DP11 and UVI Workstation VST plug-in issue
Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2021 6:36 am
Hi, I'm new to this community but wanted to share a solution to a problem that was driving me crazy: how to get DP 11 to recognize the UVI Workstation VST plug-in.
Some background: I was running DP 10 on an older MacBook Pro and created several projects with virtual instruments from MOTU's free virtual instrument soundbank. I moved to a new MacBook Air M1 running DP 11, but it wouldn't load the Workstation plug-in for those old project files.
SOLUTION: UVI Workstation only runs on Big Sur under Rosetta. I was running DP 11 native to Big Sur. That's why it couldn't load Workstation.
In the Get Info window for DP 11, I checked the box "Open using Rosetta," launched DP 11, and viola! It loaded the VST version of UVI Workstation and all of my virtual instruments in my old project files were working again!
As obvious as this solution seems now in retrospect, it took me hours to figure out with both MOTU and UVI tech support helping me. I wanted to share it here to hopefully save others some time and frustration.
Cheers, and happy music making!
