Soundtrack Pro 3: Troubleshooting Audio Unit plug-in issues
Products Affected
Final Cut Studio (2009), Logic Studio (2009), Soundtrack Pro 3.0
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.
Resolution
Most Audio Units install to this location:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
Some Audio Units install to:
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
Quit SoundTrack Pro if it is open. To disable any Audio Unit for troubleshooting purposes, in the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu bar. Enter one of the above locations in the "Go to folder" section and press the Go button. Simply move the file to another location, such as the desktop, before opening Soundtrack Pro 3. For troubleshooting, first move all the Audio Unit plug-ins from both locations then open SoundTrack Pro and test if the issue is resolved.
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.
