Where does Logic Pro 7 install plug-ins?

Apologies, but I cannot find the answer to this question. Thanks in advance for any help!
Where does Logic Pro 7 install plug-ins by default on the computer? I have searched all through the Macintosh HD Library and with Spotlight to no avail.

Logic (and most other DAW host) applications deliberately do not make their plugins phycially separate AU (or VST) plugins that get installed in the Compononets folder. They do not want you to be able to use then with any other program. They are "inetgrated" into the code, and so not usable outside the app. Or the idea is, you don't get the plugins unless you buy the host program (and it is also a way to lock you into using their DAW software).
There was once I think talk of making some Logic plugins available as a 3rd party package, but that may have been before the Apple acquisition. So if you want your work to be portable to other DAW programs, then you are better off not using any of Logic's built-in plugins (and other 3rd party plugins do what Logic's plugins do, often better, though obviously you must pay for 3rd party plugins).

  • Where does Logic Pro 9 store it's sounds?

    I have a Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.6 and what I want to do is move Logic's library (including Jam Packs) over to my external hard drive. What I mean by the library is all the software synths, and effects, and maybe even the Apple Loops. Again, I don't mean the sounds that I would record myself. So is there a specific folder where all the sounds are located?

    Hi
    Unfortunately, Logic looks in several places for different types of data files. The easiest way to free up some space might be to move some of the Apple Loops to a different drive (note that you may need to reindex the Logic loop browser).
    By default, Apple Loops are stored in Library:Audio:Apple Loops:Apple  (30GB in here)
    The Sampler Instruments (13GB) installed with the JamPacks are stored in Library:Application Support:Garageband:Instrument Library
    I would not move these unless really necessary. You may have to re-link theSampler Instrument files with the Samples (Redmatica.com for Pro Manager makes this really easy).
    Logic samples are installed in Library:Application Support:Logic (3GB)
    Impulse Responses (by default) are now installed in Library:Audio (2GB)
    Once again, the easiest way to free up some space is to move some of the AppleLoops. Anything else may well cause you more trouble than it's worth.

  • No destructive editing using installed plug-ins in the sample editor.

    It is a shame that it looks like there still is no destructive editing using installed plug-ins in the sample editor. Seems very obvious to me that this feature should be included in Logic. Very disappointing. I’m assuming that you will be able to do this via Soundtrack Pro, but that’s just another layer added to the work flow.

    fermusic wrote:
    in any case there are no reason to use Soundtrack pro for make a destructive editing with AU plugins.
    While everything you say is absolutely correct, in terms of being able to do this within Logic itself, there are times when using Soundtrack Pro does make more sense for destructive printing of AU FX's.
    High pass filtering a vocal track with a lot of plosives comes to mind. It's easier to destructively apply the AU high pass filter on just the plosive syllable, or waveform in STP, than in Logic.
    Same goes for some extreme cases of De-essing.
    With STP selected as your external audio editor, it's very easy to use from within Logic. The two co-exist quite gracefully.
    I'd personally love to see Logic adapt some of STP's destructive capabilities, and I'd actually be surprised if we didn't see that at some point in it's evolution.
    But I say none of this to dismiss what you've generously offered here. The information you provided in your first post is important for the Logic novice to be aware of.

  • Installing Plug-ins LR 2

    I have not been able to successfully install plug-ins. I have tried four different plug-ins from the plug-in web site. In each case the file downloads and extracts successfully but when I use the add button on the plug-in manager screen I get the following message:

  • When I was on facebook a few times, I get a message that says I need to install plug ins. It has a button to push to find out what plug in I need, but nothing happens when I click on it.

    My computer has Windows XP, I also have Mozilla Firefox. I don't understand why sometimes, a bar appears across the screen, where the tabs should be , and it says I need to install plug ins. It has a button that says, install, and one that says, click here to find out what plug ins you need. I've tried pressing both of them on different occasions but no luck. Can someone Please Help me??

    Checking your list of plugins, a common plugin that you do not have is Java, it may be trying to install that one. You can get it from http://java.com/

  • Can't install plug-ins Photoshop

    Can't install plug-ins (3rd party namely, Nik Creative Suite) in Photoshop Ext. CS6.  Anybody else?  They seem to install OK but when you go to use them, the program can't load them because it says that the filters are not where they are supposed to be?  I have just started this Creative Cloud deal.  I am a Photographer who relies heavily on having my tools readily available to me.  I am reading posts in the forums about widespread problems with authentication nags and repeatedly having to sign-in, etc.  I hope I have made the right decision!  If there are problems throughout this new process and will have to buy the new upgrades to Photoshop CS5, and other Adobe products and go back to owning them so I can rely on their functioning.  Has anybody solved the plug-in problem?

  • One NIK filter does not appear as plug-ins

    Dear All,
    I'm working with the NIK Color Efex Pro plug-ins that include a whole series of plug-ins, but one does not appear in Photoshop.  That is the Analog Pro 2 package.  I can get it to work, but I must open it separately because it won't appear in the list of filters that are listed under "Nik Collection."  I've dragged the Analog Pro 2 application into the Adobe Plug-Ins file along with the other NIK filters, but it doesn't appear to have the same .plugin or .config file name as the other files.  Anything I can do to get this plug-in to appear?  Another one that doesn't seem to appear in Photoshop is called "Selection Tool." 
    Thanks  Small Town Gal

    Yes, done all that but there is no adobe flash player listed in the add ons >plug ins site. However in the program listings on the start section adobe flash player is displayed.
    I have tried down loading it again and although I have done this from downloads and it displays as done it does not reappear in plug ins.
    The plug ins I have got listed in Tools>Add_ons>Plugins are
    Microsoft RDM 9.0.0.3250
    Microsoft RDM 9.0.0.3250

  • Does Photoshop have extras, plug-ins, 3rd party programs, etc to purchase?

    Does Photoshop have extras, plug-ins, 3rd party programs, etc to purchase like music and video editing software can?
    If so, where is the price chart? I need to know these things as I am concidering purchasing Photoshop.
    Thank you.

    I did look at the plug-in page quickly. I noticed the free ones and the pay ones.
    From using producing programs, some photo editing and some video editing programs: I'd rather use what is there and what is inside first. Then look at the extras. I am realizing how deep this can get. But if I bought PS or CS 5 or whatever: I would want to learn.
    I know that some plug-ins, extras, etc are their own and are highly useful. I do understand that it can take longer but in some programs you can do what a plug-in can do though it may require more steps. I'd rather learn the program and then get the short-cuts. But again some are stand alone and highly uselful - these are what I am looking for and want to know about.
    I didn't know there were so many books though, this is new information. I believe that I was told a while ago about a couple or that one comes out with a new release. I like to read and know the who, what, when, where, why and how: but most of my time should be in the program. Eg: I read my photo editing programs manuals. That was important and helped me. I need to know terms, language, some short-cuts/how-to, etc. But getting in there is way more important.
    Any more information is great. Please keep it comming. I am not getting the program in the immediate future, it's the pricing issue right now and that it's way more important for me to use what I have as I am still learning big time. Plus I have to get on my camera a lot more and draw a bit more.
    Thank you.

  • Lost my Pro Tools plug-ins

    Just got macbook pro on ebay, didn't have a password to change settings, got a start up disk for the machine from apple for leopard, restarted the machine holding down the "c" button, reinstalled leopard and when i restarted i had lost a whole world of plug-ins for pro tools 8 LE and for garage band as well. tried the time machine app to no avail. how do i get back what was there before i reinstalled leopard?

    Good Morning Jim,
      For future reference, I am attaching the response from Boris tech
    support that solved the problem. Thanks again for your help.
      There are two things you can do - you can reinstall the RED plugs,
    this time
    into the CS4 directory, or you can move the plugs from the CS3
    directory to
    the corresponding CS4 directory.  The second would be quicker, but
    requires
    CS3 to still be installed.  If it is, you just need to move the files
    called
    "FL7-BorisRed4P3.prm", "FX6-BorisRed4P3.prm" and "IM-BorisRed4.prm"
    from
    this location -
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS3\MediaCore
    To this location -
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS4\MediaCore
    If you do not find the RED plugs in the CS3 MediaCore folder, try
    looking
    here instead -
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3\Plug-ins\en_US

  • Re-install plug-ins after upgrade to CC

    The chief thing holding me back from upgrading to CC is the prospect of installing all of my plug-ins, actions, brushes, etc. again.
    When I upgraded from CS5 to CS6, this took days, and proved a major pain.  I'd like to upgrade to CC, but not if I have to spend days re-installing plug-ins, fonts, brushes, actions, etc. 
    Is there a way I can upgrade from CS6 to CC without overwriting all of my stuff?  In a dream world, I would download and install CC, and at first start-up, there would be all of my stuff exactly as I had it in CS6.  If I can't get this or something like it, it's probably not worth it to upgrade yet.
    Thanks for your time and help!
    KB

    KB the process has not changed.  If you use Third-party plug-ins and brushes the process will be the same as you have experienced previously.  I would recommend contacting the Third-party plug-in manufacturers to verify they are compatible with the CC versions of the Adobe Creative applications.

    Your right: not clear. I'll try again. I may be in the wrong forum area of Adobe. The Safari on my PC: when I click on a link (that successfully opens on another web browser as a
    "PDF") for a PDF document (say a brochure or something similar), I get a window that has "Adobe Acrobat" in the title bar. The message in the window states "There was an error opening
    this document. This file can not be found". I have the following Adobe Plug-ins installed.

    Not quite sure what your question is - I simply don't understand it. 
    Shouldn't you rather install Adobe Reader to deal with PDF documents?
    Please explain in more details if that doesn't answer your question.

  • Problems installing plug-ins (and even Adobe updates) to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop.Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."

    Problems installing plug-ins to Photoshop CS5 Extended on a new Win7 64-bit laptop.  (Same CS5 and plug-ins installed OK several years ago on a Vista laptop.  Now I'm just trying to migrate everything over to the new laptop.) Even some Adobe updates won't install.  Instead, a message box pops up on the CS5 screen saying "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."   Any solution?

    CS5's automatic update mechanism is broken, perhaps because it is no longer updated and can't cope with the newer ways of updating.
    So this means you will have make a list of the updates that failed, go here: Product updates
    and manually download/install from there.

  • Flash plug-in not listed in the Safari installed plug-ins page

    Dear all,
    I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 on a Intel Imac and I'm facing the same problem since the first time I wanted to upgrade the version 10 of the Flash plug-in.
    I have different accounts and various internet browsers (Safari, FireFox, Opera, Chrome) only Safari, on my main account (admin), causes problems. Actually the plug-in (10.3) is properly installed in  /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/, so common to all accounts (the users' Internet Plug-Ins folders are empty) and it is visible from the System Preferences application.
    Internet Plug-Ins folder content:
    AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    CANONiMAGEGATEWAYDL.plugin
    CANONiMAGEGATEWAYLI.plugin
    DirectorShockwave.plugin
    Flash Player.plugin
    flashplayer.xpt
    iPhotoPhotocast.plugin
    JavaPluginCocoa.bundle
    npContributeMac.bundle
    nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
    Quartz Composer.webplugin
    QuickTime Plugin.plugin
    QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
    VerifiedDownloadPlugin.plugin
    But Safari doesn't lists the flash plug-in in the installed plug-ins page and returns a missing plug-in error message as I visit any website containing a flash movie. When I replace the current plug-in with version 10.0.r2 it works fine.
    Before installing any upgrade I first run the uninstaller, restart the computer and then install the newest version. I tried many things to fixe this very annoying problem without success. I'm not going to list all of them but I mainly cleared Safari and Flash Player preferences, Safari Cache.db, removed all other plug-ins (to check for conflicts). I also used some tools as Apple Disk utily and OnyX to repair disk permissions and fix other possible problems.
    I would be very grateful if you could help me!

    Hello Chris,
    Any other suggestions? Because this story drives me crazy !
    I don't know if it matters, but  Flash CS4 is installed on my Mac.
    Event if it doesn't make sense I tried to clear any file related to the flash plug-in, Flash Player and Safari
    Safari:
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Cache.db
    Flash:
    ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player/
    ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/
    com.macromedia.Flash Player Debugger.app.plist
    Flash Player Debugger_00000000-0000-1000-8000-0016CB846CCB_CrashHistory.plist
    Flash Player_00000000-0000-1000-8000-0016CB846CCB_CrashHistory.plist
    com.adobe.flash-10.0.plist
    Flash 10 MRU
    flashplayer.xpt
    I have uninstall Flash Player Debugger and the Flash Plugin
    removed all plug-ins from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Replaced all previous versions of Flash player by the latest version (10.3r183)
    I ran all OnyX maintenance scripts and repaired disk permissions
    After restarting the computer I installed the plug-in and replaced all previous plug-in version everywhere
    e.g. : /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash Player/Flash Player.plugin
    Restarted again and then launched Safari. The plugin is well in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, but not listed in installed plug-ins list
    I repeated this "procedure" several time, from different accounts, I also removed the admin rights on the problematic account and perform the installation from a new admin account without success!
    I can drop any plug-in in the Internet Plug-Ins folder and I only have to refresh the the Installed Plug-ins page in order that Safari takes it into account. All, but the flash plug-in! 
    I really do no understand why Safari can't "see" newer plug-ins than the 10.0 version.
    I'm lost and ran out of ideas!
