      @Lindon Yes, Ive been reading up on licenses for both HISE + JUCE. I want to ensure I can correctly configure the VSTs for easy install on both Mac & Windows is all.

      When exporting, I was able to find the VST3 option in the 'preferences' panel. Where would I find the .component files?

      Also, I assume by 'library/plugins folder', you mean this is the location on Mac they are held, correct?

          @ulrik Thanks. But which "components" go into the component folder?

            @itsmochajones I think AU plugins have a .component extension.

              Yes, that's right :)

              So the "components" (au plugins) go to User/library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
              and the VST3 goes to
              User/library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3

                These are paths for Mac:

                • Macintosh HD:/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ (AU .component file extension)
                • Macintosh HD:/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/ (VST 2 .vst file extension)
                • Macintosh HD:/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/ (VST 3 .vst3 file extension)

                For windows, There is No Default Location For VST2
                But For VST3, This Is The Default Location:

                • C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 (64Bit)
                • C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3 (For 32-bit VST 3 plug-ins )

                Tip:
                Just Get @d-healey 's HISE EXPORTER TOOL, and Don't Worry About The Installers For Mac/Pc, That Gold Tool Will Do It All For You πŸ‘

                  @Natan if I export from Hise both the VST3 & Component will be exported to User/Library.........., is it different for you?

                  Or are you referring to exporting with Davids export tool?

                    @ulrik Same Here, It Places The Files into the User/Library.

                    "I Remember Somewhere Christopher Said that This is Because Mac Ask For Permission To Let Hise to Export Into The System Folder, So He Decided to Not Using That Destinations"

                    And Yeah I Use Dave's Exporter Tool, And It Places The Files into Dummy Folder Inside your Project Folder, And Will Create The Installer By Looking At That Folder.

                    To Me, It Is The Easiest Method, It Compiles All Formats, And Then Exports The Installers As Easy As A Few Clicks.

                      @ulrik Perfect, thanks!

                      @Natan This is super useful, thanks! What folder do you recommend for VST2 (.dll) in the Windows system? Also, the HISE EXPORT TOOL sounds amazing. If you get the chance, can you post a link in the thread? Ill search for it right now!

                        @itsmochajones Glad to help πŸ‘

                        Windows Installers All Shipped With This Location As The Default:

                        • C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins

                        But All Users Use Their Own Location During The Installation.

                          @Natan Much appreciated! Ive found the code on GitHub but will definitely pay a visit to his Patreon page as well!

                          Speaking of the HISE EXPORTER TOOL code, I assume this is something I need to build into HISE, is that correct?

                                So I understand that you must use MAC to export any AU plugins, correct?

                                MAC users can also use VST3 (I think) but only the AU will compile and export the .components?

                                Is there another way to generate the component files that VST3 needs to be compatible with MAC on Windows?

                                  Yes

                                  Mac can use VST2 and VST3. VST2 has a .vst extension, VST3 has the .vst3 extension, AU has the .component extension.

                                  Is there another way to generate the component files that VST3 needs to be compatible with MAC on Windows?

                                  No, you have to export for each OS's plugin on its own operating system, there is no cross-compiler available for HISE plugins.

                                    @itsmochajones you need a Mac to compile plug-ins for Mac, and a pc running windows to compile for windows.

                                    There’s no way around this.

                                      Thanks! Do you have any recommendations of a cheaper Mac that will suffice to only do HISE compilations on?

                                            And I believe I seen thus elsewhere on the forum but just to clarify...

                                            HISE files are the same for MAC or PC, correct?

                                            Say I create an instrument on PC, I can then use the same project folder to open and compile on MAC?
