Sorry I wasn't more specific in my previous post! Also, I like your suggestion for the tutorial and it will definitely be part of the Live 101 series that I'll be doing in the near future.

My AU plugins (the individual component files) are stored in this directory: Main Library (not user-specific library) -> Audio -> Plug-ins -> Components So you'll want to drag the individual component files into the "Components" directory listed above. Give that a shot and let me know what happens Hmm…

The only other thing I can think of is to make sure that Audio Units are enabled in Live's preferences. Thanks for the nice comment!

Hell, I'm sipping on some right now! In all seriousness, what OS are you using? If OSX, one thing to make sure of is that you put the plugins in the right Library directory because there's a system-wide library and then there's a user-specific library. I've gotten the two mixed up on occasion and plugins won't show up as a result. More tutorials will be on the way, and I'm actually focusing on free content right now so be sure to check out my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/oubliettezombie" rel="nofollow">Youtube</a> account for the latest ones.

I've been finding similar issues on CPU-efficiency with these plugs over the last few times I've used them today as well, but I think that has a lot to do with the fact that I like them so much to the point where I chain multiple instances together. The "Freeze" function in your DAW of choice will be a lifesaver in these instances, as you've already discovered. Thanks for the feedback from your end, Zavosh.
