Effect Error

Post by niken »

Hello,

When opening an existing project with effects I get the message "effect error, the following effects could not be found"
All the DP plug-ins are listed in that window.

Can someone help me out please?

Kind regards

Hi.

Is it a DP or a 3rd party plug?

If the latter, make sure you didn't move the shell from the folder it is supposed to be. I would look if it's there.
Mac Mini Server i7 2.66 GHs/16 GB RAM / OSX 10.14 / DP 9.52
Tascam DM-24, MOTU Track 16, all Spectrasonics' stuff,
Vienna Instruments SUPER PACKAGE, Waves Mercury, slaved iMac and Mac Minis running VEP 7, etc.

Hello

The standard audio plug-ins that comes with DP 4.5
No third party
I discovered that all off the plug-ins are back except the master works limiter and the master works EQ
And I did nothing??

Also I can't point out the apple software synthesizer to other instruments within that library?? I can't make a patch change?

I didn't move anything

Hi

Set the language on your computer to english.

This kind of problems have been appearing if the language is not set to english.

I hope this helps.

Repair Permissions with the Disk Utility.
Disk Utility is inside the Utilities folder.

You can also trash DP preferences found in:
User Library > Preferences > Digital Performer•„• > Preferences

Then restart computer and open DP.
