Kirnu Cream Audiounit and Ableton live 9 problem

[SiegeUK]

Hi there,

After some experimenting with Cream 1.1 AU in live 9.1.7b2 32bit I couldn't get Cream to show up in the "Midi from" list where it says "post fx" and "pre fx".

I switched over to the VST version and that seemed to work. Is this a common problem? Is there something I am missing with the AU version?

Cheers.

Chris.

I don't think AU's have MIDI out. Infact, why is there even an AU version of Cream?

Here's what it says in the manual:

AU plugin
● AU plugin is intended to be used only with DAWs which don’t support VST plugins. For example
Apple Logic.
● AU plugin uses Virtual Output to send MIDI to the host so there might be some latency involved
when using AU plugin. It is also important to note that AU plugin is not in perfect sync with the host
application because of the latency.
● When AU plugin is inserted to some track in the host DAW a virtual MIDI input is generated for
each Cream instance. This MIDI input is named as “From Cream x” where x is the instance number
starting from 0.
● Please use VST plugin whenever it is possible.

If that helps.

Please use AU plugins only if there is no vst alternative or possibility!

This is valid for Cream, and almost all other plugins. (this sentence reflects my personal experience with OS X plugins)

Thanks for the info! I suspected it was an AU limitation...
