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.

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...

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:
Mac HD > library > application support > digidesign > plug-ins
Mac HD > library > audio > plug-ins > components
Mac HD > library > audio > pug-ins > MAS
Mac HD > library > audio > plug-ins > VST

Looking for audio extractor app

Hi. I'm looking for an audio extractor (just want music, not video).
Could someone recommend an app for this? I found nothing on Update and Tracker. Well, there's the one Audio Converter but the review is not good.
The music I want is in a .avi movie file.
Thanks.

QuickTime Pro, 30 bucks to get the key from Apple, will do this. Open the .avi file with QuickTime player, go to menu item Window->Show Movie Properties, select the Track and click the Extract button. A new QT window opens with just the sound, you can then File->Export and save it as an aif file, even convert the aif file to mp3 in iTunes. I think you can bring up the Buy option right from QuickTime player's menu item, try selecting Registration.

Looking for audio switching answer

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to separate my audio out from my built in audio, maybe via USB? The only thing I can find that might enable me to do this is the Griffin iMic. All I want is to be able to switch from iTunes playback from my stereo to built in audio sounds. At the moment I have an audio out cable plugged in which disconnects the built in speakers. Is there a simper way to do this or is the iMic the way to go?
Thanks
iLee

try this
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS002475
you should ask Lenovo for detail audio spec (and find it at audio manufactured site), or use 3rd party application, or update your windows. This is not OS related issue. Nothing much we can do here

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

Looking for audio equalizer

I just received my very first mac a week ago. When I was looking through the sound preferences in system preferences, i realized there was no audio equalizer. Do you guys know of any free ones I can use for safari and other programs?

Hi,
This is the Logic forum. You may get more answers on the OSX forum.
There is a free technique I found here (i have not tried it):

Is this what you want to do?

HP Pavilion a1210n with Windows Vista 32bit. looking for audio drivers. Can you point me to a link?

Hello,
I have an HP Pavilion a1210n running Windows Vista 32bit. I'm missing the audio drivers and can't seem to find them. Can you point me to a link for these drivers?
Thanks, It's much appricieated!

I found this link but it doesn't talk about audio drivers in the multimedia package. Am I missing something? Does Vista need to have all OS updates installed for this to work?
Thanks again!

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?

jimodon wrote:
This happened with my MacBook too. LogicExpress9. I read somewhere else that it was caused by MacKeeper?
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!

I installed an AU workstation for logic, and i put the component in the components folder, but no matter what I will do, it does not show up in logic for audio units.. ive been trying for 3 days so please help

Ive literally tried everything no joke

Is it an instrument or an insert effect? My guess is you've been trying to find it amongst the insert effects, where it actually is an instrument, which can only be loaded in the Instrument Slot.

Plug ins- Audio units question from a Cubase SX user

With Cubase SX3 I have 7 VST instruments (2) bass (4) synth (1) drums + at least 100+ effect plug ins. If you add my Powercore firewire plugins, Waldorf Attack, Absynth 3 battery 2 I have a nice arsenal. I know AB3, Battery and the Powercore work in Garageband so I would assume the same for Logic but I need to know cause it looks like I'm giving up instruments (SX3)for Audio Units(Logic) Am I right ? If so what Audio Units / plug ins come with Logic and Logic Express? I want to get Logic for my other studio is it worth learning?
rdee

Hi,
Take a look at http://www.fxpansion.com/product-auadapter-main.php . This plugin should enable you to use your VST plugins in Logic (if I'm not terribly wrong).
Logic Express comes with 4 synths, 1 sample player, 3 delays, 4 distortions, 6 plugins for dynamics (compressors etc.), 6 EQ's, 6 filters, 6 modulation plugins, 4 reverbs, and some nice special ones like a tuner, pitch correction and vocal transformer. Besides this, there are quite a few good (and free) AU plugins. My favourites are Sampletank Free and Ambience (Smartelectronix).
I think that Logic has the right name: it's very logical to use. Besides that most of the plugins sound great.
Regards,
Jaap

All my Audio Units are missing... ?

Hi. I've just reinstalled OSX on a new blank HD, and reinstalled Logic Express 7.0, LE 7.1 and Reaktor 5. When I open up LE I don't have any Audio Units available. When I open up the 'Logic Audio Units Manager' it shows nothing at all - no AUs. Can anyone think of anything I need to do to correct this ? Or should I just cross my fingers and reinstall everything ?
Thanks.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Found it. I hadn't activated Core Audio. Once I activated that it rescanned for Audio Units and seems now to be working OK..

Logic Pro 9 hangs when scanning Audio Units

Hi everyone,
I'm having some issues with Logic Pro, it's being run for the first time after a rebuild but it seems to just hang when trying to scan for audio units. I get this message:
+"Logic Pro will now test 40 installed Audio Unit plug-ins to maximize system stability. This AU validation can take some time. Subsequent launches of Logic Pro do not require this test and will be much faster."+
I then get a progress bar and a "Scanning Audio Units (finalized 0 of 40)" box with an abort option. The abort option doesn't do anything but I can still quit Logic using the cmd+Q shortcut.
So far I've tried -
1.) Booting into Logic without Core Audio and opening AU manager. It starts up but for some reason the manager simply refuses to open. I click on it and nothing happens.
2.) Deleted the com.apple.audiounits.cache in my ~/Library/Caches/ folder.
3.) Updated Logic to the latest version (9.1.3, was on 9.0.0)
4.) Removed all my NI Komplete 7 components from the /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components folder. This simply made Logic think there were only 22 AUs to scan instead of 40, but it still wouldn't do anything.
Oh and if it makes any difference I'm running a Mac Pro (2 x 2.8 Quad Xeons, 4GB RAM, OS 10.5.8)
Any ideas as to why Logic is hanging like this?
Cheers, Dan

Thanks for the reply.
Logic 9 can actually be either 64 or 32 bit depending on what you want to run it as (or which OS you have in this case.) I checked mine and it is definitely running in 32-bit mode, so there shouldn't be any conflicts on that side of things. See here : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3989
Plus, it has perviously worked with this OS version and on this very machine in fact, which is why it's so puzzling.
