Nov 05, 2006 12:04 pm I am not absolutely sure on this, but I think most programs on the Mac run a differant pluggin architecture. But if that is the case I would be guessing there is a converter pluggin out there just like the VSt adapters you see for windows that will apply to the Mac architecture.
I dont think Mac can read a .dll file, I could very well be wrong an that one though.
Nov 05, 2006 08:10 pm I think that Noize is right on this one. About a year ago I went from the Windows world to the Mac world, and I had to re-download new VST plug-ins tp get them to work. Actually, that's not even true...I mostly use AU plug-ins now.

Nov 06, 2006 05:38 pm Then you should just be able to check the extension they use on the Mac and if it is the same, yep you'll be good to go.
That is if the MAc will accept the .dll extension which is usually how the VST or VSTi is shown.
