Always ignore incompatible Audio Units?

Is it possible to set Logic to always ignore incompatible Audio Units? I've got a few plugins which fail validation but are perfectly usable. It's obnoxious to have to click "Ignore" every time I start Logic.
Is there a plist or something somewhere I can edit that will automatically ignore failed AUs?
Thanks!

No, no setting in Logic can disable that.
I have had the same question a few months ago, but a query on the net did only yield one possible solution; it meant tampering with invisible files having to do with the AUval application (also invisible) I followed the recipe, and: it didn't work, the warning kept popping up anyway.
regards, Erik.

  • Some help please: how to remove incompatible audio units?

    Hello forum readers,
    If someone knows, a little help would be appreciated:
    When staring Logic Pro X, each time Audio Units are automatically being scanned. All the time I get a window with the message "Incompatible Audio Units found":
    "While verifying Audio Unit compatibility, Logic Pro X encountered 1 Audio Unit plug-in(s) which did not pass the Apple AU validation. These plug-ins have been excluded from further usage in Logic Pro X to prevent possible problems or crashes. You can start the AU Manager now to review the validation results or continue the startup process."
    When opening the Audio Units manager, I see that "AUSpeechSynthesis (Automap)applttsp"  (Manufacturer: Apple, type: generator) couldn't be opened. I don't know how to remove or bypass this plug-in, as the option "disable failed audio units" doesn't seem to work. Now each time I start Logic Pro X, the same message keeps appearing. I also can't find that file on my Mac, a searched for it and also the Finder can't find it.
    Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks a lot in advance!
    Kind regards,
    Thijs

    I have the same problem but I can´t figure out how to unwrap AUSpeechSynthesis. I can´t even find it in the filesystem with spotlight.....   ;o(
    And yes I have turned on the 64bit plugin friendly option in Automap's Preferences.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Incompatible Audio Units Found

    Hello,
    I just downloaded and installed Final Cut Pro X (10.1.2 on Mavericks 10.9.4).
    Each time I launch application I have to dismiss manually this alert:
    in order to be able to start to work in app.
    Any ideas why this alert appears and is it possible to repair the issue?
    Thank you,
    Maxim

    HI Luis,
    Thank you for prompt reply!
    But.... If everything would be so simple...
    I already followed the instructions on removing audio plugins from both places on my Mac. BTW there was no any audio plugins in those folders at all.
    On the other hand the alert from FCP X shows exactly what plugin is the culprit in my situation: it is  AuNetSend audio unit.
    As I know Audio Units are a system-level plug-in architecture provided by Core Audio in Mac OS X developed by Apple Computer. So the case is in one of the audio plugins from Mac OS itself.
    So I don't know how and where to find this plugin and how delete (disable) it.
    Do I you have any other thoughts on this matter?
    Thanks,
    Maxim

  • Final Cut Pro X - Error... "Incompatible Audio Units Found"

    Can anyone help me?
    I tried using one of the audio compressor AU plugins in FCPX, which caused a crash. Ever since, this error keeps coming up at launch. FCPX seems to be working fine, but I don't know how to fix this error message...
    Would appreciate any advice.
    Thanks!

    Archiving projects would certainly be a good idea. Unfortunately, I am editing a project which is the collaborative effort of a host of volunteers who made hundreds of shots spread across events that need to be kept available throughout the editing process. So, yes, we are pushing the application past reasonable limits. Still, the project is good fun.
    As an experienced editor (Media100, FCP4-7, Premiere Pro), I would have been happier to have been able to continue along the FCP7 path. FCPX is not my cup of tea, apparently, even though, by now, I have become rather familiar with the application. FCP7 was quicker, more stable (yes) and gave me infinitely better control. Or at least a much better "sense of control" so as not to offend any supporters or fans of the new application. So that's just my personal opinion.
    But I must admit that it is impressive to see how easy and enjoyable Apple has made it for even absolute beginners in video editing to put something decent together without much explanation or training. I have seen this with a few of the volunteers I am working with on this project. FCPX certainly has its merits, therefore, but you are absolutely right in your comment. We must try to keep our active (and actually mounted)  "Final Cut Projects" and "Final Cut Events" folders small, setting aside those which do not necessarily have to be available  in separate "parking" folders. For the next project (in general language, not FCPX jargon), I will bear this in mind myself. Cheers.

  • Looking for Audio Units

    Good day to all and thank you for your time.
    _Can't get enough sounds!!!!_
    I'm currently creating most of my projects with Logic's Sound Banks and Vienna Orch, however, they are starting to get boring. And knowing how expensive(expansive, too) these banks could get, does anyone know any spectacular sound banks that's worthwhile? (Looking into a lot of Eastwest ones right now, still contemplating..) How about outboard ones like a YAMAHA Motif rack? Mainly looking for drums and keys, please and thank you!!
    Additionally, I now have a couple of projects near completion and I'm looking into digital solutions to my mixdown, so has anyone found any good mixing tools/Plug-ins(Audio Units) that are better than Logic's Factory Plug-ins? (Preferably with mastering capabilities as well. And I personally do think Space Designer is top notch! Just wanted to know if there're any better out there.)
    As always, thanks in advance for all suggestions!
    One,
    Rex.

    Native Instruments' Komplete bundle will provide a huge library of sounds:
    KONTAKT 3 - sampler comes with 30GB of sounds on its own and it also provides the engine for MANY 3rd party sample libraries.
    MASSIVE, ABSYNTH, FM8, PRO-53 - More synth sounds than you'll know what to do with
    BATTERY 3 - drum sampler with a bunch of included drums, with the option of adding more
    REAKTOR 5 - A modular synth, sampler, audio processing, etc... thing. You can create your own audio thingies if you dare take the time to learn how to, or just use the included thingies or download over 1,000 user-created thingies with your Native Instruments account. I can't say enough about Reaktor.
    Additionally, I now have a couple of projects near completion and I'm looking into digital solutions to my mixdown, so has anyone found any good mixing tools/Plug-ins(Audio Units) that are better than Logic's Factory Plug-ins?
    Many, many things. I like my Universal Audio UAD plugins, Sonnox, PSP Audioware. There are so many more.

  • How to make Garage Band rescan Audio Units...

    Fianly found the solution to get Garage Band to rescan the audio units...
    If GB finds a bad audio unit, it lists it as not compatable. If you fix the bug in the audio unit, Garage Band still refuses to load it. I have had this problem with Native Instrument devices like Kontakt. They developed a bug which was later resolved and GB would never list it as available after it was working. Bad news which others have experienced.
    This solution worked for Garage Band 4.0, not sure if it is the same with earlier versions.
    SOLUTION:
    Remove file: com.apple.audiounits.cache
    In folder: ~/Library/Caches/
    The "~" refers to your home folder name. If you remove this cache file, then launch Garage Band, it will rescan all audio units and test them for compatability and show all the accepted ones.
    Whew... took me three days of looking, good luck

    You can also use a maintenance program like "Onyx" to clear your caches.
    The latest Onyx actualy has a cache cleaning option which by default won't clear the caches of applications using Audio Units so the user doesn't have to go thru all the trouble of rescanning after every maintenance run.
    As a side comment to add to this thread. Whenever I clean my cache for GB I always have a problem later with GB initializing. I have a zillion AU's and a few of them hang up GB after a cache cleaning and GB will initilize forever.
    I found that to get around this problem I wait for the problem AU's to display their warning windows and then I force quit GB and start it again. After that GB will start right up for me at least with all the AU's scanned and no other problems.

  • Can't initialize Audio Units

    I've been running Komplete 6 (Kontakt, Massive, Reaktor etc.) and OmniSphere/Stylus for some time. The other day, when I started up Logic (version 9.1.1), it said "reinitializing Audio Units" and all of my softsynths are now gone from the Channel Strip insert (where I usually grab them). I went into Audio Unit Manager and rescanned manually for each one. They all validate. I've updated all of the synths from the Native and Spectrasonics websites. Any idea what gives? I'm baffled and want my sounds back. The Apple-provided synths all work fine (EVP etc.)
    Thank you! I'm about to throw my head through a wall.

    I did as you suggested and it found (re-found) and validated 38 AUs, but the same problem exists. I can't see them in the channel strip plug in like I always have. Do you think it has something to do with 64 bit v 32 bit compatability?
    The rescan found Reaktor and FM8, but not Kontakt, Massive, Guitar Rig 4, OmniSphere, Stylus or Battery 3.
    Are you running Logic as a 64 bit application?
    If yes : then that is your issue, as not many plug ins are 64 bit, and will no longer show up in Logic.
    If no : you need to do what the other poster suggested and reset the file that tells Logic what plug ins actually exist, and force it to rescan all of them.
    As far as the Channel Strips, these are located in your Library/Application Support/Logic/Channel Strip Settings/
    Check to see if they are still there. These are *.cst extension files.
    If they are, then a Logic preference file may be corrupted.

  • Logic crashes while scanning Audio Units

    when starting up Logic, it tries to scan Audio Units. Installed I have an Akoustic Piano (Native Instruments, latest version), which I never use, came with a bundle. Audio Units cannot find it, so it scans and scans, Logic doesn´t start up but crashes. Can I skip the scanning or tell the system somehow that it should ignore Akoustic Piano? I don´t even know why it doesn´t find it anymore. This happened only after installation of Leopard.

    Leopard has changed the AU format, so some plugins will no longer function. You will need to go into AU manager and turn off the offending plugins.
    To do this, load Logic without loading core audio (hold down the control key while Logic is starting up). It will ask "do you want to run core audio" choose no, and logic should boot up. From there, go to your Au manager and turn off whatever plugins that are causing logic to crash.

  • Audio Unit Validation hangs

    Problem: When I'm in MainStage -> Audio Unit Manager and I click the Reset and Rescan Selection button, an Audio Unit Validation Results window opens to report passing results. After closing the window, MainStage toolbar commands don't work. Clicking on the desktop, then again on MainStage makes the window re-appear. It's like the window had disappeared when I closed it before, but didn't really close; didn't hand control back to MainStage, so MainStage acts like the window is still open. It is here that MainStage hangs. The only way to get out is to Force Quit MainStage.
    What is this? What fixes it?
    Deleting ~/Library/Cache/com.apple.audiounits.cache does not fix this.
    Environment:
    MainStage version 1.0.2
    Mac OS X version 10.5.7
    MacBook, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM

    Ha! I'm brilliant!
    Once I learned that NI Battery 2 is incompatible with Intel Macs, I deleted HD/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components/Battery 2.component.
    Everything works now.
    Apple, how 'bout spewing out a nasty-gram instead of just hanging?

  • Audio Units Izotope Iris Problem

    Hi.
    I have Logic Pro 9.1.7 (32-bit) running on a mid 2010 MacBook Pro. I recently bought Izotope's Iris and the problem is that it is listed as a validated Audio Unit in Logic, but I can't click on Inserts > Audio Units and Iris - Iris doesn't appear in this list!
    I've looked through the forums etc and can find similar problems, but no solutions. I've tried changing Logic AND Iris to run in 32-bit mode; I've tried re-scanning the plugins and even deleting the "com.apple.audiounits.cache" file to get it to scan the plugins again - still no luck.
    This is frustrating, because it recognises and validates Iris, but it just won't come up as an Audio Unit instrument / audio plugin in Logic!
    Any help with this greatly appreciated
    Z

    Please ignore my ramblings.
    This does work in the I/O option for Audio Instruments, though it's worth noting for new users like me that this is for an Instrument track, not an Audio track. Re-scanning for the AU Units helped I think.

  • Logic 8 Audio Units

    Hi, I'm running Logic 8 and recently (I think since I updated to Snow Leopard) every time I open Logic after shutting down and restarting my MacBook Pro it scans the Audio Units. I know it scans when new AU's are installed, but I haven't put any new AU's on in a while. Is this just because Snow Leopard and Logic 8 don't always play nice? Or is there something else that I'm missing? I plan on updating to 9 eventually, but right now the updates don't outweigh the cost. Thanks for any help

    Hi,
    Your Audio Unit plugins need to be updated to versions that support Snow Leopard. Go to each of your third party plug in manufacturer's websites, and download their latest versions.

  • Audio units not opening in old tracks, but will open in new tracks?

    I have a song that is running multiple audio units but I have fired up logic today and many of them are disabled, they have that diagonal line running thru them. They are omnisphere, zebra 2 and Battery 3.
    The strange thing is that these are passing validation and can be opened up on new tracks, but they wont open on the tracks that are already using them, meaning I have lost the patch settings for each of them!
    Actually I am looking back at multiple old songs, all of them have miscellaneous audiounits that are not loading!
    I think this all started happening after a recent OSX update...
    Does anyone know whats going on here?
    Message was edited by: kitttt

    That sounds like a software version issue to me. Could be wrong, though. Only thing I can think of doing, which you've probably done, is to install the plug-ins again. Maybe check if there are any updates for the plug-in versions you have as well. Software updates always ruin things...

  • PPC Audio Units in Logic intel in Rosetta?

    Is there a way to run the PPC only Audio Units in Logic audio on a Intel mac by opening logic in Rosetta?
    I tryed and this isn't working but maybe is there a way to tweak something to run this (even if it's slow).
    Thanks

    If the plugins you want to run are available as standalones (like soft synths or Guitar Rig), you can always run them in standalone mode and use Soundflower to route the audio to Logic. For the midi, use the IAC driver available in the AudioMidi Setup.

  • How to correct "An incompatible audio signal" with Apple TV and HD signal

    I have an Apple tv2(mc572Ll/a) running version 4.4.4 of the software, connecting to an older Sharp Aquos LCD-26d6u TVvia a regular HDMI cable.
    I used to be able to watch a rented movie until my onsitel technician/ teenager adjusted something.
    Now when the preview plays the sound works. When a video is displayed using AirPlay from the iPhone the sound works.
    But when the HD movie plays the message "an incompatible audio signal has been received. Check the output device settings" and there is no sound.
    When I connect this to a newer HDTV the movie sound works.
    Any suggestions on what Apple tv or tv settings to use to get the sound back (other than upgrading my technician/teenager/tv)?

    Thanks!  I changed the Dolby setting from On to Auto, and the sound started working for Netflix TV shows.  Before I was getting the message:
         Incompatible audio format received check output device settings
    and there was no sound. 
    The Settings are accessed through Apple TV.   When you have Apple TV on, and you see all the colored rectangles for Netflix, huluplus, HBO etc., (which can be accessed by repeatedly hitting the Menu button on the remote), the top row shows:
       Movies   TV Shows  Music  Computers  Settings
    Use the 4 way controller to choose Settings, then press the button in the center of the 4 way controller to select Settings.  Then select Audio Video.  Then scroll down to Dolby Digital.  When you are on Dolby Digital and you push the button in the center of the 4 way controller, the setting will change.  I changed the Dolby Digital setting to Auto.

  • In your experience what are the best audio units to use

    I hope that some of you folks are open to sharing some of your presets with others who aren't quite as good at toggling the audio unit section of garageband. I'm actually surprised that no site has sprouted up offering file downloads of presets for this section. Without the use of this section many mixes come out sound completely amateur and no better sounding than a 4-track recording vocals on a busy noisy sidewalk. For example I use the augraphiceq but it has no presets, which *****. I understand every voice has its own settings needs in editing or mastering, I just wish garageband offered a wide range of popular presets.
    So let me get to what I am in need of from you wise fellow apple seeds, what au's do you use for hip hop vocals/ rock vocals/ or any genre you record. The master presets section do you use any? If so what do you use?
    Can you detail your setting so I can create a duplicate to use myself ?
    Thank you

    Convert the footage to QuickTime DV, interlaced, lower field first with audio at 48khz, 16 bit.  In FCE, use the QuickTime DV setup.
