AIr Plugins and DP 11 - Mac OS Big Sur

Post by ericshans »

Hi all,

I saw this issue on this forum already for DP 10 but I've just upgraded to DP 11 and most of my Air plug ins will not activate after scanning. It's a real shame b/c i own a bunch of synths from these guys and have used them on so many productions. Examples that will not load : Boom, Xpand2, Hybrid, Loom. Vacuum actually worked. Have not tried Riser yet. Anyone have any ideas on how to get these working?

Thanks

I know I have Xpand2 and Hybrid working on my system. Don't remember who I did it. I might have used one of the main standbys: try launching DP in Rosetta and activating while DP is running in Rosetta. Sometimes that works.

Oh shoot. Sorry. I should have read that part. I'm at a loss, currently, then. :(

I don't really remember the procedure for activating them, but I know I *had* to have done it, because I did a clean install when I updated to my Mac Studio from my MacPro5,1. I have Xpand2 working. I'm using version 2.2.11 of Xpand2. Also have Hybrid version 3.0.7 working here too.

I assume you're on DP 11.22? That's really weird. Do you have Logic by any chance? Or maybe some other app that supports Audio Units? Perhaps you could get past the validation and authorization by attempting to open the plug in one of those apps?
