Soundtrack Pro 3: Troubleshooting Audio Unit plug-in issues
Symptoms
When troubleshooting Soundtrack Pro 3, removing Audio Unit plug-ins may help isolate the issue. Also, some plug-ins may not appear and thus are unavailable in Soundtrack Pro 3.
Products Affected
Soundtrack Pro 3.0, Final Cut Studio (2009), Logic Studio (2009)
Resolution
Most Audio Units install to this location:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
Some Audio Units install to:
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
To disable any Audio Unit for troubleshooting purposes, simply move the file from one of the above locations to another location, such as the desktop, before opening Soundtrack Pro 3.
If Soundtrack Pro 3 behaves correctly without your Audio Unit plug-ins, you need to find out which one is causing the erratic behavior. To do so, put them back into their original folders one after the other, or a few at a time, and quit and reopen Soundtrack Pro 3 to see if it still behaves correctly. As soon as the issue recurs, you’ve identified the plug-in at issue.
If an installed third party Audio Unit plug-in is not listed on the Effects tab or the Effects menu under the Process menu, it may not have been able to be verified. If this happens, the plug-in will be unavailable in Soundtrack Pro 3. Check with the plug-in manufacturer for an updated version.
