Then I got an email from Waves tech support saying that there was one hour left that they could help me and I should download their program so that they could remotely access my computer to see what was going on.which they did - after about 30 minutes, I think the tech determined that, because I had downloaded some demos last year (that I never got working) and those were installed with V8, they were incompatible with V9 (which as I'm typing this, still doesn't really make sense to me.if I downloaded V8 plug-ins with the V8 launcher those should have worked):įrom the Waves website: "V6, V7, V8 and V9 can run concurrently on the same computer. I tried what you suggested, (trashing the plug-ins and re-installing, unfortunately, it didn't work.) Sorry, it's taken me so long to get back.I had a ticking clock going (with the Waves sale - which I now see is still going on, grrrrh!). I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to try to help me and all the time it took to write that. Hope what I just wrote makes sense and gives you something to try out and troubleshoot.


It sound to me as if the installation wasn't a good one (like something messed up along the way). They are in Applications > Waves > Waves Plugins But on the other hand, if the only Waves Plugin that you have so far is Vocal Rider, that should be easy enough to reinstall even if things get crazy. hopefully you can do that and not affect your existing installation of VocalRider. Then, I would find the waves plugs that were "installed" on this go around - the demo ones, and delete them. A way around it is to just delete Logic 9.0.0 from the Applications menu, or if you are worried, zip it up, and then delete the actual app leaving the zip. If it says 9.0.0 then you know the same thing is happening to you. So check in the "about Logic Pro" menu item in the Logic menu when Logic is running. Its possible that could be the cause of the AU validation crash. I honstly haven't found any version since about 9.1.5 to be much different, they all seem to work.įirst, if you have a means of backing up your startup drive, I would do that now.Īlso be aware that when I updated to 9.1.8 - there is a bug in that one that on my machine, seems to startup projects with logic 9.0.0 (which is in the applications folder as a failsafe if you need a 32 bit only version of logic) - and so that could be causing a conflict with the Waves Plugs from version 9 which require a newer version of Logic.

so if you don't have Logic updated, consider doing that. Which version of Logic 9 are you running? That post that Orest linked to indicates that you need 9.1.6 or more recent.
