I have tried installing FabFilter Pro Q-3 and it runs through the installer, says installation successful and then is nowhere to be found.
Please any solutions would be great

Our products are plug-ins. They need a DAW to run, and do not work as standalone applications. You will not find them in the applications folder, or as an icon on your desktop. After installation, please run your preferred DAW. Most of them scan for new plug-ins automatically. When your DAW is launched, the plug-ins should appear in your plug-in list. Please insert the plug-in on a track. When you insert the plug-in on a track for the first time, you will be asked to enter your license key, after which a restart of your DAW is needed. After this restart, your plug-ins should work.
What if they do not appear on the plugin list? I have completed the download and install twice and can't find it in my DAW anywhere... I'm using Logic X on the latest model of MacBook
Logic sometimes needs a full computer restart when the plug-ins are installed. If they still do not show up, please check your plug-in manager. It's possible they failed to validate.
