Logic - my plug-ins aren't showing up

Compatibility

PROCESS.AUDIO plug-ins are compatible with Logic Pro 9 (64-bit run only) and Logic Pro X only.

Logic Pro 9 and Logic Pro X

Step 1: Check Plugin Location

Make sure your plug-ins are installed in the correct location:

/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/

Step 2: Activate Your License

Make absolutely sure that your plug-in license is activated on your iLok dongle or that you have an iLok Cloud Session opened BEFORE starting Logic Pro. Otherwise the plug-in will not be validated and will not show up.

Step 3: Rescan Audio Units

1. In the Logic Pro X menu bar, go to Logic Pro X → Preferences → Audio Units Manager
2. Scroll down until you find your PROCESS.AUDIO plug-ins
3. Make sure your iLok Cloud Session has started or that you have an iLok Dongle plugged in with your plug-in licenses activated
4. Make sure the Use column is checked off in front of your plug-ins
5. Click Reset & Rescan Selection, then Done
6. Make sure the Use column is actually checked
7. Click Reset & Rescan Selection and Done once more

Step 4: If Plugins Still Don't Show Up

If your plug-ins are not showing up in the Audio Units Manager:

1. Close Logic
2. Remove the .component files from /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/
3. Open Logic again
4. Close Logic again
5. Reinstall your plug-ins
6. Open Logic and repeat Step 3 to re-scan your Audio Units plug-in folder

Logic Pro 9 Specific Instructions

PROCESS.AUDIO plug-ins are 64-bit only and Logic 9 runs in 32-bit mode by default. If Logic does not run in 64-bit mode, it won't be able to scan and use your PROCESS.AUDIO plug-in.

How to Start Logic Pro 9 in 64-bit Mode

1. Make sure Logic Pro isn't running
2. Go to your /Applications folder
3. Click on Logic Pro.app and choose Get Info from the File menu (or press ⌘ + i)
4. Enable or disable the "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox

Please read the following guidelines if your plug-ins still do not show up, as they apply to both Logic 9 and X.
