Hey guys, my friend has Cubase LE that came with his Lexicon Lambda, and he uses it on his Macbook Pro. I downloaded KeFIR and WagnerSharp cuz I wanted to show him how to use 'em, but when I put the .dll's in the "VSTplugins" folder, Cubase didn't recognize them (there was no error message, they just didn't show up in the inserts section). Any suggestions?
 
Godammit, that's what I was afraid of - so I take it there aren't nearly as many free/cheap vst's that are for macs? And people wonder why I'm still a PC user, jesus...

Can anyone recommend any mac vst freeware ampsimps and impulses plugs?
 
Use Google to search the forum, it works much better. Just type whatever you want to search for followed by "site:http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/production-tips/" to search the production tips forum, "site:http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/equipment/" to search the equipment forum, or "site:http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/andy-sneap/" to search the main forum.
 
Oh come on Brett, give me some credit here - I'm no n00b, I'm well aware of how aggravating these questions are - but I never paid attention to threads about Mac VST's cuz I never needed to, but now that I'm trying to help a friend out, those threads have disappeared and seeing as how the words "mac" and "vst" are under four letters, well...cut me some slack
