PSP Issues in High Sierra (already resolved)

Post by mikehalloran »

Posting this to save time in case this happens to you.

I bought the special on PSP MasterComp a couple of weeks ago and ran into a couple of problems. Because I was on the road more than home for the last few weeks, it took awhile to get them resolved.

DP 9.51. OS 10.13.3

The first was that, though PSP plugs I had installed previously worked fine in my test project, adding additional instances caused all of my PSP plugs to run in demo mode. Example: L'Rotary worked fine on track 3 but adding it or anything else caused it to run in demo mode. OK, that's strange.

Antoni sent me new license files and eventually all of my plug-ins worked except MasterComp and the included MicroComp.

I sent a screen shot of my setup to Antoni and he noticed that MasterComp was 1.7.1. Huh? (Must have downloaded the demo years ago) I ran the 1.8.0 installer again with no change. I then navigated to Library/Audio and removed MasterComp & MicroComp from the Components and VST folders. I then re-ran the 1.8.0 installer. Everything's good now.

I have no idea what the issue is with needing new license files for all of my PSP files. PSP? MOTU? Apple? I am quite content to declare victory, move on and never think of this unless it happens again.

Anyway, a shout out to PSP for the quick response and successful resolution.

Yes, I have met him a couple times at NAMM. Good people, indeed.
