paulbinns Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I recently cleaned out a whole lot of plugins in an effort to streamline my Logic workspace and despite repeated rescannings using AU manager many of these deleted plugins are still appearing in the list. Of course given that the components are no longer in the Components folder they are failing validation. Is there anyway of removing these completely?

David Nahmani Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Try to quit Logic, then delete {Your home folder}/Library/Caches/com.apple.audiounits.cache then open Logic again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbinns Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have tried this a few times. When logic is going through the validation I can see that various automap plug are coming up and these are the ones showing in the list. I have deleted every reference to automap I can find on the harddrive but these entries are still lingering in the AU manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Sorry if this is already obvious, but there are two folders that could contain AU .component files: Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components and {Your home folder}/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbinns Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 David, thanks for your help. It turned out that there was an automap component that I had not removed from the system Components folder. Once that was deleted all the legacy entries were gone. Ghosts in the novation machine it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgman Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 That's one thing I hate about using automap with Logic. If you save a project with an automap plug and later remove automap, you have problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
