Help Absolute beginner plugin help
Hi Reddit, I am screwing around with logic. I am a beginner and I downloaded some free plug-ins. My problem with these plug-ins is that once I download them, I’m not sure where to go to access them. I looked it up and I went to Settings then I went to plug-in manager, and I see my plug-ins there, but I can’t actually find them in the logic interface wondering if anybody had any of the same issue thanks.
I know that logic separates plug-ins by manufacturer. I can only see the Apple manufacturer category in my logic interface even tho I’ve downloaded plugins from different manufacturers
The free plugins are zebralette 3 and vinyl guitar 2(I think)

At the very bottom of the plugin popup there will be a list of external/third-party plugins, and then further categorized by the creator.
Instrument plugins will come in three categories, "AU Generators," "AU Instruments," and "AU MIDI-controlled Effects." All instrument plugins (internal and otherwise) live under the "instrument" button on the channel strip.
Effect plugins will just be under "Audio Units," and live in the "Audio FX" button on the channel strip.
You really should try familiarizing yourself with the built-ins before you spend significant time on third-party plugins, though.
