That huge collection is VST's from my old PC system. I'd hate to back to a PC, but will have to if all this doesn't work. Spending $4k and not having plugins work is depressing to say the least. I have many projects on hold until this is sorted out. So far this forum has been the only salvation...

Ran repair permissions, still nothing. Is the problem that the VST's are from PC?

Geozero.
You cannot use Vst plugins from your PC in a Mac based system. I would suggest downloading the Mac versions of the plugins (VST). Then the Wrapper will see them.

Bummer...I was (mistakenly) under the impression that a "wrapper" could "see" any VST plug-in. Some of my favorite VST effects are not available for MAC so I'm screwed (but I have a few more VST plugs that AudioEase now sees).

Still a waste of 6 hours experimenting. Oh well. I guess that is what I deserve for switching to a Mac G5 system.

ON another note... DP rocks!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for all your input... you have made the transition a lot easier for me.
