Ethno incompatible with DP 7.2.4?
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 9:27 am
I have a Quad Core Intel based 3GHz Mac Pro with 6 GB RAM and two 400 GB internal hard drives. I had been running Leopard with DP 6.02 and Ethno 1.01.
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and DP 7.2.4. Suddenly I couldn't launch DP. At launch all the plug-ins passed inspection, but when it reached 'examining Ethno,' it would crash, and I'd get a message saying 'unable to open due to failure of unidentified executable.' I tried restarting; no dice. I tried trashing DP's preference files and then restarting; no dice.
Then I found the following suggestion here in a forum: go to Library➜Audio➜Plug-ins➜Components & MAS and trash anything related to Ethno. This worked great; DP launched flawlessly. Unfortunately now I don't have Ethno.
I considered that Ethno 1.01 might not be compatible with DP 7, which I've seen confirmed here in another forum, so I started installing Ethno 2, but when I tried to copy the sample banks, each of which holds 8 GB, the Finder kept giving up after exactly 4.8 GB had been copied.
Any ideas? I'm in the middle of a project for which Ethno would be incredibly helpful. HELP!!
