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. |

QUOTE Component files are to be placed in Library>Audio>Plug-Ins>Components. They will then show up in whatever application (Garageband, etc.) you are using. i have done the above(created a plug ins folder in audio) but the plug in still appears grayed out, and does not show up in Live. when i click on the icon, it asks me which application i would like to use to open it, when i go to garage band it is grayed out as well, and wont let me select it. any insight to this would be most helpful thank you |
