Third-party Audio Unit compatibility in Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro on Mac computers with Apple silicon

  Apple M5 chip  

Learn about using third-party Audio Unit plug-ins and external devices with Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro on Mac computers with Apple silicon.

Audio Unit plug-in compatibility
Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro support most Audio Unit v2 and Audio Unit v3 plug-ins on Mac computers with Apple silicon, whether or not the plug-in was built for use with Apple silicon. Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro also support AUv3 Audio Unit plug-ins that support iOS, iPadOS, and Mac computers with Apple silicon.

If you're using an Audio Unit plug-in that wasn't built for Apple silicon, Logic Pro or Final Cut Pro recognizes the plug-in only when Rosetta has been installed.

  

To install Rosetta for Logic Pro, quit Logic Pro and follow these steps:

1.- From the Finder menu bar, choose Go > Go to Folder.
2.- Type “/System/Library/CoreServices/Rosetta2 Updater.app,” then click Go.
3.- Double-click Rosetta 2 Updater, then follow the prompts to install Rosetta.

  

To install Rosetta for Final Cut Pro, follow these steps:

1.- In Final Cut Pro, choose Help > Install Rosetta.
2.- Follow the prompts to install Rosetta.
