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.

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....

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).

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.

Amplitube 3 not in Audio Units Manager???

Hello,
Amplitube 3 runs fine as a stand alone and is present within Launchpad. . .but it doesn't show up in Audio Units Manager under Preferences. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Problem solved.
In case anyone is interested. . .here's the solution:
Go to HD > library > application support > IK > delete the amplitube 3 folder.
Go to HD > library > audio > plug ins > components and delete the amplitube3 file here
now reboot and do this. Open the HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and Repair the disk
permissions on your HD. Now reinstall the 3.8 update for AT 3 and retry it.
If anybody knows what happened initially with Logic I'd love to know!

When i try to open my projekt in logic pro x it say audio files not found?

when i try to open up a projekt in logic pro x it say audio files not found why is this heppends?

This error typically means the audio files you used in this project are no longer found in their original location.. (did you move or delete them?) or you have renamed the audio files..... or they were located on an external HD etcand that drive or disk is no longer available.... because its not plugged in.

Will Logic Pro accomodate a M-Audio Fast Track Ultra?, Will Logic Pro accomodate a M-Audio Fast Track Ultra?

Will Logic Pro accomodate a M-Audio Fast Track Ultra?, Will Logic Pro accomodate a M-Audio Fast Track Ultra?

M-Audio is a bit slow getting drivers out but they eventually get it right so take heart... even companies like Focusrite don't have 100% compatible drivers for some of their hardware.
Not sure if -all- of the recent USB changes were released on time. I'm regularly in touch with a couple of plugin developers and both say Apple is notorious for last minute changes. Don't know if it's true or not.

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..

Logic pro audio units manager

I have Logic 9 . I have Waves native plug ins which I use in Logic. I updated waves and now when I load Logic the audio units examiner freezes up and all plugs ins are disabled. The window showing audio units being examined opens showing the number of audio units to be examined and then nothing happens at all. I spoke with folks at Waves and everything seems ok on their end. Please advise.

HELP Audio Unit scanner crashes on logic pro X when trying to load mpc studio

Everything was running fine I could open my mpc studio up as an AU plugin and it would run smooth but as of recently I keep getting an error saying logic has to quit because it cant open my plugin .. this is the error message i receive when trying to validate my plugin

nevermind I solved the issue. I guess I had to update my mpc studio twice in order for logic to see it

Are Logic's instruments and effects Audio Units yet?

I quote from the logic manual: +"Audio Units is the standard Mac OS X format for real time plug-ins. It can be used for audio effects, software instruments, and Generators. The Audio Unit format is incorporated into the operating system, and installed Audio Unit plug-ins can be simultaneously accessed by all applicable programs. Logic Pro supports all Audio Unit format plug-ins."+
If this is the case, it seems odd to me that the "audio effects, software instruments and Generators" that come with Logic are not Audio Units (or weren't in Logic versions < 8).
"Why do I care?" you might ask? Well, mainly because I'm interested in using different Audio Unit hosts -- specifically, I'm playing with "live coding" (see www.toplap.org), and the instruments and effects in Logic would be wonderful to be able to live-code to.
I just scanned through the manual (it's nice that it's posted), but it mainly focuses on the Audio Unit host features of Logic, and doesn't mention the components.
Can anyone answer whether this decision has been changed yet?
thanks!

You're confusing an API with a set of Plug-ins. Yes, Logic's plug-ins are all AU's. They all conform to the AU specs. However, they are exclusive to Logic. To believe that the plug-ins will ever be available outside of Logic is more folly than anything else. It would go the same for any DAW. Logic is no exception to the rule.

Logic Pro 8 with M-audio Axiom?

Hi y'all,
I'm about to buy an axiom (m-audio), but I was wondering if it's compatible with Logic Pro 8?
thanks

Thanks you very much:)
can't wait to get my 'produce' on!

Logic Pro X with M-Audio AxiomPro 49

Any progress mapping hyperccontrols of M-Audio AxiomPro 49 with Logic Pro X ?
It's killing us...

I will never spend another nickel on either M-Audio or anything from Avid. Their level of disdain for their customers who pay good money for their gear is unconscionable. Maybe I've been spoiled by Apple and other vendors. The Axiom Pro was not cheap and for them to abandon its support so quickly is like a slap in the face.
In short, I am with you, Fibrechannel. I have to write-off M-Audio on the basis of the old adage... "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
Frustrating beyond reason.

Ableton Live 6 vs Logic Pro 8 CPU usage/audio quality.

Hi,
Any user's have feedback regarding CPU usage between Abelton Live 6 vs Logic Pro 8. I'm currently running Live 6 on an MBP 2.0ghz (CD) and am constantly running into audio drop outs etc etc.I am reading throughout the net that Logic Pro 8 is more CPU friendly than LIve 6... is this true, overall? Also any users ever do a mixing test between the two apps to see if there was an audio difference when rendering your final project to aiff or wav? I am thinking on using Live 6 as a stratch pad to "create" as I enjoy it's flexibility then transfer the project over to Logic, however that depends if there really is a difference in CPU usage and Audio quality between the two DAW's.
Thanks.
guess i should also state that i will be running on the new imac's come tax return time. lol

Logic 8 is very CPU friendly, I can say that much. I never found Ableton Live 5 to be very taxing either, though. Pro Tools is.
But like you I use Ableton as a scratchpad, I love how it works, and Logic for the finishing touches. But that's just because I'm not good at Logic yet. Not fast at it.
Get them both! You'll be glad you did.
