    Can anyone recommend me a program for unzipping vst's on a mac? It seems like the sort of thing that would be easy but I'm having terrible difficulty with it!

    Am sure your fully aware that the VST needs to be compatible with the OSX. If your having trouble maybe look for the AU, but am sure your aware of this.

    To be honest I'm a complete newb to this, getting free VST's that are compatible with Lion seems kinda difficult, thanks for the help!

    Yea, it's a pain really most VST are not compatible AU(audio units) are mac standard.

    If you look for .dmg (disk image) will 9/10 of times hold an AU. You really don't need another program to unzip files, your disk utility will do it for you when you click on it. If it's .exe its windows VST only.
