is not the location where premiere is looking to load the VST, in the splash screen you don't see it loading Waves plug-ins for example.
does anyone know why / how to truely enable VST on CS5 Mac?
thanks
Ami

Arri,
Usually, PrPro will survey most of the system, and load all VST's found. However, three things can happen:
1.) the VST is loaded and can be used by PrPro (not sure if this is the case with your particular VST)
2.) the VST is loaded, but PrPro cannot use it. There is most often a one-time message to this effect. The VST will NOT appear anywhere in PrPro.
3.) PrPro attempts to load the VST, but cannot. At this point, in later versions, a blacklist file is written, and each such VST will be added, when one launches. The launch will fail, until all such VST's are "blacklisted." When that blacklist has been completed, PrPro will launch fine, ignoring each of those problem VST's.
Just not sure about your particular VST. Does it say that it will work in PrPro? Not all will.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - seems that there are a couple of threads on Wave7.dll, but do not recall the specifics. I'd suggest a Search of this, and maybe the CS4 and Earlier fora, and some reading.

Hi Joe ..
You can disable plug-ins.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Deselect: Allow Plug-ins
To remove internet plug-ins is another process altogether.

How do you remove plug-ins from a track?

This might sound stupid, but I don't know how to remove plug-ins from a track.
Not only bypassing them, but removing them completley!
Help anyone?
Thanks!

May I suggest reading the "Exploring Logic Pro" manual. It's a short read and has the exact answer your looking for plus it will answer so many other operational questions.
Really a good place to start, 2nd listing from the top.

How to install third party plug-ins from photoshop elements 11 to new 13 in my PC win7?

how to install third party plug-ins from photoshop elements 11 to new 13 in my PC win7?
Thank you.

Hi ,
Your windows is 32 bit or 64 bit .
If win 7 32 bit
Just copy the plugin from PSE 11 and paste it to PSE 13 plug-in folder.
If win 7 64
PSE 11 and PSE 13 are installed as a 32 and 64 bit respectively , so you need to install plug-in again.
Thanks,

You may want to re-download the plugins from where you bought them and install them fresh for CS6. Or at a minimum check to see if new CS6 versions are available. The underlying architecture changed for plug-ins when CS6 was released. Some developers had to re-write CS6 versions. Some may work, while others may have had to be updated to work with CS6.

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.

Moving and Copying Plug Ins from one channel to another

According to p305 of the Logic manual, "Command dragging plug ins from one insert to another copies them along with all parameter settings" ( in the Audio Configuration window),
However when I do this it MOVES the settings and plug ins leaving the original track bereft...
Any explanations gratefully received

"holding option command copies the plug in settings" p305
This is the obvious work around ... excuse the air space
