Audio Units plugin manager

Hi guys
I was wondering...
I have final cut pro 5 and logic pro 7 installed on my mac. I have a lot of plugins but only want certain plugins to load in Final Cut Pro, and certain plugins to load in Logic Pro. Is there a audio units manager around? I remeber hearing of one a while back but have forgotten the name!

That was the exact program I was thinking about, thankyou very very much.

Audio unit plugins problem

my logic studio has stopped loading up normaly as it keeps getting stuck when it is surching for the audio unit plugins iv tried taking them out n relaunching logic but dat dont seem to work how can i get into logic to check audio manager

Remove the following file from your User Library (not Main HD Library):
User/Library/Caches/com.apple.audiounits.cache
Then boot Logic, it should scan all functional Plug Ins

Anyway to disable a problematic audio units plugin?

Everytime FCP launches the audio units loads up and my autotune spash screen gets stuck on the screen and I have to log out and back in to make it work. I actually dont need the plugins to load in FCP, but I do need them for logic.
Is there any way to disable audio units from loading in FCP?

Audio Units Plugins (Source-Connect)

A Pro Tools user for about five years, I'm just trying out Garage Band for the first time. Are there are any Garage Band users here that use a plugin called 'Source-Connect?' If so, I could use some help figuring out why I can't see that plugin in the menu of all the others.
Thanks!

Yep... the version I downloaded (Pro 3.5) says it's good to go with both VST AND Audio Units hosts (and Garage Band is in the list), but that's why I'm wondering why the plugin doesn't show up. I've emailed Source-Connect support... hopefully they'll be able to figure it out.
Thanks!

Audio Unit Plugins & Intel Macs

Have anyone tried Logic 7.1 (PPC) with some PPC Audio Units in the new
MacBook Pro or any Intel Mac ?
Does it work ?
Or there's any way you can use Roseta or something else to use "old" AU plugins with Intel Processor ?
thx
G5 Dual 2.3 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I doubt that would be possible because the native platform would expect the plug-ins to be on the same platform. Besides, a translated AU would grind audio engine in Logic to a halt.
From what I've seen on the forum, Logic on an Intel unit is not seeing PPC AU's.

Can you disable Audio Units plugins in Garage Band

Hi:
Installed the Waves V8 installer, and am only using Renaissance Compressor, and the Channel plugins. When I open Garage Band, I get an error message asking me to authorize other plugins in the Waves bundle that I haven't purchased.
Honestly, I only use Garage Band as a quick sketch pad, and would love to know how to disable AU's or the scanning of AU's. Couldn't find anything in the prefrences.
Thanks!

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.

Waves AU Plugins arent showing up in audio units manager

Hi,
I just downloaded some new plugins from waves that are showing up as activated in my Waves License Manager (WLC) but are not showing up in my Logic Pro X audio unites manager. I have tried clicking the rescan and still they dont show up, i tried restarting the applications involved and restart my computer as well but no luck. I have previously purchased and downloaded other waves plugins that are working fine and showing up in Logic, nothing looks different between the ones that are working and those that arent when viewing them in waves license manager. i contacted waves to see if they could help but they said it was a problem with Logic and everything was working properly on their end.
any recommendations or advice??
Thanks,
Reid

I suspect you didn't follow the installation Instructions from Waves....
Did you run the Wave AU Reg Utility first?
If not....
Quit Logic Pro X then....
Run the app which is found in Applications/Waves/Waveshells/ Waves AU Reg Utility 9.3 or later depending on which version of Waves you are using....
Failing that, contact Waves directly for assistance....

Logic Pro 9 WILL NOT recognise EZdrummer in Audio Units Manager, HELP??

I recently purchased and installed Toontrack's EZdrummer plug-in to work inside Logic Pro.
However, after a week of trying, I for some bizarre reason cannot get Logic to recognize the plug-in/vst.
All week i've conquered the internet looking for solutions but sadly nothing has helped, i've tried everything from trashing cache files to rescanning audio units to manually moving files...STILL NOTHING!
This problem has annoyed many people as I scroll effortlessly down Google looking at other peoples quetions and responses, yet nothing works for me. PLEASE SOMEBODY KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS!

Basic Troubleshooting steps...
First of all Logic Pro cannot use VSTs.. It uses AudioUnit (AU) Plugins..
Have you checked the AU Manager (Found under the Logic Pro menu item...) to see if it installed and validated correctly
If it is not there, it did not install correctly in which case reinstall or failing that contact ToonTracks for assistance.
If it is there but not validated, select it and manually recscan it to validate it. If it fails to validated again contact ToonTracks..
if it is there and validated,
When you start a new project in Logic and create a Software Instrument track.. and then you press and hold the Software Instrument button in the track strip.. do you see the ToonTracks entry? (along with all the Logic Pro's plugins and other 3rd party AU Plugins you may have installed)
The Software Instrument button is located as shown in this screenshot..

My Audio Units Manager DOES NOT exist!... please help.

I recently installed Logic Studio 8. When I first ran it the Audio Units Manager scanned for all of my AU plugins and it did a 'you must hold down the power button and power off' crash when it got about halfway through my 228 AU plugins that have worked fine in Logic 7 for a long time.
When i re-booted the mac and Logic 8 i had no AU plugins and when i go to Preferences menu / Audio Units Manager... nothing happens. I SIMPLY HAVE NO AUDIO UNITS MANAGER.
I cant access it from Waveburner 1.5 either but all of my AU plugins still work fine in Logic Pro 7.2.3
I have tried re-installing Logic Pro 8 and deleted it's preferences and associated receipts and repaired permissions to no avail.... I just cant load my Audio Units Manager
When i click on it in the preferences menu it's as if nothing happens.
Somebody please help... the only solution i see left is a complete re-install?
Mac Pro 8 Core 3ghz

Try creating a new user account and seeing if it works in that account.
Try renaming your ~\Library\Caches folder to Caches-old, rebooting, and see if it works them.
Make sure you run some disk utils - it's rare for an application or plugin to cause a kernal panic because they don't generally have that level of access to the system, so it might be a sign of something else funky on your system (drivers, or system things).

Logic Pro 9 - Not able to select plugins via Inserts / Audio Units.

Hi
I have the program Logic Pro 9 version 9.1.6 (1700.43) (32- bit)
I use plugins like for example SampleTank and Realstrat . Everything has until recently worked fine, but I now have a problem.
When I choose a plugin I usually put the mouse on the box 'Inserts', press ALT and then a menu appears. Here I, among many menu items, at the bottom see ' Audio Units ' . At this point I usually could choose, for example SampleTank , .. but now I can only choose Apple features. That is to say - I can not choose my plugins in this menu anymore.
I've been around online and search . Here I was recommended to delete a file called com.apple.audiounits.cache . I have done this, but the problem is not solved.
I also have updated the operating system with latest MacOSX10.7.5 update . This has not helped .
All my plugins are also visible in Logic Audio Units Manager, and I can see that they are being loaded when Logic starts up.
The plugins also still works in projects created within the problem occurred. That is, - I can open for example SampleTank in a track in a project that is created and a half years ago.
So the exact problem is that I, in new projects, is not able to select plugins via Inserts / Audio Units .
Can you help me solve this problem?
Regards Henrik

I do not think it is very user friendly, I must say.
For users of this system, it must surely be obvious that you very often have to choose musical instruments, also from instrument plug-ins.
Yes, often. That is why it is very obvious and simple for any experienced user.
Hekke44 wrote:
Why on earth is it so complicated to choose a musical instrument? If you are not currently using this system every day, you forget the such a detail about having to press down for several seconds to select an instrument.
I do not think it is complicated at all. And you do not have to press down for several seconds. I just timed, it is 0.4 seconds of clickholding. The holding is functional: you won't load a new instrument (and possiblly loose any work you had done on your sound) just because you accidentally clicked on a slot.
Hekke44 wrote:
There should be a nice big green button on the screen that read 'Select musical instrument', - then a menu where you can choose whether it should be one of Logics musical instruments, or a plugin instrument.
It would be user-friendly.
What is your view about these things?
You are basically saying it should be dumbed down to the level of some "any-kid-or-adult-idiot-can-use-it-out-of-the-box" smartphone app. I think you are overlooking that this is a Pro program, not a toy. I think you try to blame the software for the fact that you didn't know how to operate it. You're avoiding responsability. That's my view.

Audio Unit Manager: How to remove references to deleted files?

I upgraded my NI software. Replaced Guitar Rig 4 with Guitar Rig 5.
Removed the Guitar Rig 4 components from both system and user Audio/Plugins/Components
directories.
The now-removed plug-ins are still showing in Logic's Audio Unit Manager. Of course they fail validation,
and aren't used. But, leaves a messy listing, and causes other programs (Live, Kore) to also list them try to valid,
and fail.
Any ideas on how to remove these references??

I would love to know this too. I have the worst plug in in the world ( Universal UVI Player) haging around my system although I removed it from all "visible' places.

Logic Pro 7 (7.2.3) Audio Units Manager crashes

Logic Pro 7 (7.2.3) "Audio Units Manager" causes Logic to crash whenever it is selected from the Preferences menu. Most plugins have been wrapped by
FXpansion's VST-AU program successfully, Logic (after much work) finally goes through the validation process on start-up, but I'm unable to see what's happening in the AU Manager. Running Logic on a Mac G4 Dual 1 GHz machine with 1.5 GB of RAM. Any suggestions on what could be causing this problem?

the prob is most likely a bad plug in. some of them don't pass validation, others crash the validation program itself. go to the websites of your plug ins and check you have versions that work with your system version and logic version. make sure you check that the fxpansion wrapper is also current. also, if you happen to have the old logic tuner AU plug in from logic 6, get rid of it. it doesn't validate and the tuner is a built in logic plug in now.

"Failed to load Audio Unit" errors on opening project, but plugins actually load OK

I'm experiencing an issue where Logic Pro X will give an error saying "Failed to load Audio Unit" when loading a project, but when you actually click "Continue" and go on into the session the plugins are there and work fine - playback and bouncing all work fine, and the plugins were listed in the error dialogue all work fine.
Some notes on the error:
- it's happening on a range of different plugins on my system - ilok-protected plugins (Soundtoys, Slate among others), UAD plugins, and non-dongled plugins (Plugin Alliance stuff, among others)...
- seems that as a project is worked on over time, at some point the error starts to happen on a save, and then becomes apparent on the next reload... it also translates between systems - a couple projects where this is occurring were started in a different studio (where the error first showed up), and working on them at my studio the error is still apparent.
- also it seems like the error doesn't happen every time a project is loaded. If I'm launching Logic fresh and opening a project, the error will occur, but if I close and open another project and the come back to the first project again, the error won't show up on the first project anymore... but if I quit Logic and open that project again, it'll start happening again.
Has anyone else noticed this error?

Start Logic and hold the control key to disable the audio engine.
You should be able to load the project now, and disable the offending plugin. When done, turn the audio engine back on in the audio drivers preferences.
