No Sound from 3rd Party plugins?

Post by singermustdie » Tue Oct 01, 2019 10:50 pm

I can't get any sounds from the 3rd party plugin racks. All other Rev-native functions work, but no plugins.

Is there a specific chain that I have to follow?

I'm on a mac using au

Get a pc Apple fanbois. Apple has been throwing pro audio/multimedia users further under the bus with every new
OS release. They are more concerned with your Mac playing nice with your iPhone. Catalina has broken EVERYTHING.
I got scores of e-mails from plugin developers saying NOT to upgrade. Sorry your precious Mac no longer "just works".

Just FYI......

As far back at June 17th 2019, just 2 weeks after Apple announced macOS Catalina, Presonus published this warning on their website…

“Apple’s latest upcoming Operating System Mac OSX 10.15 (Catalina) has started its Public Beta Phase. As Apple's Public Beta progresses, changes will be made to their Beta builds along the way.

Should you be part of Apple's open public Beta, the versions shared to the public (prior to the actual commercial release) do not fully reflect the final version that is actually approved for commercial usage.

Until such time as PreSonus has fully reviewed its products after Apple has officially released the commercial version of OSX 10.15, compatibility and usage of OSX 10.15 Beta Version is at your own risk and PreSonus Support will defer you to Apple's Beta Program for further information.”

Native Instruments
On September 10th 2019 Native Instruments posted …

“Native Instruments software and hardware products are not supported under macOS 10.15. Please do not install macOS 10.15 if you are using Native Instruments products.

We are currently conducting systematic tests to offer full compatibility as soon as possible after the official release. Please check this page or your Native Instruments product's specifications page regularly to obtain information on the current operating system requirements.”

Audient
One day later on September 11th, 2019 Audient posted this on their Facebook page…

“IMPORTANT NEWS FOR MAC USERS. Right now, macOS Catalina (10.15) is not supported by Audient. Therefore we recommend that our users do not upgrade to macOS Catalina until further notice. We're currently working on it, and will let you know of any changes”.

Blue Cat Audio
On September 16th 2019, posted this simple message on their Facebook page…

“This time of the year again... Checking compatibility with Apple's upcoming version of Mac OS!”

Although not an explicit ‘do not upgrade’ statement, it is clear that they are just starting the checking and testing process with macOS Catalina. Then on September 30th 2019, Blue Cat Audio posted this on their Dark Side Of The Cat blog…

“Every year, new Mac OS releases come with compatibility issues, and Catalina will probably be much worse, given the drastic changes:

No more 32-bit applications: if you are still using 32-bit apps and plug-ins, with Catalina you can forget about it. It will just not load 32-bit only plug-ins or applications.

Hardened security: Mac OS 10.15 comes with new security rules that will impact pro audio applications quite a bit, and plug-ins even more. Expect random crashes or error messages that will specific to every single host application.

So it is definitely worth waiting before you upgrade. And if you do upgrade, you should keep an older version of your system if you want to be able to work in the coming weeks: external hard drives are your friends!”

But Wait There Are More…
Ableton
They have updated their MacOS Compatibility with Live knowledgebase article with…

“Live 10 is not officially compatible with Catalina. However we are currently testing a Catalina-compliant version of Live 10 on Centercode (our beta software platform).

“The next version of macOS (10.15 Catalina) is due to release this month.

Its a mixed bag with SSL regarding macOS Catalina support. This is what they have currently posted in their Help Centre…

"The V6 release of SSL Native plug-ins is compatible with Mac OS Catalina.

Nucleus2 Dante Soundcard - Compatibility is dependent on Dante Controller and Dante Virtual Soundcard software by Audinate.

Nucleus2, Matrix2, AWS, Duality - NOT COMPATIBLE – SSL Remote programs for these products are currently 32 bit and will not work with Catalina. Please refrain from updating your system until further notice.

Remote/ipMIDI/Delta control functionality - You must be running ipMIDI V1.7 for compatibility with Mac OS Catalina. This is available from the downloads section in the My Products page in your SSL account, your console will still connect with the same settings as before.

The latest versions of Delta Control plugins are compatible with Mac OS Catalina.

V2.1/33 of the Sigma Remote application is compatible with Mac OS Catalina.

Sigma – NOT COMPATIBLE - While it would seem that the Sigma Remote application does work in Catalina the Sigma itself is not recognised as a network device and currently will not communicate with Catalina. You can use the Sigma if you are connected to a network switch.

Compatibility for Delta Link depends on Pro Tools hardware and software and not the operating system. Please note that for Pro Tools HD 12.6 or higher, you will require a DigiLink I/O iLok license and the latest V2.00 Delta Link firmware."

Sound Radix
On October 8th 2019, Sound Radix posted this updated statement on their Facebook page…

“IMPORTANT: 32 LIVES Users :

As you may already know, Apple has dropped support for 32-bit applications and plug-ins in Catalina; therefore, 32 Lives is not compatible with macOS Catalina. However, we will continue to sell it for those using earlier macOS versions. If you wish to continue using 32 Lives please continue to use macOS Mojave or earlier OS versions.

Sound Radix And macOS Catalina :

We are working with Apple to complete test our plug-ins for use with macOS Catalina. Once testing is complete and we know there will be no disruption to your creative workflow, we will notify all our radical users. Until then, please continue to use macOS Mojave or earlier.”

Soundtoys
Soundtoys have emailed their users saying…

Apple is expected to release macOS 10.15 Catalina in October.

Sounds In Sync
All the apps from Sounds In Sync like EdiLoad, EdiPrompt etc. are 32-bit apps and currently will not work in macOS Catalina. Sounds In Sync is working on 64-bit versions of all their apps and have released their first 64-bit app EdiCue V3.

Steinberg
In response to a question in their User Forum about Dorico, Daniel from Steinberg posted this...

"I would not recommend using Dorico with beta versions of macOS (or indeed with "Insider" versions of Windows). With particular regard to macOS 10.15 Catalina, there are further new security features in the operating system this year that could conceivably cause problems with the inter-process communication that Dorico relies upon for licensing and the audio engine. Until the various teams within Steinberg have been able to test our products properly against the new operating system, I would suggest staying clear of the new operating system if the correct operation of your software is important to you. We will provide detailed compatibility information for macOS 10.15 Catalina when it is released, but not before."

Universal Audio
Universal Audio have emailed this statement and posted an article on their website…

“As you may know, Apple released macOS 10.15 Catalina today.

Please note — UAD and UA Audio Interface software cannot be installed on macOS Catalina.

We recommend that you wait until UAD software compatibility with Catalina is announced before updating to this new operating system.

Important: To prevent macOS from updating automatically, uncheck the “Install macOS updates” option in System Preferences > Software Update > Advanced options.

UAD compatibility with Catalina is being tested now and complete Catalina qualification will be released in a future UAD software update. For more information and the latest Catalina news, please read the article posted in our Knowledge Base.”

Waves
Waves have sent the following in an email to all their users…

“During October, Apple will release a new operating system, macOS 10.15 Catalina.

We are working closely with Apple to ensure that our software is compatible and that your Waves plugins and applications will work properly.

However, until we confirm full compatibility, we strongly recommend you remain on your current version of macOS.

In the meantime, please note:

Waves plugins v10 will open in macOS 10.15 Catalina but are not officially supported.
