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...

...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.

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

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)

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.................

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.

Disabling all 3rd party plugins on an OSX user?

Hey there,
Long time no see. I'm rolling out a college motion graphics program and have hit a snag on our computer configuration. We have individual OSX user logins for each class and are using the CS5.5 Production bundle. We have a few 3rd party plugin packages installed (such as Trapcode Suite, Keying Suite, Magic Bullet Suite, etc.) and I would LOVE to disable/hide those on the account for the intro class.
Are there any straight-forward options that I'm not thinking of? I've done lots of searching but am not coming up with much.
Thanks!!!
-steven

Just for fun I moved my Trapcode plug-ins from the Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/MediaCore directory to a new folder under my Rick User account I called AdobePlugins.
I changed the premissions of this folder so that other users would not be able to see the folder by setting no access for everyone. I then created an alias for the Trapcode plug-ins and moved the alias back to the original location. I then switched users and it worked. No access to the trapcode plug-ins from the other user.
This was on a Mac OSX Lion 10.7. It's kind of a hack, and the uninstallers and installers won't like it much, but so far it seems to be working. I don't know if something like this would work for Windows, but I do know that Aliases work there too. Give it a shot at your own risk.

Crashes with 3rd party plugins

I am loving the functionality of MS, but these crashes are getting really embarrassing, especially amongst my PC loving band members. I have the new unibody MBP with 4gb ram. Everything is great and solid while performing. I never get any clicks or pops while playing. All of my crashes occur when changing patches within a concert. It does seem to be more directly related to the patches containing 3rd party plugins, such as Kontakt 3, or Kore 2. It also seems to be only the sample based patches.

Ok, so it looks like there are problems with the new MBP's running more than 3GB's of ram. If I pull out my 2x2gig sticks and put in the original 2x1gig sticks, it runs fine and never crashes. I bought the ram from OWC. I will be sending it back, but in the meantime I am not sure that I trust their ram. It is made (or distributed) by Nanya. I don't know if the problem is with the ram, or if it is a problem with NI product running in Mainstage, or if it is a problem with the new MBP running 4gigs of ram. We shall see.

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 !!!!!!

3rd Party Plugins Have Disappeared After OS X Mavericks Update

Hi. I'm have a bit of a panic here.
I'm a sound engineer and I use Mainstage 2 frequently to run all FX live for a variety of artists.
After reading forums with regards to the Mavericks update, I found no evidence of it causing issues with Mainstage of Logic.
HOWEVER, I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks yesterday and Mainstage has decided to throw a massive wobbly. When I load up my show, it says "The plug-in named 'XXXXX' is not available on your sysem." It's done this for every single 3rd-party plugin on my machine so I basically have nothing! Good one Apple!
I restored my machine to a backup I took just before the OS upgrade. Guess what.......it's even doing it there now! It's back on Snow Leopard. I've been into the folders and all the plugins are there. For some reason, Mainstage isn't finding them. I'm at a total loss and about to throw this thing out the window.
Can anybody save me???
Thanks.
Jonny

Verified and repaired disk permissions but still no luck.
I thought Time Machine was meant to put the computer back to its exact state at the time of back-up?!
Anybody know if there's a UK phone number for an expert on Logic/Mainstage?!
Thanks.

3rd Party Plugins

I have been enjoying some of Logics plugins and would like to partake of other plugins out there that people rave about. I don't have an indepth understanding of how the plugins interface with Logic. Can I just buy say a Waves bundle and load the software into logic and start using the plugins? Do I need to buy a special card that will allow me to use the plugins.
Do 3rd party plugins create any difficult latency problems. I understand that adding any plugin will cause latency, but as long as Logic can be adjusted to compensate for it that doesn't bother me.

Can I just buy say a Waves bundle and load the software into logic and start using the plugins?
Yep. Logic will automatically see any third-party AU plugins installed on your computer.
Do I need to buy a special card that will allow me to use the plugins.
In general, no - "Native" plugins run on the computer. There are some types of plugins that run on hardware cards, such as UAD-1 plugins or Powercore plugins, but the vast majority of plugins are native.
Do 3rd party plugins create any difficult latency problems.
No, they work exactly the same as Logic's internal plugins.
I understand that adding any plugin will cause latency,
No, Logic will compensate for latency when it can except when you are monitoring in realtime, because this is impossible. The same is true for Logic plugins that require some buffer overhead to work.
but as long as Logic can be adjusted to compensate for it that doesn't bother me.
Yep, there is no practical difference between using internal Logic plugins and external third-party ones.
