Heya!
I am overseas right now with my Macbook Pro and I urgently need to do a “emergency demo recording” for my project.
I just reinstalled the whole library of sounds of my old (2006) Drumkit From Hell Superior onto my external Hard Drive. However the problem is getting Garage Band 11 (Its the latest version) to find DFHS. Everytime I have tried installing ALL versions of the plugins (VST, AU etc) I cannot find them in my “User name>>Library>>Audio>>Plugins” folder.
Doing a search via my “Finder” cannot find any files related to “AU DFHS” or “VST DFHS”.
All I can see in the former mentioned folders is a file called: A52Codec.component (Its in the Components folder), then an empty “Digidesign” and “VST” folder.
(UPDATE: I found the files in the normal MAC HD>>>Library>>>Audio>>>Plugins. All the files are there as for example “Drummer.component” or “Drummer.VST”…in their respective Components or VST folders. How come Garage Band can’t find these? The icon symbol for some other present VSTs or AUs which were found by Garage Band are shown as a grey open box. The DFHS AUs and VSTs are shown as a white closed box.)
Also there was no option to install any of these plugins to the external hard-drive (Note: All installations “completed successfully”). I have tried installing the plugins from the Install Disc 1 AND also installing the provided AU + VSTs in the download section off my ToonTrack Account.
(So as you can tell from my situation, I can’t even assign the root folder for the sounds which are on my external hard drive).
Can somebody help a.s.a.p? I really need to finish this project in at least 7 days!
Sorry for sounding so inexperienced. I am not used to doing DFHS via my Macbook Pro let alone using GarageBand (I usually use Nuendo)!
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
the last version released (available in your Toontrack account) *should* work but since it’s been discontinued a long time ago and the installers hardly are made for current Mac OS’s and Apps, you’re pretty much on your own. BTW, you don’t install the plugins to external drives, only the sounds. On a side note, I just checked that my old DFHS Percussionist actually loads in the latest Garageband 11 but I don’t have the Drummer installed.
BR,
John
