AU plugins in Mainstage

Hi, I recently installed Mainstage for the first time. Each time I load the app, 8 AU plugins cannot be loaded. I don't need them, so I would like do deinstall them. How can I do this?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.6

In Finder, select the "Go" option at the top and then "Go to Folder", then type in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components. In this folder will be all the AU plugins, delete the ones you do not want. You may be asked for your password to permit this as a precaution.

Hi,

thanks for you answer!

This one I tried in the first place. But there are no plugin-files in the component folder. Weird! And I can't find any of the problematic plugins anywhere else.

What to do?

Best,

Sven

Yes:

REV-X Hall AU
REV-X Plate AU
REV-X Room AU
Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip AU
GA Classics - CLEAN
GA Classics - LEAD
GA Classics - DRIVE
GA Classics - CRUNCH

They are all Steinberg Plugins. I use Cubase 11, so I have an eLicenser, and the error message tells me, that there seems to be a problem with the eLicenser. Anyway, I don't need these plugins and want to get rid of them. But I can't find them!

Not sure at all then, do you have names for these plug-ins?

Sorry, can't help with that. Maybe you need to remove using Steinberg?
