Yes, of course I tried starting the computer several times. It´s still not showing up in my DAW.

First the obvious question: did you let the installer put the program and plugin in the folder the installer wanted to put them in? That’s important. Since you’re using Logic I’d imagine that it’s using au format plugins. If so here’s the path to look for the plugin:

MacHD/Library/Audio/Plugins/Components/

In here you should see this file: Superior Drummer 3.component.

For completenous sake here are the paths for VST and VST3 plugins:

MacHD/Library/Audio/Plugins/VST

MacHD/Library/Audio/Plugins/VST 3

Note that the Library folder may be hidden from view; use Google to find out how to unhide it. The Library folder referenced here is NOT the User Library folder but the main one on one’s system drive.

Okay thanks!!!!

Though I couldn´t find those links, I went back into the Program Manager, and noticed something in RED saying the AU not installed!!!!

So, I clicked on the update, which gave me a new installer that opened a window saying Mac AU plugin. I clicked on that, it installed, and now everything works.

Thanks again.

Best,

Glad you got it figured out. That’s the thing with some installers – one misstep or mis-selection and something doesn’t get installed particularly where you have the option of doing a custom install. That’s why I gave you the places to look – something to keep in mind for the next time a plugin goes missing. Like I said the main library folder may be hidden by default in the latest versions of MacOS (that could be why you couldn’t find them).
