I did a completely new install of DP11.13 on my Mac Studio M2 Ultra machine running OS13.61 (Ventura).

I've used Ohmboyz plugins for years and loved them. However despite installing the plugins back onto my machine and opening previous DP sessions, the Ohmboyz plugs (mostly Ohmicide) come up as disabled and refuse topes. The do seem to be recognized by DP but just won't open.

I've contacted Ohmboyz, and tried their troubleshooting steps. Ohmboyz is not mentioned in my System Settings / Privacy & Security. I.e. OS doesn't seem to be blocking it...

Any ideas what else I can do? Even though I may not continue with Ohmboyz I really need to work on older sessions that use Ohmicide a lot...

Thanks.

Have you changed your Security Settings to allow certain 3rd party files to load? Many including MOTU drivers and certain plug-ins require Reduced Security.

Unfortunately the ohm Force team has been severely compromised by internal strife. the head developer didn't go into detail but mentioned this and apologized for the lack of updates and age of their line up. There's a serious lack of development going on, I would say they disappear completely at some point. Best to freeze an older machine with the songs on it and move on. I personally own the All All bundle so this isn't fun to report.

Yes I did that early on my new Mac Studio. Other software requires it also. Still no luck here...

Love ohmicide. If you have another Mac laying around you could use that as an "FX box"
This is how I still use ohmicide and some other fx that didn't port well.

Just connect the two machines via ethernet and use either
1. VEPro
2. Audiogridder : https://audiogridder.com

My main machine is an M1 Mac Studio and I have two other machines, a 2017 Mac mini and a 2015 iMac. I use the older machines as FX boxes for plugins that dont work on newer machines (Ohmicide) or others that don't work or are no longer around.

All machines connected to a network switch. The Mac mini is running VEPro and the iMac is Audio Gridder. (I've used it on the mini as well)

I then use screen share for setup etc. Super easy and it works.

I will say I think the last OS Ohmiced will work on is Catalina
