    Hey guys, I am working in macbook pro in macos high sierra and I have this issue:
    Some of my vst, au, vst3, axx (any type in general) that i download and install does not appear in my DAW after I search them.
    I am using FL Studio, Ableton and Logic Pro and some plugins like soundtoys, slayer ect. don't appear in my list. I have chosen the correct folders that the vsts are installed in. I have tried everything, even demo version and still nothing.
    I also don't use any type of antivirus or security apps that could prevent them of working.

    Anyone have any ideas how to solve this? or is this happened to anyone?

    try codesigning all of them in terminal, that will usually work. Open terminal and type in sudo codesign -f -s then push space and drag in the au from your component folder into your terminal window and then push return.

    @SleepWalkin323 That is an incorrect Terminal command you have posted.
    Best be sure before you post incorrect information.
    Code:
    sudo codesign -f -s -
