attached selfmounting image 
ok wait - i thought this was the full 3.0.4 pluggo
it seems to be just the demo?
i thought pluggo had been made free at the end of its lifecycle.
perhaps im mistaken.. confusing it for another package
i dont have much experience with pluggo i must admit
i have been meaning to explore the pluggo plugs but havent
is there any list of the top pluggos?
it installs with a base # of plugs that u can download + add to am i right?
how do u differentiate between playable instruments + effects pluggos?

i will test Dr Bu's installer as i have a feeling this is not a demo version

Thank You for the clarification! I'm using Google Chrome browser and have been right-clicking "save as" BUT after figuring this out, I downloaded both 3.00 & 3.0.3 installers again, but this time the file sizes were different than the first time I DL'd both files, which added to my confusion as to whether the download was corrupt or not.

I have Pluggo 3.0.4 already installed and working EXCEPT for the same problem as EssexBoy, Pluggo bitches about being a non-authorizable demo. Am I going to need to remove this before reverting to 3.0.3 or 3?

I believe I'm using Stuffit Deluxe 7.0.3 that's in Mac OS System Utilities.

I'll try the selfmounting image and let you know.

yes this is happening to ALOT of people i think. the downloads are not corrupt u are actually downloading pure text html if u try to do "save as" on the link, not the file, but the file linking TO THE FILE!
i have just realized that it needs to be clarified but i didnt want to tell diehard + mactron to edit every single
DOWNLOAD LINK :
to add : (must click link, do not right click and save as or the dl wont work properly)
or some other annotation indicating that if u do this, u end up getting an html file and not the file u need.

yes it is a demo.. the 3.03 file that drbu posted should be the full real deal..
we need to get a confirmed working pluggo posted in the dls
i think the reason we havent is that the admins here think this pluggo is a joke
and not worthy of attention;) lol
but looks can be deceiving

Yes, that's my opinion. But it doesn't matter. I'll put a download post if somebody can tell me what's the working file or better upload it into the FTP ...

[rezx0x]

If Pluggo is a joke, what would you recommend as an alternative that will work in Pro Tools Free?

[MacTron]

There is a lot of real and great plugins around there, without needing of using those runtime's... But despite my opinion:

I'll put a download post if somebody can tell me what's the working file ...

But I need some clarifications before to post this in to downloads section, mainly what and where is the working file???

- Pro Tools 5.1 or later (pluggo is not compatible with Pro Tools Free, which is based on Pro Tools version 5.0.1.))

¿?

Any way...
Is this the only plugin set that work in Pro Tools Free?
why? -just curious-

... and may be there is "fix" for pro tools free around here...

[IIO]

it has some effects you cant find elsewhere, say like the panners and phasors.

plus it was a bargain back in the days, when i bought pluggo v 2 it was around 50 USD here in germany. waves native powerpack was 1000+)
 
and some maybe find the crappyness of it inspiring for creative work. i made songs using ONLY "pluggosynth", a simple sawtooth with is not even bandlimited and the filter explodes if you move it too fast, while a real PPG and abunch of rolands were sitting right next to the computer.

if i posted that info i had read it frm someone else .. ihave never tried to use pluggo with ptfree personally
i  must have read that on the digi site or in an article somewhere
**ok i see its in the thread above.. yes that was a cut + paste from another source!

rezxox  are u going to be producing with virtual instruments?
pro tools has many rtas instruments for it..
we havent created a master list of which vsti plugins have rtas versions
something that needs to be done by a protools enthusiast here on the site

if u are going to be working with primarily vst instruments
i would suggest installing cubase... and/or ableton live
these are my favourites;) 100% because of the vsti compatibility
logic is also vst compatible on os9 (even tho i forget this easily)
digital performer + pro tools can be used with vsts but there is added complication of working with vstwrappers + shells which may not be somethijng u are willing to tackle
which is why i suggest using one that is 100% vst compatible..
my top choices being:
a)cubase 5.1r1
b)ableton live 4.14
c)logic 4.81
pluggo is compatible with these 3 apps

u can aways export your tracks to wav or aif and reimport into ptfree if compatibility with other pt users is what u are after

Please let me explain why I wish to use Pro Tools Free 5.0.1. I read online that PT Free requires a Mac AGP G4 with built-in sound. As it happens, I had one lying around from a University auction purchase. Loaded it up with 1GB RAM and OS 9.2.2. and installed Pro Tools Free 5.0.1. As I mainly use hardware, my thought was that I could use this Mac as a 2-TRk recorder with some cools plugins to process my outboard gear. That's when i found Pluggo 3.0.4 on macintoshgarden.com. Then transfer these audio files to my hardware samplers via Recycle 2.0.

if u are going to be working with primarily vst instruments
i would suggest installing cubase... and/or ableton live

I do use VST's, but on other more capable machines running Live, Reason, etc. I mainly want to utilize this lowly Mac G4 and that is why I chose Pro Tools Free 5.0.1. Since I already have Pluggo 3.0.4 installed and there are A LOT of COOL plugins, I'd like to get this sorted before moving on to other installations. OR, should I just remove pluggo and install WAVES 4.0? I have some other AudioSuite plugins currently working BUT unfortunately these are not realtime (RTAS): Serato Pitch'N'Time, Wave Mechanics Speed. I also read that BombFactory will not work in Pro Tools Free, but I managed to get the LA-2A and 1176 and the MoogerFooger LowPass and RingMod RTAS plugins to show up in the file menu but when I select them they need authorization.

Again, to recap, I mainly want to use PT Free as a 2-TRK (1-TRK MONO) recorder with a lot of useful plugins to process outboard gear (mainly rhythm tracks and samplers).

whats the cpu on the agp g4.. 400mhz? 450mhz? or higher?
i would guess 400 or even 350mhz because u say lowly;) heheh
well i have another agp g4 450mhz here that i could try this out with to help u...

u arent limited to protools free by any means..
u could use any software on the site..

ableton live... digital performer... cubase...
or even an old version of logic...
you have many choices.. there is not right answer
its all personal preference + familiarity.
most will support processing plugins
and recording via the soundmanager 3.5mm input

if u want to use protools by all means use protools..

tbh we dont have anyone here that is using pro tools free to be
your go to person at the moment.. all of our enthusiasts who claim to love
mac os 9 so much in reality use newer versions!

so i might have to help u figure this out myself

i see.. so you plan on jamming live and then going back and sampling your live playing to use in studio production.. smart idea.

[Metrophage]

Here's mine. I have used these and can confirm that they work. The image has the real installer. The update file I only just now found, I had only a borked copy so was updating to only 3.0.2, but found this while I was sorting through some data yesterday.

I also have that 3.0.2 somewhere here, as well as installers for Pluggo 1 and 2, which I can add for completeness.
