Logic Pro 11 plugin compatibility

[Dr.Socrates]

Dear fellow logicians!

In this thread, we can help each other figure out what plugins work or do not work with Logic Pro 11.

If I may, I would like to suggest we refrain from any other discussions in this thread to make it easier for people to find out about the compatibility of their favourite plugins. So, I suggest we just report whether or not a plugin works or not. 

I will try the new version out on a secondary computer, but I do not have all my plugins on that account, so I won't be able to test all the plugins I care about. 

Best regards, and thank you all who contribute (and apologies if it is improper of me to start a thread like this).

So I hope all plugins are working as they should?

 

Those who updated to 11, please let us know about your first plugin scan.

Yes, I did a full rescan, and it seems good thus far. Did one earlier today under 10.8.1., and the same plugins seems to have passed under 11. (I have around 300, so I am working through right now ...)

[Dr.Socrates]

Some Soft Synths ... Note that these are first impressions – I am not certain that all features are working as they should, but on a first look, it seems that the following is working:

Arturia:

Pigments

Everything from the V collection X (I have not had time to try exactly all of them yet)

 

Modartt:

Pianoteq 7 & 8

Organteq

 

 

NI: 

Massive

FM8

Some Audio FX plugins ... the following seems to be working OK:

Arturia

Everything from FX collection 4

Efx Refract

 

Melda

Everything I have tried

 

General remark:

In fact, everything I try seems to be working just fine. 🙂

My concern is Antaraes auto-tune 3 - Kontakt 6-7,Arturia and Korg.

[Dr.Socrates]

As noted above, everything from Arturia seems to be working (V Collection X, Fx Collection 4, Pigments, ...).

[fisherking]

all my plugins seem to be fine (including izotope, fabfilter, and tons of synths, etc). izotope!

All of them work fine (although I no longer have the Kontakt 6 AU on my machine - but standalone Kontakt 6 and 5 work fine - I keep these for random library incompatibility/conversions.

[GuitarMatt]

Everything looks good on my scan, here are my extras...

Kontakt 7.9.0

Amplitube 5.7.5

MODO BASS 2.0.2

BFD Drums 1.2.1

SSL Bus compressor 2

SSL Channel Strip 2

SSL Drumstrip

SSL Vocalstrip

UA Verve

MacBook Pro M1, Ventura 13.5.1, Logic Pro 11

 

I tested all of my Audio Unit MIDI FX, Instruments, and Audio FX and everything works in Logic Pro 11 with a quick test for each.

Thank you all who have been contributing with the results from your tests – thanks @fisherking, @oscwilde, @GuitarMatt, and @Logiclark!  

For anyone who finds this thread, it seems that in general, anything that was working in Logic Pro 10.8.1 works fine under Logic Pro 11. 

[kotrl]

My large project runs fine. But when launching I get numerous "An Audio-Unit Crashed" errors that weren't there before. 

Mostly using FabFilter, SoundToys, iZotope, Baby Audio, Valhalla, but there's a few others in there that might be causing it.

 

[rAC]

Only a short session but VSL strings and woodwinds seem to be fine.

Vienna ensemble pro AU3 in 7.1 doesn't work anymore 😪

 

... Still working properly with Logic 10.8.1

Anyone else who has the ability to test this?

Logic seems not seeing it. You call it in your patch but Logic doesn't find it in its "list of available plugins". Did you try to reinstall it?

Edit :On my side I've just tried and VEP AU3 and Vienna Ensemble load.

Vienna ensemble pro AU3 is validated and present in the plugin manager from Logic 11 !

It does still also work properly with Logic 10.8.1

Did you test it in 7.1 or just in stereo on your system ?

Yes. in 7.1 and stereo.

But, maybe it's a point, I'm on intel

[Dan Banan]

Hope its ok to link to another forum(UAD).

This regards Syncroarts and Logic 11.

https://uadforum.com/community/index.php?threads/logic-pro-11.71239/post-526603

[pieca]

After more testing, Vienna ensemble pro AU3 & Logic 11 (native) on Mac Studio M1 ultra & Sonoma 14.5 :

Vienna ensemble pro AU3 does only work in surround for : 5.1, 5.1.2 & 7.1 SDDS

But in 7.1, 7.1.2, 5.1.4 & 7.1.4 you will get only the stereo or multiple-outputs, no more surround output...

Projects from Logic 10.8.1 saved with Vienna ensemble pro AU3 7.1 surround output give the screenshot error from my last post....

Vienna Ensemble pro (simple, not AU3) is still limited to stereo & multiple-outputs only, no surround

Great research, @pieca! Thanks!

Thanks, also, @Dan Banan! Could you perhaps provide a short summary of the conclusions of that thread?

"We wanted to give you a heads-up about some compatibility issues with the new Logic Pro 11. We've discovered a problem when opening Logic Pro 11 in Rosetta, which is affecting our Apple Silicon Mac users who use ARA functionality.

Our team is keeping a close eye on this issue and we'll keep you posted with any updates. In the meantime, we recommend that Apple Silicon Mac users avoid running Logic Pro 11 in Rosetta to avoid any interruptions in your work".

 

 

[GuitarMatt]

Just got my Cherry Audio plug-ins tonight and they seem to be working just fine so far.

Mercury 6 - 1.0.5
PS-20 - 1.4.0
OctaveCat - 1.0.2
DreamSynth - 1.4.0
Stardust 201 Delay - 1.4.0

[Dr.Socrates]

Thanks again to everyone who has reported in this thread! It seems that the vast majority of what has been reported has been working, and furthermore, people can be assumed to be more likely to report plug-ins that are not working than those who are, and therefore I conclude that it is quite reasonable to assume that at least the vast majority of plugins that was working under 10.8 will, for most users, work fine in Logic Pro 11. 

Please feel free to keep posting in this thread if you find any further issues with plug-ins under Logic Pro 11. 

Cheers!

This is my experience so far... basically, in LP11 nothing much seems to have changed in plugin handling since the previous versions.

[FLH3]

It was the number of the app which frightened us: In our minds "11" should be very different than "10.9".

In reality, as Logic 11 is more 10.9 than a real 11, not a lot of problems, no more than between 10.7 and 10.8.

[GuitarMatt]

GGD (GetGood Drums) Modern & Massive drum library is working through Kontakt 7 player.

Additional GGD MIDI groove files load up and play correctly as well.

 

[Wez Tuppeny]

I've noticed above someones put Spectral Plugin's Spacer was working? Is this right as since I've had Logic 11 since day 1 it hasn't passed the Plugin Startup Manager thing for me even after rescanning etc?? Has anyone else got this working as not sure if to uninstall it as it's not like it will get updated with Spectral Plugins shutting down. Thanks in advance guys

[rAC]

@Wez Tuppeny have you tried a Rosetta scan?
