DP freezes on AU load

Post by phluide »

Hello guys,

DP has been running crash free for me for sometime. But today it's freezing on boot up.
"Loading plug-in: MAS AudioUnit support Gathering info for Sequential Prophet VS" is displayed.
I have searched for the offending plugin to no avail, Library>Audio>Plug-ins>Components also in MAS folders etc no luck :(
DP7-MAC OSX 10.7.5
I would appreciate if anyone could help thank you.

I've seen a few plugs that install in User>Library>Audio>Plug-Ins>Components. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply Cuttime,
Currently down a rabbit hole... the problem seemed to be related to my novation controller,, I updated my Mac OS and now can't get my Waves plug-ins working, currently talking to waves support, but still no luck, did a fresh install of waves but the plug-ins are not showing up in DP.

User>Library>Audio>Plug-Ins>MAS more likely.

There are a few possibilities including the Carbon/Cocoa graphics issue that can affect many old 32bit plugs when running in a 64bit OS.

If the plugin folders don't show the offending file you might start looking in the Application Support folders and even I the application package contents.
