Trying to load 3rd party plugins in Main Stage

I'm trying to load 3rd party plugins in Main Stage. I get as far as creating a new channel strip. When I click and hold on I/O, however, the dropdown only goes down as far as "Garageband instruments." Shouldn't I also be seeing "AU" instruments below that? Can anybody walk me through doing this function?

Hi,
you might try a macro / keyboard recorder. I use autohotkey (www.autohotkey.com). If you have selected one or more items in the grid view and press ctrl-shift-n this script:
;LR Start external editor #7
^+n::
#IfWinActive Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
Send {RButton}
Send {Down 8}
Send {Right}
Send {Down 7}
Send {Enter}
return
opens the files in the 7th external editor. Of course the number depends on your installed editors and might change with additional editors.

How do I add a third party plugin in main stage

Hi,
I have the latest version of mainstage and I just downloaded Lounge Lizards Rhodes sounds. It has a stand alone application, but I want to use those sounds in mainstage...
How the heck can I do this? I've looked everywhere, and it's not recognised in the AU or instrument section at all...
Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way?
I'm brand new at this and I'm reading through the manuals. Still don't think it covers it that well?
Just so you know, I added NLogPolySynth successfully, but mainstage recognised it whenever I started up mainstage, so it was all automatic.
Thanks!

Why are illustrator CS4 3rd party plugin panels taking minutes to load?

Hello Everyone
I use IL on Mac and use some 3rd party plugins with my software [This problem is most noticeable with the Cvalley plugins - Filterit and Xtreampath]. The problem is that often they'll take many minutes to load and stay as blank grey panels [as seen in the picture] with no manipulatable variables - does anyone know the reason for this and how to speed up their load time? as you'd imagine it slows me down a lot.
Here's an image of one of the dreaded blank panels; http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d188/OphidianShenzi/blankpanel-1.jpg
Thank you greatly in advance again.

Are any of them PowerPC plugins (pre-2006)?
Is the sufficient disk space?*:

Have you tried repairing permissions?

Cannot figure out how to get 3rd party plugins to load

Hey All.
I'm attempting to use 3rd party plugins (specifically, ValhallaFreqEchoMkI 1.01), and I cannot figure out how to get them to show up in MainStage (ver 3.0.4). I know how to use native plugins as chanel strips and in the Audio FX section on the strip, but I cannot figure out how to ACCESS the patches I have downloaded. Please help!
-thanks, Jim

All,
To turn on the CMSS features. The sticky at the top of this (Sound Blaster) forum covers the steps on how to enable surround sound effect or you can check out the Knowledgebase article for the steps.
For those with PlayCenter software, you could check the Extigy as example.

3rd party plugins not working after archive and install

hi,
i have a few 3rd party plugins in my logic pro, such as all the native instruments, waves diamond, ik multimedia plugins, atmosphere and a few more,
i was getting an error on my g5 when i tried to run diskwarrior from the disk. it was the kernal panic message, it said i had to restart my mac, therefore i couldnt run diskwarrior from disk.
i did a bit of research and a few people suggested doing a archive install, so i did.
well what do you know, i had to re-install logic 8 again. other programmes such as transcribe, itunes idvd imovie etc were ok.
but logic didnt load up, o i had to re-install logic again,
also before i did that i checked to see if my 3rd party plugin were working in standalone, so i check all the native instruments and they seemed to work ok, T-racks deluxe works fine, so i thought they should all load up in logic.
once logic was installed again and had to get all the updates all my 3rd party plugins did not show up on my AU validation.
is there a way to get logic to see my 3rd party plugins or do i have to re-install all of them again.
cheers for the help
lib

Then check if the NI AU components are actually where they should be:
HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
If not copy them over from your "previous systems" folder which was created on your HD during the archive and install process.

Disappearing "3rd Party Plugin" option

I recently tried to change the search path for 3rd party plugins to my After Effects plugins folder (Applications > Affter Effects > Plug-ins). They still wouldn't show up when I'd open Motion and navigate to the 3rd Party folder in the Library. So I gave up and didn't bother with it any more.
I was more distracted by the fact that none of my Replicators or Particle Emitters were showing up, so I re-installed (or possibly installed for the first time, this is a work computer, so I didn't do the initial installation) the Motion Content and they all appeared as expected. Now, here's what's confusing me:
When I go into Motion's Preferences now, there is no longer even an option to set the path for 3rd Party Filters and Plugins (under the Content Library & Templates section)...
Anyone know how I can fix this and get my plugins to work? I didn't have any trouble doing it on an ancient G4 Powerbook, but for some reason a fully-loaded MacPro is being difficult with me.
Thanks for any help.

I'm sorry, I don't think I explained this clearly enough:
My problem is NOT that the plug-ins won't show up in my Library after I set the path to a particular folder in Motion's Preferences.
My problem is that there is no longer even an option anymore to set the path to a particular folder in Motion's Preferences! It was there before, and now it has just disappeared! I don't know how to get it back. When I open Motion's Preferences pane now, in the General section, the sections are as follows:
Startup
Interface
File Browser & Library
Content Library & Templates
Media
Keyframe Editor
Normally, the "3rd Party Plugins" section is right below the "Content Library & Templates" section, but it's not there anymore...
I apologize for any confusion caused by an earlier post and hope my problem is more clearly understood now. Thanks!

Possible to control 3rd party plugin/palette?

Is it possible to write something (JavaScript/COM programming/plugin) that has access to a 3rd party plugin/palette? I'm talking about XMPie uDirect. XMPie doesn't offer an official API for the plugin but I want to invoke a special action automatically that can be accessed only by the plugin's InDesign palette. I want some kind of automation.

This won't work, sorry. The palette cannot be controlled through the menus... except showing/hiding it.
I got the same idea with system events. It would be great to have a program that sniffs system events and gives information when I press a special button in the InDesign palette. The 3rd party plugin should be a kind of library like DLL that exports functions. Does anybody know a program that can monitor InDesign.exe with all its sub-processes, DLL handles and called DLL functions?
[Edit:] I tried a DLL viewer which can open and show XMPie's plugin files XMPBackEnd5.apln and XMPFrontEnd5.apln (APLN = InDesign PlugIn). They seem to be normal DLL files. If anybody knows the secrets of "decrypting" DLLs it would be nice to know if this can help me. I need to invoke the plugin's commands for XMPie's "Dynamic Print" (new dialog opens) and then just confirm with "OK" to start the export.

Quick look 3rd party plugins not working

The 3rd party plugins not working. Illustrator, Folder view, and quark are the three I use. They worked nice in 10.5.x Tried /Library/quicklook/ tried /user/library/quicklook/ even forced into system/library/quicklook/
Anybody else use these or any other 3rd party plugin?

I can confirm that Folder View plugin no longer works. the developer discusses it here
http://www.flickr.com/photos/t_trace/2060171212/
but I can't understand if they figured out how to fix it or not.

Sort 3rd party plugins by categories

Hi there,
If this has already been asked, my apologies, I haven't found an answer to it using the search engine.
Is there a way to sort 3rd party plugins by categories, like Logic's built-in plugs (Compressors, EQs, Delays, Reverbs, etc...)?
It would be much better to search the plugins by category than by manufacturer name, don't you think?
Again, sorry if this is an old question.
And thanks in advance.

The problem with organising your plugins into channel strips is that it works fine to load the complete channel strip, but obviously cannot be used to load individual plugins on a channel.
I would like to be able to organise/customise my plugin menu in the way that best suits me, including not having to scroll all the way down to the third-party list and so on - I agree that this way of loading plugins is pretty inefficient.
Unfortunately, while this is technically easier using a Mackie Control (because you can scroll through the plugins with a knob before clicking it to load that selected plugin) - it's also next to useless because the plugin list is seemingly random, meaning that each time you scroll to a new plugin, you have no idea whether this is going to be the one you want, or whether it will take another 53 knob turns before you get there.
The library is supposed to be the redeveloped solution for this, and while it helps to a degree I actually don't like wasting a quarter of the available screen space having it open, or hitting a key command to open and close it just to load plugins. But you can't load individual plugins from the library anyway - it's either channel strips, or plugin settings/instruments. There is no way to highlight the plugin slot and then see your plugin list - so we are back to the navigate through four sub menus dance to load a plugin.
So none of the current methods are particularly good, imo. I'd like to see something better. At the very list, a menu list of "Favourite Plugins" at the top of the menu list which you could organise and choose which plugins should go in there.

How do you install and delete 3rd party plugins from Logic 9?

I have been trying to install RX2 from iZotope with no success. I can authorize it in the standalone version but not in logic. I had a previous demo version of it installed and everytime I went to authorize it would point to the earlier version and not authorize and run in demo. I removed a number of files pertaining to it from HD & User/ Library/ Preferences and Audio/ Components and tried reinstalling. Now it doesn't even show up in the plugin list. Can anyone tell me how to clear this up? Also, how to deal with 3rd party plugins. What can I say, no problems with Reaper! Appreciate any help with this. Thanks

The Isotope website isn't very clear about it.. It seems to indicate the Windows version is 32 and 64 bit where as the AU version is 32bit and will work/is compatible with Logic 64bit.. which it will as it will run under the 32 to 64bit bridge... when Logic is run in 64bit mode..but as i said, it's hard to tell one way or the other.
The thing is, if you simply reinstall it.. and then run Logic first in 32bit mode and then in 64bit mode.. it should show up.
Where are you looking for it in Logic?
Does it show up in the AU Plugin Manager? (after, that is you have reinstalled it)

3rd party plugins make Acrobat Crash

Hello, I am running Windows 7. When I install Third Party Plugins into the plugins folder, Acrobat crashes 20-30 seconds after it opens. I have tried this with Acrobat Pro 9, Acrobat Pro XI and Reader X. Always I get the same result. HELP!

Hi controls guy,
You need to check with the developer of these 3rd party plugins as to what might be causing the crash.

3rd Party Plugins Have Disappeared After OS X Mavericks Update

Hi. I'm have a bit of a panic here.
I'm a sound engineer and I use Mainstage 2 frequently to run all FX live for a variety of artists.
After reading forums with regards to the Mavericks update, I found no evidence of it causing issues with Mainstage of Logic.
HOWEVER, I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks yesterday and Mainstage has decided to throw a massive wobbly. When I load up my show, it says "The plug-in named 'XXXXX' is not available on your sysem." It's done this for every single 3rd-party plugin on my machine so I basically have nothing! Good one Apple!
I restored my machine to a backup I took just before the OS upgrade. Guess what.......it's even doing it there now! It's back on Snow Leopard. I've been into the folders and all the plugins are there. For some reason, Mainstage isn't finding them. I'm at a total loss and about to throw this thing out the window.
Can anybody save me???
Thanks.
Jonny

Verified and repaired disk permissions but still no luck.
I thought Time Machine was meant to put the computer back to its exact state at the time of back-up?!
Anybody know if there's a UK phone number for an expert on Logic/Mainstage?!
Thanks.

3rd Party Plugins

I have been enjoying some of Logics plugins and would like to partake of other plugins out there that people rave about. I don't have an indepth understanding of how the plugins interface with Logic. Can I just buy say a Waves bundle and load the software into logic and start using the plugins? Do I need to buy a special card that will allow me to use the plugins.
Do 3rd party plugins create any difficult latency problems. I understand that adding any plugin will cause latency, but as long as Logic can be adjusted to compensate for it that doesn't bother me.

Can I just buy say a Waves bundle and load the software into logic and start using the plugins?
Yep. Logic will automatically see any third-party AU plugins installed on your computer.
Do I need to buy a special card that will allow me to use the plugins.
In general, no - "Native" plugins run on the computer. There are some types of plugins that run on hardware cards, such as UAD-1 plugins or Powercore plugins, but the vast majority of plugins are native.
Do 3rd party plugins create any difficult latency problems.
No, they work exactly the same as Logic's internal plugins.
I understand that adding any plugin will cause latency,
No, Logic will compensate for latency when it can except when you are monitoring in realtime, because this is impossible. The same is true for Logic plugins that require some buffer overhead to work.
but as long as Logic can be adjusted to compensate for it that doesn't bother me.
Yep, there is no practical difference between using internal Logic plugins and external third-party ones.

3rd party plugins crash Premiere after restart.

Yesterday, everything worked fine. I have a Sequence with clips and have been happily rendering from it for a week.
It has a mixture of Magic Bullet Looks, Film Convert and native effects across a range of clips.
Today, on opening Premiere I find that if any of the 3rd party plugins are enabled I can't render - worse, they crash Premiere.
I have not installed anything or changed anything since I was last using Premiere. I installed an update to the Creative Cloud desktop app this morning, but that was after I started having these issues.
I have tried restarting Premiere numerous times.
Rendering is fine with native Premiere plugins.
System:
Win 7 Pro
Core i7 950
12gb RAM
Quadro FX3800
Running Adobe CC, latest versions

It gets wierder. After the Creative Cloud desktop app was updated it said a whole bunch of programs needed updating so I updated Premiere.
On restart it now wont even recognise the .MTS files it was happily reading earlier.
Apparently it is now an Unsupported Compression Type, which it clearly wasn't earlier.
Windows plays the file fine so this is ANOTHER Premiere issue I'm having now...
