RhinoCM crashing logic 9?

[Exhile]

Its sure not passing my AU validation. Is this a common known problem?

[Big Tick]

AU validation works fine here - and I use it all the time in AU Lab. Is anyone else using it in Logic 9 ?

Code: Select all

$ auval -v aumu RHCM VSTA -qp

at first it didn't pass AU validation for me either, so I just opened AU manager, checked Rhino CMs box, and ran AU manager again. worked fine. nice sounding synth too.

[imrae]

I'm using Logic 8, and not only does is not pass validation, it crashes Logic if I check the box and run it again. I'm running OS 10.4.11, is there an OS requirement that hasn't been mentioned?

Renoise used to crash and after repeated installs has given up and refuses to recognise that it even exists...

[Big Tick]

Did you get the patched version (2.08 ) available for download on my site ?
'Tick

[djgroovy]

When did this come out?
Is it regularly on the magazine dvd now, or was it a one time deal?
What are the features/where can i read about it?

[imrae]

I'm not being permitted to copy the patched version into the folder, even as root, as apparently "contents" (i.e. the folder inside the au) is already in use, even before opening any audio applications. VST seems to have similar problem. I don't think there is anything unusual about my file system... HostX reports an initialisation problem if I point it at either version of the vst.

Was looking forwards to playing with this one

PS Thanks for the swift response! I have been following this, but I've been moving so haven't been able to try out your fix...

[Bruce Bartlett]

Having same problem as imrae here. Can't get the update to install at all. Logic 8 on 10.6.4.

[Big Tick]

hmmmm. No idea what can be locking the au. Can't you replace it by restarting in single-user mode ? or simply delete the one in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components and copy the new one over ?

[Bruce Bartlett]

I was able to do the latter. I didn't try this previously, because the instructions on your link state that the file from the DVD must be installed first.

At first attempt, this crashed again, but I deleted/reinstalled it again, and now it passes. Thanks for you help!

[Big Tick]

The reason why you have to install the DVD version first, is to install all the presets and waveforms and database, which are not included in the update. They are located in ~/Library/Application Support/BigTick/RhinoCM

'Tick

[imrae]

Ah. That's good to know.

Still no joy; I can replace the files by deleting, but it still comes up in Logic as RhinoCM 2.06 and crashes validation (and Logic!)

REAPER showed the plugin as version 2.08, crashed and had the grace to give me an interesting error report, including:

hmmm.... allright, I'll try it with Reaper. The fact that Logic still shows it as v2.06 tells that there are leftover from previous installations somewhere, you might want to clean it up anyway. The only things RhinoCM installs are:
- Au and Vst in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/
- support files in ~/Library/Application Support/BigTick/RhinoCM

Anything else, anywhere else was not put by the RhinoCM installer.

[imrae]

Still no luck. Have tried installing on a different computer, am now using the 2.08 installer from CM #155

validation result: crashed validation

I no longer have the Big Tick folder in my "Application Support" and have attempted to delete all traces of the plug-ins, but the installer still insists it is an "upgrade". AU validator still has RhinoCM 2.06 on record, although as seen above it corrects this when scanning.

The new installer fails to create the resources folder in Application support. I have repaired disk permissions. I'm at a loss
