I'm facing a weird problem: All motu's own plugins don't show the numbers in the plugin window. So for example the Dynamics plugin doesn't give me my ratio. The plugin works, I can turn the knobs, but cannot 'read' them.
Anybody knows what I can do about this?
One more thing: My MW Equalizer plugin doesn't have a name anymore. It's in the plugin list, appearing as an empty line...
some weird things...

I get this bug each time I don't turn power in proper order :
For my system : Mac, then usb soundcard1, then firewire souncard2, then run DP4.6.
DP dislike very much any audio hardware change (power on or off) while running.
I tried everything till OS re-install, DP re-install, to not avail.
I finaly found a trick :
Download a little free OSX utility called OnYx
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
Choose and download accordingly to your OS (Panther or Tiger)
Install it.
On cleaning page, just run the font-buffer cleaning, reboot and voila.
All your plugins are back and working !
Tell us if this is working for your system
Good sounds on you !

My system is a Dual 1.8G5, 10.4.6, 1,25GB Ram, no Junk.
The only thing I have installed recently is probably a bundel of freeware plugins (digitalfishphones).
Can I re-install DP from the CD?
How can reset the settings of DP, and probably have DP rescan my plugins?

I use english DP4.61 and french OSX.
But I don't feel language is related to this issue. Who knows ?
But shure this issue comes up each time I make unusual changes in hardware - powering on or off my audio cards - while DP is up.
Whenever possible I even avoid opening a DP project with a missing soundcard, if this one was used for this last saved project.
I have red on his forum DP is very picky about hardware type of things. That's also what I experiment.
By the way I had no issue at all by the days I was using only one single Motu 828 soundcard.
Repairing permission, trashing preference, re-intsalling DP is no cure to this issue.
But font-buffer cleaning with OnYx and reboot is a quick and good workaround on my system.
What's next ?

Get rid of iSight or at least disable it. My recent quirks started up again-- and I'd forgotten that when I updated to OS 10.4.5 a few weeks ago, I'd forgotten to disable the newer version of iSight and Widgets. Tossed these out and quirks stopped immediately.

The real words are "font-caches cleaning".
This is done very quickly by an utility named OnyX

it offers several maintenance utlilities
I use it almost every day
it helps keeping my system clean and responsive
Good to know you're out of this issue.
