Logic Pro uses a validation tool to ensure that only
plug-ins that fully comply with the Audio Units plug-in
specification are used in Logic Pro.
This minimizes problems that may be caused by plug-ins not
built into Logic Pro.
The validation process takes place automatically when Logic
Pro is first opened, when an updated version of Logic Pro is installed, and
when you install new plug-ins or update existing ones.
The left column of the Plug-in Manager
window lists all internal Logic Pro plug-ins sorted by category, and all
installed Audio Units plug-ins sorted by manufacturer. The results of the
validation scan are shown in the Compatibility column at the right of the
window.
You can organize and manage both
built-in and Audio Units plug-ins by simply dragging within
the Plug-in Manager window. You can also create new plug-in
categories, rename or remove existing categories, create
custom and short names for plug-ins, and search for
individual plug-ins by name.
When Enable Complete Features is selected in Logic Pro >
Preferences > Advanced, the Plug-in Manager is available in
Logic Pro Preferences.
Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Plug-in Manager.
Manually Enabling Plug-ins that
fail the validation test
1.- In Logic
Pro, select Show All in the upper-left part of the Plug-in
Manager window.
2.- Select the checkbox by the plug-in name in the Use
column.
You should be aware that plug-ins that fail the validation
test can cause problems. If you encounter problems with
manually enabled failed plug-ins, click the Disable Failed
Audio Units button underneath the left column.
Disabling Plug-ins
1.- In Logic
Pro, select Show All in the upper-left part of the Plug-in
Manager window.
2.- Deselect the checkbox by the plug-in name in the Use
column.
Rescan a
selection of plug-ins
You can rescan
a selection of plug-ins after installing or updating
plug-ins, or moving components in the Finder to remove or
install plug-ins manually, while the Plug-in Manager window
is open.
-> In the Logic Pro Plug-in Manager, click the Reset &
Rescan Selection button.
The plug-ins are activated automatically, if they pass the
validation test.
