Exponential Audio Plug-ins Do Not Appear in FCP or Audition or... Nowhere!

 Exponential Audio has some great reverb and effects plug-ins, but after installation they might not appear within your favorite DAW or NLE on macOS.

Even more bizarrely in my case some plug-ins appeared, but one - Excalibur -  didn't on Mac OS Mojave.

Looking into the Audio Plug-ins folder I can see the files for Excalibur, VST, VST3 and Components, so what gives?

Solution: reboot the computer and voilà, now all plug-ins are showing.

macOS Mojave Guest File Sharing Not Working

When turning File Sharing on in System Preferences/Sharing, Allow guest users is set by default.

This tough is not enough to allow guests connect to the computer, you also need to go to System Preferences/Users & Groups, select Guest User in the list and check the box "Allow guest users to connect to shared folders".

With this two options turned on, you can now connect as a guest from another computer on the same network and access shared folders.
