i would like to get rid of the au's so that they do not show up in the plugin lists of my daws anymore.
i don't want to use these plugins and removing them completely would be the best way.
searching for the names of the plugins does not show them and they are not in the same folder as the third party audio units that the user can install.
can anybody help?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15
Hello, fledermaushöhle.
Where are third-party Audio Units plug-ins installed on Mac? - Apple Support:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201532
Per the above link...
"Built-in effects and instruments included with Apple apps like Logic Pro, GarageBand, MainStage, and Final Cut Pro don't appear in the Library folders and can't be removed manually."

What plugins exactly?
Did you look under ~/Library/Audio and also /Library/Audio?
To access the first one, press command-shift-G in the Finder and paste
~/Library/Audio
(the ~/Library folder is the Library inside your home folder, and is hidden by default; /Library is the one at the top level of your drive)
thanks for your reply!
in the places you mention usually third party plugins are installed.
but there are several plugins (eq's, compressors, actually any kind of) that come with the os from apple.
those ones i cant find anywhere. also searching for the names of these plugins they dont show up in finder.
but they are shown for example in ableton under the developer name "apple", and also in harrison mixbus.
the two daw's treat them like any other third party au-plugins that i can install myself.
but as i said, they are not found in the normal place that you also mentioned.
here is a list of the plugins in a screenshot from ableton:
all right, thanks
You're welcome.
where can i find the apple audio units on my harddrive, that come with mac os?
