AU PlugIns won't rescan after traveler installed

Post by haug01 »

I have a Mac Mini with SSDs, DP 6.03, NI Komplete, OS 10.6.6. Kontakt 4.2.2.4504 component worked great. I installed Traveler software easy install. The traveler didn't show. I uninstalled. Reinstalled custom install USB Firewire only. Traveler shows up. Now DP only loads the MAS plugins. Trashing MOTU Audio System Prefs never causes reexamination of the components. I have to disable and then reenable the audio units in DP preferences to get a new MOTU Audio System Prefs file created by the system. Still the components are never re-examined. The components still work in Logic 9. MOTU USB/firewire driver 1.6. Traveler firmware 1.2. All updated. Any ideas? :banghead:

If this isn't what you did, quit DP, trash the "Audio Unit Info Cache" and relaunch.

user/Library/Preferences/Digital Performer/Audio Unit Info Cache

Thank you Dan. There is no such file in that folder. I used Terminal to also show hidden files and it is still not there. The closest file name is Audio Plug-In Prefs. The file types in this folder are showing up as WaveBurner Preferences.

That's very odd. When that file gets trashed a new one is created and all the AU plug-ins are rescanned.

I don't know what to tell you. Maybe a reinstall of DP is in order, or that file is hiding somewhere else. On my system it's located in the path I showed you in my previous post.

Weird!
