the plugins marked with z_ are ones not ported to Apple Silicon yet...
But I think I'm pretty fast that way

I don't really care for "searching for plugins", to be honest. I just pick one. See post above

I don't like to have to think of which plugin I want, and then think who the maker is to find it. Too much for my tiny brain to remember. I'd rather just type a couple of characters to get what I want, like DIV or VINT and then pick from the one or two that decide to show up. Apple just seems to be well behind the curve on organizing and finding things.
I started on Logic 5 with a PowerBook G4 550Mhz. I now have a MacBook Air M1 and it's ~165x faster! So, why is my music not proportionally better?

yapp. you do you. And for that to work your "tiny brain" would need to know before hand what exactly to search for...syntonica wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 7:50 am I don't like to have to think of which plugin I want, and then think who the maker is to find it.

Like I showed in the video above, organizing Plugins is not an issue on Logic at all. Of course it's a bit of work to get it the way I want, but once it's set, it's good to go.

just occurred me that if you type VINTage no matter where, plugins like Softube's Model 72 would never show up unless you specifically added such search characteristic items to it. How much different is that to categorising all your stuff in the first place?
You're kidding yourself for the sake of an arguement

Yeah, I think most people at least have an idea of the type of plugin they are looking to use so categories is the optimal way to organise plugins. Even if there was a search tool it would not find all reverbs unless I also had added them to a category 'reverbs' as they don't all have 'reverb' in the name (just realised this is an old thread and I said as much on page one).

A couple of hours of work that should be unnecessary if there were more advanced organization and search features rendering it unnecessary.
If this was my only annoyance with Logic, I could sit down over a weekend and put in a workaround, but Apple just continue to hang onto an ancient paradigm originally created by Emagic back whenever. Having to click on a tiny spot, consider if the plug-in I want is native or not, move to the correct folder and then continue to drill down two or three more folders to insert a plug-in is just achingly slow. Annoying. Antidiluvian. Pick one, pick all.
For how much Apple touts how great their interfaces are, Logic's is hands-down their worst. Nothing works intuitively for me and I originally started with v5, where nothing worked intuitively. They took a bad interface, put some lipstick on it, but it's the same old pig.

Did you even watch the video I posted? I don't really get what you're trying to say
That's a whole other story. You just don't like it. NotedFor how much Apple touts how great their interfaces are, Logic's is hands-down their worst.
