What are they? My gut inkiling is that they are software patches that add functionality to audio/MIDI programs like Cubase, Cakewalk, etc. Is this correct?
Currently I'm using Cubase VST Score 5.0. The VST stands for Virtual Studio Technology, which leads me to believe there are a bunch of pluginsfloating around out there that would turn my Mac into a "virtual studio."
Am I correct? Where do you find plugins What kind of stuff is available?
T.I.A.

Not as I understand it.plug-insadd functionality to a particular software/hardware system. By themselves, they are usually useless.
Non-music systems utilizeplug-instoo, like Photoshop or Quark. They perform specific tasks that the base software either cannot do at all, or doesn't do as well.
Think how rackmounts (plugins) add versatility to a mixing board
Think how rackmounts (plugins) add versatility to a mixing board (DAW software), and how different rackmounts require different interfaces (system format) like 1/4 inputs or XLR inputs (DXi or VST, etc). You can use converters (wrappers) to utilize different connectors and cables to certain extents. Viola ;)
