Logic Pro Help

Updated first post with Nektar's latest fix.

I did download the latest Nektar fix. There are issues with it. The zip files don't unpack properly on my mac. When you do get the upgrade installed on the Mac (via workaround ) then there are issues with it downloading the firmware to the device, my case a Panorama P1. I'm currently waiting for support at Nektar to help me with this next step. After that I have to get it to work with Logic. Could be a long day.

haven't read thru the full thread, but I didn't see anything in the first post about it. Sorry if I'm repeating info ...

On Novations website they have a page were all their hardware is listed.

Mysteriously the ultranova won't work,, butt the mininova will. Odd, because I thought that they were pretty similar. I shot an email off to them for a clarification. the ultranova works as a controller/interface/hardware synth all in one .... but I don't use the interface.

This is what they emailed back to me:

We've found that upon playing back any audio recorded via the UltraNovas built in sound card over USB, there will be audible distortion and glitchy audio.

We are currently investigating what we can do to resolve this and are working with Apple to come to a solution.

If you have an important project coming up and currently have a working setup, we wouldn't recommend updating to El Capitan if you need to use your UltraNova.

On the link I posted above it does say that "Automap" does work with El Capitan. I suppose that probably means that all the controller functions should work fine. I would guess that the ultranova AU also works, but I'm going to write and double check.

M-Audio's Firewire interfaces (jointly developed with Avid, or entirely BY Avid and marketed under M-Audio) are not supported beyond Mavericks, but the drivers worked on 10.10. With El Capitan, it's blocked by SIP.

i've been searching for solutions, since my audio boot drive is still on Snow Leopard and i'm being pushed to upgrade by so many different things. The results so far: You can disable SIP in El Capitan to get the M-Audio Firewire drivers to work (and someone even created a fixed PKG to do the installation, since the existing installers do NOT work), but that leaves you without SIP on El Capitan (surely a reason for having the OS). Also, the control panel software does NOT work beyond Mavericks and there's no solution. M-Audio and Avid have utterly abandoned these products.

whew! just moved to a new macbook pro. had a few issues...solved by replacing the audiounitcache with the one from my previous mac. lots of licenses to fill in! (i didn't migrate, installed everything clean). a huge undertaking, but am happy to report that EVERYTHING is working. have been testing out lots of projects, and all sounds load, etc. no weirdness with logic trying to find sounds (which i experienced several years back when i moved to my previous mac). nice!

How does one locate and replace the 'Audio Unit Cache' It is beginning to look like it may be time to consider the move to ElC, but saving that cache would seem to be a prudent move.

my understanding is....time machine does not back up the cache folder? not sure (i live & die by carbon copy cloner). it's in your User library, in the Caches folder: audiounitcache (i just copied that whole folder "Audiounitcache").

i quit logic X, copied that file from my old mac (earlier this year, when i moved to el capitan, i did the same thing from my backup).
and got a few plugins working that weren't validating otherwise.

if you find that file, perhaps save a copy somewhere. seems useful...

My thoughts exactly, thanks.

The only thing i'm waiting on is Addictive Drums - from XLN:

Hi Malcolm,

While our testing indicates that our products work fine in El Capitan, many others don't yet, so we recommend our users to not upgrade just yet. We don't officially support it yet either, so if you do upgrade we might not be able to help you if something goes wrong.

So . . it's working, but they're not officially supporting it?

Was this an Apple or Izotope update?

I just received an e-mail from Izotope stating that the updates to resolve their issues with El Capitan is on there website.

So after reading a bunch of these posts, is it safe to say I CAN update to El Capitan and will have no issues with my Duet (FW)? All the posts I read, said it worked fine after the update. Yet, I'm am still skeptical since I use this for business and I can't afford for my Studio to be down.
Thx.

there are so many variables, i don't think anyone can guarantee you anything. if you want to upgrade, wait until you have some downtime (ie holidays perhaps), just to play it safe...in case you have to troubleshoot anything.

the good news is...developers are updating plugins etc for 10.11. and there are resources (like this forum) to find fixes if need be.

just my thoughts (of course).

...carboncopy (NOT timemachine for reasons stated above) and go for it...my solution...but make sure to set aside several hours for the transfers...maybe even several days, as suggested.../s~

Yeah, it's always disconcerting when this type of thing arises. You want to upgrade the OS, (even though this is primarily maintenance fixes)...but eventually, I'm going to have to. Just don't know what AI to go with since I use this for Voice overs only. Have to do some research.

ThankU to Eric and everyone here for this posting which - sorry to say it - leaves me feeling less alone in the El Cap mountains.

Truly gutted to know my beloved Ensemble is history. Having said that I have so far had no issues I would associate with interface probs, anyone else?

ThankU to Eric ...

You're welcome!

Line 6 sent out an email on 12/4/15 announcing that an update (Audio/MIDI Driver version 7.5.7) was released for El Capitan.. Looks like it addresses most of their hardware devices. They recommend completely uninstalling previous versions prior to installing this version..

Announcement here::
