logic and mac problem

[tangerine]

How do you install 3rd party plugins onto a G5 power mac so I can use them in logic?
I've read through the manual and I can't find it anywhere.

put them in

/Library/Audio/Plugins/Components if they're audio units or
/Library/Audio/Plugins/VST for vst

they have to be compatible with the platform (eg., Intel or PPC) or they'll be silently ignored, and of course, Windows compiled VST plugins don't work either.

Logic doesn't support VSTs anymore, either, only Audio Units.

It does seem a little weird that Logic's manual doesn't tell you where to install third-party stuff, but I guess that's why most plugins you download (and certainly the ones you buy) tell you where they need to be installed.

Fuck it, I'll go back to using Cubase.

If you need VST, that's a good choice.
