Logic Re-scanning Audio Units Almost Every Time!

[TripleYoThreat]

Hi Triple,

Can you specify the location you mean? If you mean the cache, then the correct com.apple/audiounits etc is in the right location and the permissions are read/write, read only, read only. And I deleted that old waves file. Don't know what else I can do...

Tnx!

Yes the location you deleted the old waves file from. Should be ~Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components

Where ~ is root of Macintosh HD not the user home folder.

These 2:

Shakepad x64.component

Shakepad.component

Okay and what about /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST3

[Nellis]

The same two but then .vst

[Nellis]

Any ideas?

Tnx!!

Hey I commented yesterday! Idk where it disappeared to! But based on those files you don't even have wavves o.O

 

What does it say when starting up and scanning? Sslchannel n stuff?

 

Edit: I think I used an emoji so it didn't post hah

[Nellis]

Yes I have the mercury pack. It says it will rescan 420 plug-ins everytime I need to restart logic but after about 220 Logic opens. Does this have to do with waves?? Cause it starts with scanning the waves plugins...

Tnx!!

[Nellis]

Anybody?

Should there be a waveshell or some waves file in the ~Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components folder??

Tnx!!

Quick update! I called Waves helpline and they helped me out in 10min and everything is back to normal!!! :)

Just to follow up - the "AU Rescan" problem has been solved, and the culprit was my recent Waves 'Mercury Bundle' installation. Seems there was an extra out of date 'waveshell' in my AU folder. I had updated to 10.0 and there was still a 9.7 and a 9.6 in the AU folder. Waves tech support directed me to leave the 9.7 alone (since it's needed for compatibility) and delete the 9.6 file -- that did the trick. No more rescans! PHEW!

 

Now if I can just figure out how to get my new Behringer X-Touch to behave.... aargh.

 

 

 

hello

 

i have been seating with this mess for about four months since installing Waves 10. and it annoys all the time i load LPX. do you remember the steps to sorting this out?

thanks

Thanks for recording all this info, folks. I just want to add that I had a consistent re-scanning problem, and your collective work helped me get to the solution. There were a bunch of extra WaveShells in the Components directory. There was a 9.7 one, which I left (thank you, MasterMyMix), and several extra for releases 10 and 11. I have upgraded, so removed the rest except for the most recent (highest-numbered) WaveShell for 11.

 

And I'm not sure of this yet, but my Logic sessions used to freeze, or lose the playhead, if I left them alone too long. It seems this is not happening now.

Thanks so much. Change the permission of (AudioUnitCache(folder) and Cache(folder) and .cache(file)) to ((me)Read & Write, (staff)Read Only, (everyone)Read Only), solved my problem.

Thank you everyone for your advice. This was driving me nuts!!! I was able to solve it by deleting all of my older WaveShells in my Components folder that were older than 11.0. Now it doesn't scan the plug-ins anymore.

Great! Good to hear.

I have also been encountering this problem since a while now i am running Logic 10.5.0 and my OS is MacOs Mojave. I have 32Lives running also because i do use Sylenth1 and therefore i need a 32 bit converter.

[skijumptoes]

Sylenth1 has been 64-bit for a long long time, Just 'check for updates' in the plugins menu itself and you'll get it.

Thank you, this fixed it for me as well!
