just another friendly note,
you have another folder for the same purpose at
username / library/ audio / plug-ins / components
this is for plug-ins to only be used in that current user logged in.
however, i prefer to keep all mine in the Macintosh HD library as i am the only user on this machine.
But you should be aware of that other folder as occasionally some plug-ins' installers will place your AU's and VST's in the User folder. When that happens, you can simply move them from User to MacintoshHD/library/audio/plug-ins , just don't "COPY" them there, as having them coexist in both diretories creates problems.
have fun!
