Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get hold of the AU Hotfixes for the Zero-G/EastWest/Native plugs that now fail validation?
NI’s website requires registration but I do not have serials.
The hotfixes I need are:

Koncept & Funktion / The Operating Table / Nu Jointz

Thanks!

[...] Sometimes the best way to fix something is to break it. That applies to development processes as well as software itself. After some audio developers and users raised frustrations over compatibility issues with Audio Units and Mac OS X 10.4.9, a member of the Apple Core Audio team responded on the Core Audio development list by explaining the tool in question (the AU validator, auval) and offering to seed copies to any developer not already being seeded. I’m not sure whether auval is the only issue or not; plug-ins I’m using all seem to be functioning normally after the update and I’m not a developer. But there are two major points here: one is that auval itself shouldn’t have any impact once a plug-in is running, and the other is that any changes to auval should be seeded to developers before a problem has caused.

The only problems I have had with Ableton is that the Mode Wash AU plugin wouldn’t work – the VST is fine however.
I had the same problem with Pro Tools (popping icon, black arrow then nothing). I installed 7.1 (m-powoered) which now has so far removed all my preferences – back to the original mac windows- and then messed with my screen contrast and resolution
Apple does it again

Alex, I think you should just give 10.4.9 a try. Updates can often present compatibility issues. If 10.4.9 does show on that MacBook (and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s actually 10.4.8), give it a shot and see what happens. Not all of these issues are widespread.

For instance, I have 10.4.9 running on two machines without interfering with Ableton Live. Skyy, what version of Live are you using?

I just ordered a new MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo solely for audio use (Logic Pro 7.2). I assume that it will ship with 10.4.9 preinstalled? If so, how can I revert to 10.4.8 on the MBP?

After I installed the updates to 10.4.9 my Ableton Live will not start. Has anyone else had this same issue?

Hello Everyone,
I’ve run into a problem myself although I don’t know if it’s the same reason, it certainly is a suspect I recently installed the 10.4.9 update and when launching Pro Tools “the icon jumps up once” as if it’s opening the “black arrow” appears and then it stops…I don’t know what it might be, but if anyone knows anything. Please let me know by writing back here. thank you.
Joshua
