OK, I am stuck. ( and a newbie )
i got all excited and downloaded Magical 8 bit plug, SupaTrigga which left on my desk top folders with a "SupaTrigga.component" and "Magical8bitplug.compoment" in them. Can someone please explain (or send a link to a thread to explain) how i can 1. Open these files ( i am unable to as they are now ) 2. Put them in a place where i can use with Ableton live What exactly is a "component" file? any insight to these mysteries would be GREATLY appreciated [font=Arial] |

They will then show up in whatever application (Garageband, etc.) you are using. Ce message a été modifié par dkimchee - mer. 20 sept. 2006, 23:22. |

In which Library folder are they?
It should be in your root Library folder (the one right on the first level of your system hard drive). Have you left them into their personal folder? If so, don't. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home

You shouldn't have to actually create a folder for your plugins. Let's start from the beginning....click on Macintosh HD icon then Library, then Audio, then Plug Ins & THEN drag your folders to he Component Folder (you will also see the VST folder as well...now you know where to put the VST ones as well when you download those).
