[toggen]

Just upgraded to Metro SE 6.3.7.1 !
Looks fine, But what is an easy way to
Load my AU Instruments? ( Ik Sampletank,Idrum )
I find the manuals hard to grasp.... Guess they are
good, but i Just want to play with my instruments!
Macbook, Os x 10.4.7 Intel version
Quite shure i have placed them in the right folders,also-
But i can´t see them in Metro!

Use the effects/synths popup explained a bit more here. You have to scroll down a bit to see it.

I have read it,and tried lots of ways,
but still the plugin instr. stuff does not
show up in any list! ( cannot even find the menu
on the picture from the link you sendt.. )

I have a feeling you are running version 6.1 instead of 6.3.7. When you do 'about metro' what version do you see? When you go to the plug-ins window, do you see your plug-ins there?

The menu is in the graphic editor (6.2 or higher) window.

A instrument that does not show up in the plugins window of metro is most likely to be a non-intel compatible version of an AU.

You can download version 6.3.3 of Metro to run them........they just don't run as quick on an intel machine.

Thanks for input so far!

Okay. I think Scoot is right. You probably have installed the PowerPC versions which will not be found by the Intel version of Metro SE. I know that iDrum is available in Universal Binary (UB) version so go to Izotope to download the UB version. Sampletank is not yet available as a UB so in order to use that you will need to either run on a powerpc or run in rosetta mode.

Looks like Scoot is right. Idrum shows up!

Thanks

Rosetta mode - Run Metro 6.3.3 - they all show up.
