3RD party plugins -New to Logic (First post)

Hi
The wife bought me Logic Studio for Christmas and so far I'm loving it. I'm having a problem with some instrument plugins : True Pianos, Drumcore, and Motu Symphonic Instrument. They all show up in the "Audio Units Manager" as successfully validated. The Logic boxes are checked but I can't check the nodes boxes.
I tried re-scanning but they don't show up on my channels.
I routed an external hardware compressor and reverb and they are working fine.
If anyone can give me any information I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

Yes , you cannot use 3rd party instruments as nodes (which are plugins running an a second computer). That is not a problem.
But the instruments should show up when you clickhold an I/O slot on an Instrument Tracks' Channel Strip:

Keeping 3rd party plugins open in logic Pro

i have been using my waves pluging with logic pro. How do i keep them open when working. Its a general work flow plug in question. When you open a third party plug in. You get the window. That say click to open plug in interface. After it opens. When you click to ex..mixer,. The plug in disappears. How can i keep the plug in interface open.

Hi
Sounds like you are running 32bit versions of the plugins? There is no way to keep the plug gui open when using the 32bit bridge in Logic.
I'd suggest updating the Waves plugs to v9??

Flickering graphics in Logic - especially 3rd party plugins

I see a lot of people reporting (myself included) "flickering" of graphics in Logic, especially in 3rd party plugins so I decided to post a video of it occurring. Is this a "known issue"? I will be reporting it to Apple, and I hope everyone else experiencing it will do the same. Please watch the video and provide any input that you might have. Thanks!

Hi Clancy,
Could it be related to a Retina display?
Possibly... but as you know, I cannot test for that as i don't have a Retina display... (and frankly I'm not sure I want one at this time ) and I could recreate it on a standard screen using the same 3rd party plugin as the OP used... so i think it isn't specifically a Retina issue but... maybe retina 'enhances' the problem because of the extra load placed on the Graphical hardware/routines
So...
Is the OP is using a Retina display with his Mac Pro?
I suspect however, given the video he posted, demonstrating the issue occurring with the PSP MasterQ2 plugin...that it's only happening with some 3rd party plugins.... (as again he stated "especially with 3rd party plugins" which really might mean... only with.. depending on how you 'translate' that) and therefore my comments earlier.
Finally while the number of posts about this issue is actually rather small ( as far as i can determine from some detailed searching at least).... the thread on GS seems to indicate it's been going on since early versions of LPX and is related to Yosemite rather than LPX itself...
https://www.gearslutz.com/board/logic-pro-x/987219-logic-10-1-0-crazy-flashing-g raphics-plugins.html
...and some people have been reporting the same sort of flickering issues with other 3rd party apps and also plugins for apps like Aperture for example... after upgrading to 10.10... again indicating its a general Yosemite issue rather than a specific app issue.

3rd party plugins not working after archive and install

hi,
i have a few 3rd party plugins in my logic pro, such as all the native instruments, waves diamond, ik multimedia plugins, atmosphere and a few more,
i was getting an error on my g5 when i tried to run diskwarrior from the disk. it was the kernal panic message, it said i had to restart my mac, therefore i couldnt run diskwarrior from disk.
i did a bit of research and a few people suggested doing a archive install, so i did.
well what do you know, i had to re-install logic 8 again. other programmes such as transcribe, itunes idvd imovie etc were ok.
but logic didnt load up, o i had to re-install logic again,
also before i did that i checked to see if my 3rd party plugin were working in standalone, so i check all the native instruments and they seemed to work ok, T-racks deluxe works fine, so i thought they should all load up in logic.
once logic was installed again and had to get all the updates all my 3rd party plugins did not show up on my AU validation.
is there a way to get logic to see my 3rd party plugins or do i have to re-install all of them again.
cheers for the help
lib

Then check if the NI AU components are actually where they should be:
HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
If not copy them over from your "previous systems" folder which was created on your HD during the archive and install process.

How do you install and delete 3rd party plugins from Logic 9?

I have been trying to install RX2 from iZotope with no success. I can authorize it in the standalone version but not in logic. I had a previous demo version of it installed and everytime I went to authorize it would point to the earlier version and not authorize and run in demo. I removed a number of files pertaining to it from HD & User/ Library/ Preferences and Audio/ Components and tried reinstalling. Now it doesn't even show up in the plugin list. Can anyone tell me how to clear this up? Also, how to deal with 3rd party plugins. What can I say, no problems with Reaper! Appreciate any help with this. Thanks

The Isotope website isn't very clear about it.. It seems to indicate the Windows version is 32 and 64 bit where as the AU version is 32bit and will work/is compatible with Logic 64bit.. which it will as it will run under the 32 to 64bit bridge... when Logic is run in 64bit mode..but as i said, it's hard to tell one way or the other.
The thing is, if you simply reinstall it.. and then run Logic first in 32bit mode and then in 64bit mode.. it should show up.
Where are you looking for it in Logic?
Does it show up in the AU Plugin Manager? (after, that is you have reinstalled it)

Logic 9 - 3rd Party Plugin Settings not rememebered

Is anyone else having these problems?
GearBox and PodFarm don't recall their settings after Logic 8 to Logic 9 upgrade, so compete mixes have GONE!!!!
Wave Burner does the same thing with 3rd Party Plugins!!!!! Ozone is not recalling anything.
This is REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD!
I've lost weeks, months and in some cases YEARS of work on some projects.
Thanks Apple, lovely.

This is the wrong forum (because it is clearly not a general problem with AudioUnits), you should contact the plugin manufacturers!
I don't know GearBox and PodFarm, but Ozone is incompatible with a new feature in WaveBurner and needs an update.

Will my 3rd party plugins be detected by Logic X?

I have logic pro 9 right now, if I uninstall it and leave my 3rd party plugins be and then install Logic X, will Logic X be able to pick up these right away? obviously the 64 bit plugins/instruments.

thanks for the quick response

Will Lion work ok with Logic Pro and 3rd party plugins?

Will Lion OS work ok with Logic Pro and 3rd party plugins?
Any help would be much appreciated,
Regards James

Well, Sylenth I know... works under Logic Pro 9 and it should be found by left clicking and holding... the Software Insturment Button (The one just below where it says i/o and then scrolling down in the menu that appears to the Instrument section below the Apple Plugins...
I don't know about Massive 1.01 because i think that one is not Logic 9 compatible because it is so old.... and I have never used Vanguard... but according to it's specs the latest version should be found in the same place as Sylenth...
Both Sylenth and Vanguard are 32bit plugins...
...and.. it probably doesn't help that you are using older/not 'legal' copies of these plugins.... *ahem*

How can i get 3rd party plugins for logic such as massive or nexus?

how can i get 3rd party plugins for logic such as massive or nexus?

Buy the 64bit AU versions from their respective online stores...
Massive can be found at;
http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/synths-samplers/massive/p ricing/?content=2115
Nexus 2 (as Nexus 1 will not work with Logic Pro X) from;
http://refx.com/products/nexus/summary/
However, I suspect, based on the fact you could have simply searched on Google.. that buying them wasn't what you had in mind.................

How to PERMANENTLY get rid of 3rd party Plug-ins in Logic pro 9.

Hi, im trying to get rid of some 3rd party plug-ins on logic, but it only looks like i can disable them. (sweeping them under the rug isn't helpful) This is a problem because i have one version of a plug-in that doesn't work and im gonna get another of the same version (with expansions) to replace it so im concerned that the 2 versions will conflict with one another and i wont get the expansions i payed for. Anyone have a solution to permanently get rid of plug-ins? -Tim

The component files of the third party plugins are in:
Local Drive\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components
You can make a backup of a given component (say in a desktop folder) and replace the component with other version etc.
You can use [Pacifist|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/mac/12743] as well to install/extract a component from a given installation pack etc.
Edit: Sorry Immo I duplicated your reply solutions hitting posting a few sec. later...

Sort 3rd party plugins by categories

Hi there,
If this has already been asked, my apologies, I haven't found an answer to it using the search engine.
Is there a way to sort 3rd party plugins by categories, like Logic's built-in plugs (Compressors, EQs, Delays, Reverbs, etc...)?
It would be much better to search the plugins by category than by manufacturer name, don't you think?
Again, sorry if this is an old question.
And thanks in advance.

The problem with organising your plugins into channel strips is that it works fine to load the complete channel strip, but obviously cannot be used to load individual plugins on a channel.
I would like to be able to organise/customise my plugin menu in the way that best suits me, including not having to scroll all the way down to the third-party list and so on - I agree that this way of loading plugins is pretty inefficient.
Unfortunately, while this is technically easier using a Mackie Control (because you can scroll through the plugins with a knob before clicking it to load that selected plugin) - it's also next to useless because the plugin list is seemingly random, meaning that each time you scroll to a new plugin, you have no idea whether this is going to be the one you want, or whether it will take another 53 knob turns before you get there.
The library is supposed to be the redeveloped solution for this, and while it helps to a degree I actually don't like wasting a quarter of the available screen space having it open, or hitting a key command to open and close it just to load plugins. But you can't load individual plugins from the library anyway - it's either channel strips, or plugin settings/instruments. There is no way to highlight the plugin slot and then see your plugin list - so we are back to the navigate through four sub menus dance to load a plugin.
So none of the current methods are particularly good, imo. I'd like to see something better. At the very list, a menu list of "Favourite Plugins" at the top of the menu list which you could organise and choose which plugins should go in there.

All 3rd party plugins gone after update !!! HELP APPLE !!!!!!

All my 3rd party plugins are gone after the new update from apple !! I am running lep and logic studio G5 dual 2.5 ppc 8 gigs of ram !!!! What happen ???? Can not get the AU manger to launch !!!!! Help dead in the water !!!!!!!

Relax guy!
Try trashing to audiounits cache, and the Logic caches:
user/library/caches/com.apple.audiounits.cache
and
user*/library/caches/Logic/
Reboot, and try again...

Can I rearrange AU 3rd party plugin's nested folder structure??

Is it possible to organize 3rd party AU plugins by TYPE rather than by Brand? Even better, can they be integrated into the menu of Logic's included instruments/effects? It's hard to sift through say, all your samplers, or all your synths, when they are organized by Company names, and separated from Logics own instruments. I would love to see Kontakt and Sampletank alongside EXS24. And all my compressors together in a list, as opposed to them all being nested individually.
I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but was thinking maybe someone figured out a way to change the structure. Thanks!

I'm sorry, I don't think I explained this clearly enough:
My problem is NOT that the plug-ins won't show up in my Library after I set the path to a particular folder in Motion's Preferences.
My problem is that there is no longer even an option anymore to set the path to a particular folder in Motion's Preferences! It was there before, and now it has just disappeared! I don't know how to get it back. When I open Motion's Preferences pane now, in the General section, the sections are as follows:
Startup
Interface
File Browser & Library
Content Library & Templates
Media
Keyframe Editor
Normally, the "3rd Party Plugins" section is right below the "Content Library & Templates" section, but it's not there anymore...
I apologize for any confusion caused by an earlier post and hope my problem is more clearly understood now. Thanks!
