Not sure whether it works on the mac but a great free alternative to the roger nichols digital inspector is the following combination:

Sonalksis Free G precision VU meter - http://www.sonalksis.com/index.php?section_id=99

PSP Audioware - free analogue style VuMeter - http://www.pspaudioware.com/plugins/vmeter.html

Spectrum Analyser - Fre(a)koscope - http://mdsp.smartelectronix.com/ffttools/

Oscilloscope - s(M)exoscope - http://bram.smartelectronix.com/plugins.php?id=4

which I frequently use to bugfix technical issues with my tracks - well worth a look....

So you are putting the VSTs in the VST directory and the Audio Units into the Components directory?

you have to turn on external plug ins in the preferences.

a small box has to be checked
