Plug-ins Compatability With IntelMacs

Hi
i was thinking of replacing my G4 Powerbook with a MacBook Pro, but i am unsure if my plug-ins will work.
RMX has a beta which is ok, but Atmosphere and Trilogy are not supported, and is not recommended to use the Rosetta solution - does anyone have another solution ?
Below is a list of my plug-ins, it would be great if somebody who also has them could let me know if they still work with the IntelMac & if the Rosetta solution works for them.
Korg:
Legacy Cell
MS20
Polysix
Wavestation
MDE X
MS-20FX
Native Instruments:
Outer Limits
Percussive Adv. 2
Morphology
Spectrasonics:
Stylus RMX
Atmosphere
Trilogy
Steinberg:
VG Electric Edition
Virtual Acoustic Guitar
Virtual Electric Guitar
MusicLab:
Real Guitar
thanx for the help!
G4 PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) logic pro

That's been my frustration at times but I bought into the Intel macs cuz I needed a new box badly.
The thing with these developers is that they all say when xyz app is out we'll have plugins. You know what? I think that's a major mental retardation move. They lose nothing to make the switch and just have a universal binary ready ahead of xyz app. They're all so freakin' vague about it too it's really really annoying.
I have plugins, but I guess my advantage is that I bought logic after the Intel Mac and logic 7.2 was released (within 1 week of each other) so all plugins I buy I buy the ones that are available. In your case it's a pretty crapola position to be in, and you have to either lobby the developers, or just wait. *****.
I'm part of the software industry and I am baffeled by this irresponsible and illogical way of thinking. I know a lot of the companies don't have a lot of developers, but come on, this will generate more sales for them. I could care less if they charged me an upgrade price if I had a plugin already, but no it seems density has set in and they let Apple just switch ALL their machines to Intel, and now everyone will be buying intel machines, and guess what... the ones without a Universal Binary plugin will lose out.
Lame and real short sighted.

Do Bombfactory Plug-ins work with STP?

Do Bombfactory or Waves plug-ins work with STP? I'm particularly hoping the Bombfactory ones do. Thanks.

Waves plugins work since they're available as AudioUnits. Bombfactory won't work because they're only RTAS.

10.6.8 won't run on a PowerPC Mac.
10.6.8 also won't run the latest Java. Here's what version of Java you can run:

Plug-ins Incompatible with Leopard?

I've downloaded numerous 3rd party plugs & Garageband (version 4.1.1) doesn't seem to register any of them after dragging the plugs to library>audio>plug-ins>components. I've never encountered this problem with any other OS/version of Garageband. I can live without most of my Waves plugs for awhile since they currently don't support Leopard, but desperately need a deesser and none (including Spitfish) will register. Is this simply just a compatibility issue? If so, are there any known [free] 3rd party developers that support Leopard?
Thanks.

I've actually noticed that several third party plug-ins such as various iZotope aren't visible in GB08. The list incldes Guitar Rig 2, which I used with no problem in the previous verision of GB but it's nowhere to be seen in the list of plug-ins in GB08.
I still use Tiger.

Are any plug-ins compatible with the trial version of Photoshop CS6?

Are any plug-ins that work on Photoshop CS5 compatible with CS6?
Also, the Deblur plug-in does not seem to be included in the trial version. Will it be included in the final release?
Thank you for your time.

The "deblur technology demo" was just a demonstration of technology being researched. It is not currently a feature in Photoshop or an available plugin.

Will old plug-ins work with 64bit CS4?

Will my 32bit CS3 plug-ins (Neat Image, etc) work with CS4? Also, will CS3 actions and scripts work in CS4?

>and he's always around and responsive when an issue pops up.
Then he should discover how to join the Adobe Solutions Network and get access to the development program. Adobe can't go out and scour the bushes to find people to invite (although they try). It's up to the developer to come to Adobe to get help. And, while Adobe DID require people to join ASN for a fee to get the CS2 SDK, that was changed for CS3 (and will be the same for CS4 as far as I know). And yes, to get the beta SDK one DOES have to sign an NDA...DOH!
So, one can sit on the sidelines and piss&moan about lack of access to the SDK or, if one is a "legitimate" (meaning somebody or company that is doing this for a living and NEEDS the SDK for a product that compliments Photoshop), then it's THEIR responsibility to go out and find out what they need to do to get the SDK that they need. Posting in a public forum about not being able to get the SDK isn't the way a "legitimate" developer would go about trying to get the info they need.

IMovie10 supports plug-ins created with Motion5

ok, first of all:
You signed on first launch of iMovie to accept the Terms Of Use… which, somewhere, mentions, you are using this software 'as is'.
ANY manipulations to its internals violates this ToU!
So, I'm just talking academic here, and I will NOT share here the process in detail. I found the idea on the net, smarter people like me had found it. But as a long-time contributor on this board, mentioned as one of the 'Top Participants' in this community, I feel the obligation, to share this insight:
as you can see here…
a) my handmade, own Motion5 title appears in iM10 Titles browser
b) it shows the generic preview icon as any M5 effect
c) you can apply it to the project
d) it works…
Haven't had the time to dig any deeper; the part of iMovie, which is 'in charge' for plugins, is even localized:
… and lists the many 'effects' tabs of iMovie10…
I haven't tested yet, what is all 'allowed', what works, what not.
AGAIN: This is just a 'proof of concept'!
If you like to try on your own, be aware of what you do!
Finally:
Goiod News!
… opens the door for 3rd-party plug-ins/add-ons/themes!

Favorite But Lengthy FXPlug Plug Ins Test With ATI 3870

I'm going to be testing the AMD/ATI 3870 for FXPlug In acceleration versus a stock nvidia card.
Does anybody have a favorite FXPlug in FCP that frustrates them with lengthy renders?
If so let me know and I'll run a test on it with the new card.
Thanks

Cool and Cool. Mine is now installed and things are looking great thus far. I'm doing some preliminary testing but I'm also on a job so thanks for putting some testing out there.
Zoom Blurs, Shines and all things lighting seem to be render intensive. Complex PAINT as well. Can you benchmark at DVCPROHD 720p60? That's my sweet spot right now for many of my clients. Anything with several layers of fx, etc.
I'll be going through the Noiseindustries plugs when I get a chance, but I'm happy to be up and running with the 3870. My X1900XT is now my back up and I have some peace of mind.
cheers and thanks for offering.

Can I control the plug ins parameters with a single knob?

I have a question for garageband users. I have the iControl from m-audio to control the paramteters of a plug in but most of the times the knobs don't correspond and it takes a lot of times to figure out which knob controls what. So I use iControl mainly for play rec and the scroll wheel is very helpful. I also use metric halo ChannelStrip and it has a lot of parameters. With this plug in and many other when you put the mouse over a knob you can control it by turning the arrow up down, I find this very imprecise and I would like something else. Is it possible to click with the mouse on a parameter knob of a plug in and increase or decrease it with an external knob?
I don't know if my question is clear, may be it's possible to do that with some midi programmation?
Thanks in adavance for all input

You have an overdetermined system. To exactly define one of three states, only two booleans are needed.
Test for too low and too high and if both are false we are automatically in range, right?
Here's what you could do.

Is any Logic 8 (Studio) user able to open STP with audio units plug-ins?

All of my 3rd party audio units plug-ins work with Logic 8: UAD, Powercore, PSP, NomadFactory, and RND.
MainStage and WaveBurner open without any problems.
Soundtrack Pro will only open if all of my AU plug-ins are removed to a "Components (Disabled)" folder.
I tried adding a few AU back into the components folder. Some seem ok, but if STP crashes after more AU's are added, then those that previously passed inspection seem to then cause STP to crash on start up.
I've tried trashing the com.apple.soundtrackpro.plist, EffectsCache.plist with temporary benefit.
I would like to use STP for mastering Logic audio mixes before burning in WaveBurner. Isn't this one of the benefits of purchasing Logic Studio???
What to do???

A little patience pays off...
The problem is...the +_*&^%$#@!!! TC PowerCore plugins!!!
And I'm somebody who actually likes them.
After receiving a suggestion that the TC Assimilator in particular might be problematic, I decided to gradually add everything but TC plugs. STP is now well behaved. I tested the waters by adding TC ClassicVerb and MegaVerb. So far...OK. The TC ClassicVerb is one of the best out there besides the $699 TC VSS3.
I can live without the other TC stuff for right now.
Again, I really appreciated the support.

Problem with plug-ins

I can't seem to open iSync because there seems to be a problem with every plug-in. Thing is I am not sure if these plug-ins came with the recent update or whether they are part of a third party download. Does anyone recognise this problem or how I can deal with it?
Cheers, olly

I see what happened now...
You didn't have a problem "with every Feisar plug-in", because you actually only had one Feisar plugin installed (for the K800).
Looking at your other posts it appears you also had all the novamedia plugins installed too.
So, iSync was having a problem with every novamedia plug-in, not every Feisar plugin, because you didn't have every Feisar plugin installed.

ANN: LR/Mogrify integration with Jeffrey Friedl's Plug-ins and LR/Transporters

Hi all,
You've been asking for this, and thanks to Jeffrey's hard work it's now possible.
LR/Mogrify can now be used in tandem with any of Jeffrey's plug-ins and with my own LR/Transporter. Here are the appropriate links :

Congratulations, Tim!
Piglet architecture and your cooperation with Jeffrey so impressed me!
Now your tools fit to my workflow and work quite well for me.
(I am using transporter + mogrify piglet for automatic JPG proofs preparation and export to separate folder tree)
The main problem now (I am on PC) is spawning MOGRIFY.EXE - it is popping up for each image on top of the other windows and take focus, not allowing to do anything on PC until export finished.
I think it should be the way to use CORE_RL_magick_.dll directly from LUA code.
If not, spawning MOGRIFY.EXE _minimized_ will help alot.
Thank you for you geat tool again!

Installing Old Plug-ins into CS5

Is it possible to install old plug-ins (plugins) into Adobe Photoshop CS5?
I have tried a couple of my old plug-ins and could not get any to show up under the Filters menu.
I installed to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins
I tried installing Noise Ninja 2.3.2.
I tried installing Kodak GEM AIR Pro.
I tried installing Phototune SkinTun.
No luck with any of them.
I also tried installing a couple to
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Filters

No one is likely to have a FIX, per se.
32 bit plug-ins only work with 32 bit Photoshop, while only 64 bit plug-ins work with 64 bit Photoshop. I suspect the 32/64 bit mismatch may be at the root of the problem you're seeing, Hawaii-geek.
Plug-ins generally need to be installed in the new version of Photoshop.
For 32 bit plugins, maybe, just MAYBE, for an individual plugin you can find a way to copy the proper file(s) so that Photoshop CS5 will find them under its OWN Plug-ins subfolder. Photoshop enumerates plugins it finds there when it first starts. But this is not a given as a plug-in may set up things other than just the files when it is installed.
The one thing to remember is that you ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT point the "Extra Plug-ins Folder" at the Plug-ins folder of an old Photoshop installation. Doing so will mix plugins supplied with the older Photoshop version with your new Photoshop version, and this WILL cause you problems.
HangtownGal is using that feature right. For simple one-file plugins, you should be able to point every version of Photoshop to a common separate plug-ins folder, but keep in mind the 32 vs. 64 bit issue I mentioned above. As Chris states, 32 bit Photoshop will only load 32 bit plug-ins, and 64 bit Photoshop will only load 64 bit plug-ins (which are reasonably rare still). And keep in mind more complex plugins often are sets of files that are sometimes copied to a number of different places in the Photoshop installation area.
Why is it you think someone else needs to FIX this problem?
Did you not keep the installation package and/or instructions you got with your old plugins? For those that cannot be installed into a Photoshop version that didn't even exist when they were released, have you checked to see if there are updates available from the plugin manufacturers? You may very well have to pay to upgrade these. You paid to upgrade Photoshop, so is that a problem?

"3rd Party Plug-Ins" Not Showing Up In Preference Pane...

I'm trying to install a couple of 3rd-Party Plug-Ins... Apparently the procedure for this is to go to Preferences, and in the "General" pane, there should be a heading that says "3rd Party Plug-Ins" along with buttons "Choose..." and "Clear" and a path.
On my General Preferences Pane, there is no such section... It goes right from "Content Library & Templates" to "Media," with no "3rd Party Plug-Ins" listed anywhere in the pane.
Using Motion 3.0.2.... Did something change and they didn't change the manual to match? Or is there some setting elsewhere that's making that option disappear?
Thanks!!!
Nick

Howdy,
The "3rd party plug-ins" section in the Library and preferences really refers to AE plug-ins. Third-party FxPlug plug-ins (like dvMatte or Boris Continuum) show up mixed in with the regular filters and generators.
That "3rd party plug-ins" path setting in the preferences doesn't appear on Intel-based Macs, as they're no longer supported. If you have a PowerPC system, they'll show up (and so will the setting).

World music & orchestra plug ins keep disappearing and reappearing

I'd be grateful if anyone can explain how to keep the plug ins like orchestral and world instruments in my library permanently as sometimes when I select an instrument, the plug ins disappear from the list and I don't know how to access them until they somehow re appear. Is there an icon or a setting I can select to keep all the instruments in the library tab at all times.
These plug ins came with logic express automatically.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello Again,
I tried adding a new software instrument, then clicked on the settings button - but still no world or orchestral options - according to the manual they should automatically be in the settings tab along with all the other usual options - I'm wondering if it's a bug in logic express 9?
