Garageband 9.0 scans for audio units on startup every time.

It also asks for the location of my WaveShell 5.9.1 plugins.  I'm not using the Waves Audio units anymore and would like to get garageband to stop looking for the Waves audio units. How do I stop this procedure?

Delete any Waves folder in applications.
Delete any Waves preferences.
Delete any Waveshells from:

  • Can I force LE 8 to scan for audio device?

    I run all recordings through a Mac Min. As there is only 1 firewire port, I need to have my mixer feeding into a powered hub. When I start the Mac, it doesn't retain the connection to the mixer and I need to switch the mixer and the mic off on order to let Logic go through the scanning process to re-acquire it. This isn't really a problem, but I find it really irritating. When I had a direct firewire connection to the control room iMac, it always 'saw' the mixer and mic.
    Can anybody suggest a way to keep the connection/setting or can I force Logic to do the scan for audio devices without having to turn the mixer off and on.
    Thanks.

    I am aware of the "hold alt key" at start up. However this doesn't work for me for some reason

  • Analog plugins for audio units?

    I have recently starting mixing on logic due to the need for recall (client adjustments). I used to mix thru my soundtracs mrx console & got a fantastic sound that was very warm. The problem i'm getting which has been debated many times before, is the digital cleaness of software which definately lacks warmth. Can anyone tell me the best analog modelling plugins for audio units? I've heard good things about the psp vintage warmer....how good is it & what else there?
    G5 DP1.8   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   LP7.1.1 + MOTU 2408 MRK3 + REASON3 + WAVES + VARIOUS

    I´ve found that if I leave my Souncraft 1600 channels at unity gain and use the automation in Logic to mix I get the best of both: recall and warm.... The problem in digital is the summing...
    just try it, it´s really easy: make a mix in the box and bounce it. after that change the outputs of the tracks from stereo1/2 to all the outputs you have in your sound card with the channels in the analog console at unity gain. Record the mix. even an 8 channel decent sound card will sound better IMO. I disceverd this years ago when using an AW8 in 16bit and aginst all logic it sounded better... with my Multiface was even better ... I still want to try my brand new Fireface800 with this trick. just compare both mixes and tell us what you´ve found.
    ...besides that you can use your mixer´s eq and analog stuff if you like...

  • Why do I have to search for a wifi network most every time I use the internet?

    Why do I have to search for a wifi network almost every time I use the internet?
    We have Cox internet on a wireless router.
    It doesn't seem to be able to hold the wireless connection.....even a couple hours.
    The router sits on the desk next to the computer.
    Thanks for any suggestions you have.

    I don't have any trouble connecting to the internet once I choose our network from the choices.
    The computer just can't remember it.

  • HT4436 For the past two weeks, every time I start up my computer I'm asked for an iCloud login. I've never used iCloud and I'm not likely to. How do I get this login to stop automatically showing up?

    For the past two weeks, every time I start up my computer I'm asked for an iCloud login. I've never used iCloud and I'm not likely to. How do I get this login to stop automatically showing up? I'm using an iMac G5 with OS 10.9.4.

    One more quick thing first. Hold the SHIFT key this time as you startup and see if that gets you any further (this is called 'Safe Mode' by the way). I'm not too confident that this will work in your case but it's worth a try. If it boots up, go into Disk Utility and repair permissions.
    If it doesn't, you're going to have to do an Archive & Install which will install a fresh copy of the OS over the top BUT keep all your users, files and apps in place.

  • For some weird reason now, every time I try to open a LinkedIn page it seems to get re-routed to a UPS page. Did I inadvertently trigger a script of some kind and, if so, how do I un-do it?

    For some weird reason now, every time I try to open a LinkedIn page in Safari it seems to get re-routed to a UPS page. Did I inadvertently trigger a script of some kind and, if so, how do I un-do it? This happens, no matter what the LinkedIn page is.

    Hi ...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cacche. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safar/Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    Doubtful just visiting a page in within the LinkedIn site triggers a script of any kind.

    I wanted to watch it on our MacBook for sound and clarity, and every time I accessed it, it locked up. To the point that the only solution was holding down the power button.
    Everything else worked, and I could freely enter information and open other Facebook entries, but when hitting the "play" button or clicking on the video it immediately bought up the spinning beach ball, and would never clear. Any solutions?

    Did you try viewing the video in a different browser? Firefox or Chrome maybe?

  • 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.

  • Noob question: which language for audio unit?

    Hi there, sorry if this has come up before but I'm just starting to write code on my Mac and would like eventually to write an audio unit.
    I'm at the very early stages of doing this and am unsure about which language I should be using. It seems the examples provided by Apple with the SDK are in C++, but I was just wondering if anyone had any opinions about using C or Objective-C instead?
    As a bit of background, I code in VB.Net but also have a little bit of experience in Java and Perl so I'm fairly comfortable with languages which share a similar syntax with C.
    Thanks very much,
    Steve

    Hi Steve
    I see this is your first posting - welcome
    If you're thinking of writing an audio unit then I sincerely recommend that you sign up to Apple's official Core Audio API e-mailing list.
    Go to this site: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo and choose core audio api.
    Best wishes

  • Audio MIDI Setup quits unexpectedly on startup every time I run it

    Help, I have an almost brand-new Mac Mini (2011), that I just got a few weeks ago.  I'm setting it up to be a home media server -- i.e. to output to my HDMI receiver. 
    I need to use Audio MIDI Setup to create a new package that will output to both the audio out jack and HDMI at the same time. 
    But every time I open Audio MIDI Setup, the window pops open and before I take any action whatsoever the application quits unexpectedly.
    Help!  I don't know what to do to get it to work.
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the reply. it got me halfway there. Now it will open for the audio side, but still crashes as soon as I switch to Midi.
    There were no Midi configs in my library, but there's a folder full of them in the main Library. Most of the files in there I don't care about, but there are several that I don't want to lose. Should i trash the folder and then re-install the ones I want?

  • Firefox checks for updates to add-ons every time it starts?

    Every time I click my shortcut to open Firefox, a window pops up. This window scans my installed add-ons and checks for updates. Then, Firefox opens. One of my add-ons, "Zotero Word Integration" tries to install itself every time. If I have an instance of Microsoft Word open, this installation fails, but ultimately, Firefox opens and runs fine. The add-on scan takes approx. 30 seconds, so if I accidentally close FF, it's a big hassle. This first started happening after I updated to FF 8. I downloaded and installed FF7 but the problem persisted. Now, I am back to FF8, but, alas, nothing has changed. None of my other add-ons are having problems except for the ones that aren't compatible with FF8 yet. FYI, I do have Roboform, but it is the current version, both to-go, and everywhere.

    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache, extensions.rdf) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • I just upgraded to iOS 6, and a particular website I always use for school (blackboard) now crashes every time I try to open it. How can this be fixed?

    Hi. I just upgraded my iPad 2 to the new iOS 6, and now a website that I use all the time for school is crashing every time I open it to get to my classes and assignments. This is very frustrating since I use my iPad frequently during school. I've already tried rebooting my iPad and closing all applications, and clearing cookies in Safari, nothing has fixed this so far. I feel like it must be related to the update since this did not happen before yesterday when I updated. :( please help!

    The problem is with facebook, go to settings / facebook / your user name and delete your account, the do a hard reset (home+power for some seconds).
    dont need to delete the facebook app! just delete your integrate account from settings
    cheers!

  • Why is the mobile site for iPad requiring a login every time I go to gmail (even if I leave the tab open while I use another tab?

    For the last week or so every time I go to gmail (even when I've left the tab open) I am required to sign in. This is an unnecessary step that I really don't want to do. I don't like the gmail app. And I feel like this sign in issue is forcing me to use the app. Why is this happening? Is there a way around this?
    Thank you for any input.

    Can you post back here a screenshot from this issue?

  • Logic Pro 9.6.1 searching for Audio units

    Logic keeps hanging and stops repsonding in 64-bit mode. Same for MainStage. Is there a fix or an issue with Lion. This worked then just stopped working and this problem began. When I re-install and bring it back to 32-Bit no problems. Does anyone know if you can run these pro Apps in 64-Bit with Lion or is this a Lion issue? Never had a problem with Snow leopard. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    If it is that I must run in 32 bit mode then what is the purpose of 64-Bit if you cannot use it?
    Thanks to all the fellow users out here!!!

    Hi all, went back to Snow Leopard. Lion is not worth the problems and money that you have to keep on spending.
    It will make apple the wealthiest business ever.

  • Logic 9.1.6 hangs at start-up splashscreen "Searching for Audio Unit plug-ins (Apple:AUSpeechSynthesis) and indicates 64bit when set to 32bit

    I have deleted preferences, cleared caches, repaired permissions with Disk Utility and Disk Warrior, rebuilt the directory with Disk Warrior.  There is no file on my drive called AUSpeechSynthesis, should there be?

    That's correct, I believe MK has an "optimize" feature that cleans out old and/or unused files... evidently AUSpeechSynthesis is not considered a Mac file or is not in MacKeeper's list of Mac System Files. Not only that... I hear MK deletes some loops and/or instrument files... so BEWARE!
