VST plugins, or virtual instrument plugins, are software files that can generate music and alter audio with effects. VST’s have been around for decades, but a common question is:
Can Logic Pro use VST plugins?
No, Logic Pro is not compatible with any VST instruments. Instead, it uses an “.component” file. It’s also referred to as an audio unit. Most up to date software instruments and effects include VST (virtual instrument) and AU (audio unit) installation files so you can choose where to install it.
This is an example for U-he’s TripleCheese plugin. You can see the options for:
- Triple Cheese Audio Unit (Logic Compatible)
- Triple Cheese VST Plug-In (For use on Windows machines)
You can choose the correct type of file that’s compatible with your system. This can save you space, especially when you get to installing several plugins.
