MX4 works with DP8.06, Mavericks 10.9.3 and 32 Lives 1.0.4!!

Post by James Steele »

There was another post on the board in the MX4 forum where someone got it working with 32 Lives v.1.0.3 in Mountain Lion. It was at the tail end of a topic so just in case anybody missed it... thought I'd share the big news! MX4 is now viable in DP 8.06, Mavericks 10.9.3 and 32 Lives 1.0.4!!

There is still a little graphic glitch wherein the DP VI Window doesn't come to front, but you can cycle through DP's open windows to get it back and close the VI window. See QuickTime movie below:

So it $99 to use MX4 - what other 32bit would this fix?

I don't think I miss MX4 enough to justify the expense.

The YMMV principle applies. 32 Lives allows me to continue to use my Liquid Mix, Slate FG-X, MX-4 and even the original Plugsound Pro (whose library I could use in MachFive 3, but I enjoy the PSP3 interface).

James, thanks for pointing this out. I upgraded to a new mac pro and DP8 and have been slowly getting new updates for 64 bit. I'm demoing 32 Lives and tons of my old 32 bit plugs are working again. This includes Symphonic Instrument. I might even try it with Mach 5 2.

Problem is MX4 isn't opening. It hangs and I have to force quit DP. Every other plug and software seems fine. Did this happen to you too? I downloaded latest version of MX4 but still getting the pinwheel of death. Curious as to what you did to get it to open.

Thank you!!

I'm not sure. I'm not at my studio. I'll have to check into it.
