When an AU does not pass the validation, I am assuming that it is not fully compliant with the AU spec as some others have suggested. Although it will work, is it a warning sign that the plugin may cause crashes or other strange behavior while using Logic? I know that it is not totally an indicator (and just a warning at that point) and that the plugin may work fine. Hopefully, the validation will cause developers to be fully compliant so as to avoid some of the crashes that some of us experience. I find that Logic Pro is 100% stable with Logic-only plugins. p.s. - I also appreciate your presence on the list again and am glad that you are able to comment on some of the things in Logic Pro 7. Also thank you for all of the hard work on a truly wonderful product that makes my work much easier day to day. Fernstudio
