Third Party Plug Issue

Questions about a few plugs.
Downloaded the free version of digi's bomb factory BF76 (formerly UA1176) but not sure if it's compatible with L8 even though it's an RTAS plug. It self-installed but isn't showing up on the channel strip even after reboot. Anyone know of any issues?
Also tried to install Prosoniq's north pole - - put the RTAS file in lib/audio/plugs/components AND the vst in lib/audio/plugs/vst but am having the same problem - doesn't show up on the channel strip even after reboot.
Running:
Logic 8.0.1
os 10.4.11
Dual 2.3 G5 PPC
4GB Ram
Thanks thanks thanks!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot noeq - - you mentioned you have the bf plugs - - are you using a bridge of some sort? I'm willing to go down that road if need be...
Also wondering if you know anything about the fxpansion vst-au converter? I have it but have been hesitant to use it...
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I use the Bomb Factory, yes, but in ProTools. There is no "bridge" from TDM or RTAS to other plug in formats. Digidesign does not allow that. If you want to use Bomb Factory plug ins, it will be only in ProTools.
I don't own the FXPansion wrapper, but I have heard good things about it.

Logic Pro 9.1.1 AU third-party plug-ins ongoing issue for many

Where is the Logic development team on this? Nearly all third-party AU plug-ins produce random pops and clicks at the beginning of playback and on occasion randomly during playback but before audio regions in tracks with these plug-ins installed. These pops and clicks are even visible in the track's meter. http://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/482381-logic-3rd-party-plugs-pop- click-nightmare-how-does-rest-world-do.html How many people need to complain? Is Logic Pro considered production software?

I can't imagine a more textbook and apple-friendly environment than what I have. 32-bit is not the problem. I don't believe logic runs at 64 until you're on os 10.6 and I'm still on 10.5.8. My entire rig is what you'd see in an apple store logic demo. I've tried nearly everything:
1) All standard optimization tips including but not limited to no date/time updates, no airport/wi-fi, no bluetooth
2) I have a ultra high-quality external fw drive by G-drive
3) Standard issue ensemble with updated firmware
4) Moving AU component files from system library to user library
If you look at the number of people commenting on the GS thread as well as other forums – the problem is common and needs to be fixed. I'm not the only logic user plagued by this issue:
http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=43306
http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=50030
I really believe it has something to do with how many third-party plug-ins handle AU's reset or initialize callbacks; somewhere in between. This bug is clearly affecting many users and I'm coming close to starting a petition and devoting some serious time to making a big dorky stink about it on youtube.
Either the AU spec needs to be updated to clarify some tricks (or hacks) specific to Logic's on-demand DSP usage or the logic team needs to publish a notice to all "Logic" AU developers. Optionally, if Logic had a preference to turn OFF on-demand AU DSP (so that plug-ins are always-on like in every other DAW or...ugh...outboard gear). Logic's on-demand AU DSP handling is outdated considering the processing power available in ANY apple computer made within the last 3 years. My CPU meter in Logic barely even lights up. On-demand DSP is overkill and antiquated and the least Logic can do is provide production or mission-critical users the ability to opt-out if they have the CPU power to do so.
Having said all that; I hope I'm wrong about something and can come back here to eat my words and feel very embarrassed about my rant. I'm going to keep digging for solutions – hopefully, I'll find out the secret to whatever it is the few of you are doing to keep your third-party AU plugs quiet before an audio region starts.
Also; Scott at Stillwell Audio has graciously begun trying to track down this very issue and is one of the few DSPers who has taken interest in helping Logic folk.

Third Party Plug-in Issue

I've recently downloaded a couple third party plug-ins and I can't seem to get them to show up when I open Final Cut.
The folders are in:
HD/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plug ins
But when I open Final Cut they're not showing up in my Video filters folder.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

If the plugins happen to be generators they will appear in the Generators window - not the Video Effects !

Third Party Plug-Ins force screenset on numerical Keys

Hi all,
I switched from G5 and Tiger to Mac Pro and 10.5.5.
After running Logic again I realized, that Logic forces a Sreenset, if a third-party Plug-In is active and you press a key on the numerical keypad. I use the numerical keys for navigating through the song (i.e. 1 and 3 for one bar backwards/forward and 4 and 6 for 8 bars backwards/forward). So, if I adjust a value of a 3rd Party Plug-In and want to navigate through the song, Logic changes the Screenset.
If a Logic or Apple Plug-In is active, this behaviour doesn't occur.
Also strange: I opened the keycommands and reassigned the screenset-numbers 1-9, but when I pressed the numbers which are above the letters (NOT on the numeric pad) and tell Logic to learn the keyPOSITION, it displays the number and the symbol for the numeric Pad.
Could anyone please approve this, or is it just my system?
It would be very nice, if someone could help me in that issue, because that's really annoying...
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Frank

This did not happen when I upgraded from CS3 to CS4 - all my 3rd Party Plug-Ins made that transition quite successfully.
Yes it did. You just don't remember having to deal with it.
Photoshop does not ever install in the same folder as a prior version. Thus CS5 will not see the plug-ins that have been installed in or under the Adobe Photoshop CS4\plug-ins folder.
Thus you will need to install your plug-ins again, pointing them at the CS5 area. Some (as mentioned above) may need to be upgraded.

A third party plug-in disappears after a localization patch installation

I have a third party plug-in installed for PhotoShop CS3.
The third party plug-in disappears after installation of a localization
patch. I tried reinstalling the plug-in, but that does not work.
It appears that after the patch is installed, tw10428.dat maps
the English texts on the menu to Korean.
"$$$/Menu/Help/AboutPhotoshop=Photoshop 정보(&A)..."
"$$$/Menu/Help/AboutPlugin=플러그-인 정보(&B)"
"$$$/Menu/Help/Contents=Photoshop 도움말(&H)..."
"$$$/Menu/Help/Home=Photoshop 온라인(&O)..."
And somehow, the third party plug-in disappears because it's not mapped
in the .dat file. I tried manually editing the file and to input
entries for the third party tool and that does not seem to work.
Do you know how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Chris,
How can I install it correctly? It is
The plug-in was working fine before the patch. The patch
is just an executable which I ran after I closed Photoshop.
There wasn't any error message and the instance of Photoshop
works fine when I re-run it other than the fact that the plug-in
is no longer in the menu.

Third party plug ins-anyone know how to use?

hello all
i just bought garritan personal orchestral and want to use it with logic express. has anyone had experience with using third party plug ins in logic. ive tried moving folders and files around but i cant get logic to recognise the programme. i used to use traktion as software which had a search system for locationg plug-ins but logic seems to have no such feature.
any help would be greatly appreciated
cheers

It sounds like you have a PPC version of Kontakt Player. This works as standalone but not in Logic.
Run Logic AU manager to see if it is recognised.
Remember in all these issues, and setting up the pi in Logic, you are Looking for Kontakt Plaer 2, not Garritan Personal Orchestra.
If not you need to update Kontakt Player. This is a Native Instruments Application and can be updated either by
1. Running Service Centre if it installed when you installed Garitan. It is a separate Application.
2. Go to NI web site http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=updates_us&flash=7 and update there.
The current version of Kontakt Player 2 is 2.2.1.010

PS CS5 Third Party Plug In

I just upgraded from PS CS4 to CS5. Everything okay except I can't access my third-party plug-ins in CS5 that I was using in CS4. Any suggestions about how to load them in CS5.

See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/836/cpsid_83656.html or the other dozen odd topics here about the same issue.
64 bit applications require plugins written for 64 bit.
If you want to use your old 32 bit plugins, you need to launch the application in 32 bits.

Noding and third party plugs

Is there a legal reason behind why apple will not allow 3rd party plug ins to be noded or are they just being cnuts?

That would require separate development. Receptor continually updates to add new plugins. Logic would have to do the same, and while I think this would be cool, I'd rather reserve their development time for internal issues more.
On a side note I think the need for this with third party plugins over logic plugs is because thirdparty plugs tend to be less CPU efficient than Logic ones. I use to use a lot of third party plugs, but these days I've just been studying Logic's more. I know for things like BFD it's hard but, hey compare the CPU of BFD with a well built Ultrabeat set.

How do I add third party plug-in to Acrobat Pro XI and add things to the main menu bar.

Running Acrobat Pro XI, (CC suite) on MacPro OSX 10.8
Main Menu Bar only shows 'Acrobat File Edit View Window Help'.
No Third Party Plug-ins are shown under 'Acrobat' on the Menu Bar
Acrobat Pro 9 (also installed) shows the Third Party Plug-ins and a lot of other options on the Menu Bar
How do I get Pro XI to look like Pro 9

You'll have to install PitStop again and point it at the new Acrobat when it asks you, or you can open the Acrobat 9 package and copy PitStop from the plugins folder into the same folder in Acrobat XI.
You didn't mention which version of PitStop you have so you'll need to check the system requirements to make sure you are compatible.
http://www.enfocus.com/en/support/knowledge-base/pitstop-pro-system-requirements?q=system+ requirements
Also be aware of the interface change between Acrobat 9 and XI, you no longer have all the tool bars available on the top, you now have tools in a column on the right.
But you can drag tool icons up to the top and make sets as well.
You can get information on the differences within PitStop here.

How can I add my software in Adobe's Third-party plug-ins for Adobe Premiere Pro ?

Hi,
Our company have a software called Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere.
Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere is a recommended FLV, MPG, RMVB, HD video import plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro. This plug-in enables users to import FLV videos with various codec like AVC/H.264, AAC, Screen Video, Nellymoser, MP3, PCM, and Sorenson H.263. Besides FLV video, the plug-in allows AVCHD import and HD video import in MTS, M2TS, TP, TS, and MKV formats.
Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere do not convert your video so it keeps video quality for you. The plug-in automatically detects the Adobe Premiere versions on your machine and you can choose the versions to install the plug-in. It currently supports Adobe Premiere Pro 1.0/1.5/2.0/CS3/CS4 and Elements 3.0/4.0/7.0/8.0.
I notice in Third-party plug-ins for Adobe Premiere Pro this part, Adobe didn't get any such plug-ins. They only have two file support plug-ins and Moyea Importer can fill the blank.
Now I want to submit this software on Adobe's site but I don't know where to submit or who I should to contact. Any suggestions? I really need your help and I am sure it is really good software.

Any suggestion? Admin of this board? Who can help me

Third party plug in problem?

I am using IMac 10.6 and have just upgraded from CS4 to CS5. I have been using Nik Complete Collection plug-ins. Where as in CS4 I could select the Nik plug-in under the Photo Shop Filter tool bar, in CS5 it is not showing. Also they do not show up under the Photoshop pull-down "About plug-ins". Supposedly the Nik software is compatible with CS5.
I have reloaded the Nik software. I am still seeing it under the CS4 program. I also have a couple of other third-party plug-in that do not show up.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Running Photoshop CS5 as a 64-bit application (odds are it is). Older plug-ins need to be updated to 64-bit capable version to run in Photoshop CS5 when CS5 is launched as a 64-bit application. Until you get updated plug-ins locate the CS5 folder and select Photoshop CS5 and do a Command I (that's i) and choose to launch as a 32-bit application–the plug-ins should now be available (although you are limited to running CS5 as a 32-bit app which will be able to use much less ram and will run slower).

Third Party Plug-in for Multiple Swatch Palettes in InDesign

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a third-party plug in to have multiple swatch palettes in InDesign? I would like to create different palettes for different sections of the long document --- scrolling through all of the swatches each time is cumbersome.
Many thanks!
Jessica W.

Here's a little trick that may not even require a third party plugin
On the Master Page
Create a bunch of rectangles, colour them with all the swatch colours you need, make as many pallettes as you like.
Then group them together
Create a text frame
Insert the group as anchored objects
Alignment make it away from spine (so it's always way out to the right or left)
Then Move the text frame over so that it encroaches on the page.
duplicate the frame and put it on the other side too.
Now all your pages have palletes of colour beside them. And you can use the Eye Dropper to sample the colours.

IDCS3 WinXP SP2 - Third Party Plug-in from CS2 to CS3

I've upgraded to CS3 with no problems - except for trouble with a third party plug-in. We installed SBREFX.pln, a cross reference plug-in, in our CS2. While many of our CS2 documents don't actually use this plug-in, it was installed when those documents were created.
When opening these docs in CS3, an error message appears stating that the plug-in is not found. (There is no CS3 version of this plug-in, not do we really need it anymore.) While we can bypass the error message, we cannot "package" the CS3 publication for service provider as long as the plug-in is not installed.
The only work-around we've found is to start a new doc in CS3, load the para styles, swatches, master pages, etc from the old CS2 file and copy and paste all the pages from CS2 version to new CS3 doc. VERY time consuming.
We've also tried opening the document in CS2 and managing the plug-ins. But we cannot find a way to turn off, or disable, this cross reference plug-in in CS2. Our thought was to be able to disable it, save the CS2 file, then open that with CS3, hopefully with no plug-in errors.
I appreciate any help anyone can provide.
DH

Bob,
Could Dawne have solved this by inx round tripping in CS2 and then opening the new cleansed CS2 file in CS3?
As I understand it, the fix works because inx does not support the plug-in references. So it should work as well in CS2. Is that correct?
Thanks,
Al

Third party plug in.

I havé installed 2 third party plug ins on my imac 24, Ivory piano, and Artuia Brass, But i cant find it in my list in the Audio unit manager, and ive tried to rescann it several times, but its not comming up on the list, ive tried to look in the manuels and look around in the forums but havent been able to find an answer, so i wonder if there is a speciel button i have to press or if i have to install in the plug ins in a speciel place to get it to work in logic studio 8.. hope theres and answer for my question!...
Louis...

when i do that it says... Kind : Component (PowerPC) so i dont know what to get from that?
Just to clarify this, when it says 'Power PC' that means that it will only work on Power PC machines - those are G4, G5, etc processors, and NOT Intel processors. It will either say 'Universal' (meaning it will work on both Intel and PPC machines) or 'Intel' (Intel only, obviously) in the parenthesis. So now you know!

Third Party Plug Ins & RAM

Hi Guys
My MBP is about a year old now with 2GB RAM and 2.4 GHZ processor.
Until recently I have been running Logic very nicely for my needs, generally 15-20 audio or software instruments tracks with overloading a rather rare occurance. This is with pretty much zero third party plug-ins.
Recently however I purchased EWQLSO silver play edition and have found overloading to be occuring to a quite undesirable degree (with maybe only 3-4 EW instances). Firstly can I clarify that this is simply down to the fact that EW is very CPU hungry? This overloading seems a little extreme, but my sytem is otherwise ok.
As such I am considering upgrading to 4GB RAM and I was wondering will this be worth it and improve my situation here?
I also notice that memory from Apple is rather expensive and is available cheaper elsewhere...is it safe for me to change the memory myself (I don't really trust myself a friend upgraded his RAM manually from a cheap website and encountered one or two problems)?...Also will an upgrade to just 3GB be beneficial at all...I have read that it is better for the RAM in each slot to be identical?
Any other general advise I would very much appreciate.:)
Sam

So far, no one has mentioned "multitimbral" in this thread. I don't know if your third-party software instruments are multitimbral, but if they are, this may even solve your entire problem all by itself. (If your soft instruments are NOT multitimbral, then this won't help at all.)
I also recommend MAXING out your ram, which is ALWAYS a good idea.
IF your instrument has multitimbral capability (Kontakt Player 2, SampleTank, and many others do), then you'll need to read all about it in their manuals, as each one uses a different method of set-up for Logic. Logic plays multitimbral instruments quite nicely.
Basically, this method allows you to use the multitimbral software instrument only ONCE, for up to 16 separate instrument tracks, thereby saving a lot of ram, since the instrument itself takes up so much ram. To do this, you'll need to create your software instrument track(s) as multitimbral in Logic when you create the tracks, then within the individual software instrument itself, you'll have to assign ascending midi channels to ascending pairs of outputs. In other words, midi channel 1 will be assigned to outputs 1-2, midi channel 2 will be assigned to outputs 3-4, etc., all the way through outputs 31-32 assigned to midi channel 16.
Setting this up takes some time, so when you're done, save it as a TEMPLATE in Logic.
Then to MIX each channel separately, you'll need to create a special AUX channel for each track. In Logic, this means you'll have TWO tracks for each instrument: one for the midi data, and one for mixing, effects, etc. But it saves a TON of ram over using a software instrument instance for each track.
I'll search for an earlier thread in this forum, if it still exists, for more details on how to do this, and post the link here if I find it.
