    Hello everyone, I'm new to the blog, I read many people in this blog who have problems with the installation of Omnisphere 2 on High Sierra, unfortunately I'm part of that circle of people, I followed all the possible guides written by some of you, opening Logic X I thought I had solved the problem, because I can see Omnisphere 2 in the list of available plugins, I gave the necessary permissions to the STEAM folder, but when I open Omnisphere I can start it only as a demo.
    I opened the keygen to insert the patch on the plugins, but at the moment in the folder Plug-Ins on the Library there are neither Component nor VST's, and this sends me into confusion, because I can use Omnisphere but only in Demo mode, I'm wrong some method?
    Please help me, it's about a month that I'm going crazy, and when I thought I succeeded, other problems came out.

    Thanks to anyone who can solve my problem :)

    Hello,
    Make sure to patch the component plug-in located at /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components. You will not find any of your installed plug-ins in your USER directory located at ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components The second file path is in your USER directory and will usually have no plug-ins inside it except maybe an Apple component called A52Codec.component. ALL of your other Plug-Ins will be in the Plug-Ins folder in the ROOT of your system drive. If you're having any trouble finding your ROOT plug-ins folder just open Finder type Command+SHIFT+G and paste this in the box and hit enter:

    /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components

    Make sure you know the difference between your USER directory and the ROOT directory of your system drive.

    Hi Mark! I've been battling with my omnisphere install for about a few months. Every so often I give it a shot and fail. I'm running high sierra on a 2015 macbook pro with logic pro x just like you are. Is there anyway you can help me out? Maybe give me a step by step guide? Also, what program do you use to patch? Default? Do I need to download all of the updates? I'd honestly be willing to pay you to help me, that's how desperate I am :( :(

    Thanks so much!

    Hi dingaling,
    I'll explain how I did to make Omnisphere work in the High Sierra, I first opened all the .ISO files, I created a folder on the desktop with all the STEAM folder files inside the .ISOs taking care to copy only the missing files, then I copied the STEAM folder with all the files in the path: Library / Application Support / Spectrasonics.
    The Spectrasonics folder I had to create it because it was not there;
    Then I continued with the opening of the Installer Omnisphere, and the installer seemed not to work either, because they did not recognize the folder STEAM, I tried to change the privileges of the Spectrasonics folder and also the Library itself but nothing, the installer did not want know, I asked for help here on the blog and cyberfunk was very helpful, I pressed Command + Shift + G on the Finder, and typed the path: Library / Audio / Plug-Ins / Components (or VST)
    and I opened the folder in which there were the components and vst files of Omnisphere, I put them in a folder on the desktop and then with the CrossOver software I got to open the Crack in .exe format for Windows, I open the keygen I found the file components and I patched it, after which I opened Logic X and Omnisphere worked in full version, except for Trilian and Bob Moog Tribute, which does not let me open because despite having put the related files in the folder Spectrasonics, tells me that Omnisphere does not find the directory.
    I hope it could have helped you;)

    I have been at this for more than 2 years. and what you just said is what I have faced. And I have yet to find one person that can figure it out and they have tried. Hell me and TonyG exchanged emails and everything. For some reason or another on Windows when you install Omnisphere from R2R you get everything including Trillian and Moog but on Mac all you getting is the starter pack. smh. oh well . Real talk The OGS of this forum are some pretty good dudes thank yall and Ill always be a member of this site. even I don't post much

    Mark I have a question. I have a Macbook pro also and I recently had to wipe my system so I have to reinstall omni. Anyway is MERGE folder function quicker than going through and coping all the Steam folders(i did it that way the first time)?

    Im on a new computer and on a mission to install everything I had or I have ever fancied!

    I love this place and sister site.
    The wealth of base knowledge found on here should be gathered comprehensively for the enrichment of humanity in large.

    Your cookbook might seem slightly convoluted, but it really works, although the correct path for the steam folder is in the user's library, but no worries, Omnisphere creates and alias for it, understanding that its an application which its contents can be installed in any volume as far this 's told. The location in the users library makes sense because the content is not essential for the computer.

    Thanks so much for the recipe, fortunately I read this before the install and I also got the pre-patch components, so the cumbersome part was the copying of the contents and changing permissions, but in the end not that hard.

    Forgive my total ignorance, but I've tried installing Omnisphere many times to no avail.

    What is the best one to download (with all the material), is there a working torrent link for Mac?

    Thanks!

    As a former windows user I have to strongly disagree. It's a thousand times easier installing software on macOS compared to windows. The reason this plugins is a bit of a hassle to install is that the installer itself that's provided by R2R is very outdated and is not fully compatible with the newer versions of macOS. But I definitely remember Omnisphere installation being a bit of a struggle on windows as well.

    However, I think a better argument would be that windows users get to try out plenty and plenty of K'd stuff while the mac equivalents of those releases are made maybe 10% of the time.:suicide:
