LAMP 6.2x - 6.3.1 Mirror Dual 1ghz G4 1.5 GB Ram Core Audio Drivers: AW8 and/or Internal (doesn't matter) I have a very strange problem. When I first went to OSX after years of using Logic in OS9 everything was fine and I was able to use quite a few AU plugs, with no crashes or problems. At some point however (might have been after I tried to install Reaktor?) Logic started doing the "Try to save your song" during the bootup process, effectively causing Logic to become unusable. Didn't matter what file I tried to load either. I removed all AU plugs except 4: Trilogy, Stylus, Crystal, And Rumblance Zoid. After that Logic was fine again. I ran for some time using these plugs, and then I tried an experiment by adding another plugin to the Audio Units folder (I use the root level one, not the user one, though the problem is the same either way). What I found is that any attempt to add even a single plugin brings the crashing back... the strange thing is it doesn't matter which plug! ANY additional plug beyong the four I listed above brings Logic to its knees. It would be impossible that all other plugs are bad, because I used them successfully prior to this problem occuring. I've tried deleting the logic prefs files, but no change. 6.3.1 doesn't help either. It's very frustrating. Any ideas? -Dan

I had a very nice answer from one of the AU Apple dev. Explaining that they just brought out an AU tester to see if AU's confirm to standard. Many other person on that list and I had also problems with Final Cut Pro and the AU's The problem with new technologies is that there are bugs at the beginning ! To move a studio in production with OSX, is getting better ; but it is still risky On the French Logic audio list none of the studio in production have move to OSX yet ! For my case : as I have no outstanding production, so I am experimenting with OSX, but as soon I will have one I will do it under OS 9 Best regards Cyril Blanc France If you want to be sure I read your answer leave my name in it ! Spam mails are directly going to trash

It's very possible that one of the four is conflicting with most other plugins except for the other three that you're using. This was a common problem with INITs and extentions in OS9 which necessitated Conflict Catcher to be written, and I could certainly see similar problems arising with AUs. I think that you have successfully narrowed the problem down to four AUs.... -Zoltan
