Right-click ANYWHERE (not on a knob) on the GUI and select Help->Manual and done.

Only kidding "Skin Settings" is OK by me

Thanks - this validates for me now, but still doesn't work here:
Logic (Rosetta) - The AU failed to load
Logic (Native) - just get the loading spinner permanently:-

.
Logic 10.7.3, Monterey 12.3, MBP M1Pro

(It works ok here in a rosetta host, like Hosting AU though.)

george · Post by **george** » Mon Mar 28, 2022 3:51 pm

I just downloaded the latest installer and tested in Monterrey / Logic without issues. OB-Xd is a Universal 2 Binary that should work fine in x86 and ARM (for M1 systems).

First, try getting the latest version from Members Area or https://www.discodsp.com/obxd/ and verify the PKG date is Monday, 28 March 2022 at 14:45

Also, restarting the AudioComponentRegistrar is recommended. This can be done by a system reboot, a user log out and log in or if you know how to use Terminal use the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo killall -9 AudioComponentRegistrar

I have two users who have verified the new build works as expected.

Please report back, thanks.

One minor nitpick: it seems like when you run the version with the installer it overwrites the skin.xml and MIDI\config.xml files. Would be nice if the install script (on Windows anyway) could check for those files and not overwrite if they already exist.

I just noticed after installing the official 2.8 update from the User Area and having to reset my skin, size, and controller.

Yeah, the factory stuff should be either in ProgramData (if installing for all users) or AppData/Roaming (if installing for current user), and actual user data (like your chosen CC mapping and skin) should be in Documents. Ideally.

Thanks - I can verify that is the version I installed. I tried again. I generally only install the AU but I also tried installing the VSTs in case the AU required them. Same results.

I had rebooted and tried that, but yes I have that terminal command under a handy alias and use it when required - but it gave me no change in behaviour either.

I also trashed the app support stuff (skins, banks folders etc) just in case something was up with those, and let the installer create new versions - same results.

I guess that's now dropped to 66% of user reports indicating it works..

I'll try in some other hosts to check the behaviour and post back...
Edit: Works fine in Live 11.1, both Rosetta and Native.

Right now the Inno Setup script is using for the assets:

Code: Select all

Source: OB-Xd\*.*; DestDir: {userdocs}\discoDSP\OB-Xd\; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs

Perhaps it makes more sense to use promptifolder or onlyifdoesntexist flags as seen as https://jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php ... lessection I'm open for suggestions.

Ok, trashed, rescanned all plugins, and I get the same behaviour.
Also tried it in Logic 10.6.3 (native and rosetta), with the same results as 10.7.3.

It works in most things I've tried *except* Logic....

Can you post the auval log when you reset and rescan the plug-in?

updating properties of AU OB-Xd by discoDSP…

Everything looks fine.

Ok:-
Removed AU component
Killed auregistrar
Trashed au cache
Killed auregistrar
Ran Logic (native) and let it scan and build aucache
Verified OB-Xd as gone from Logic
Quit Logic
Killed auregistrar
Installed ob-xd from 2.8.0 installer
Killed auregistrar
Ran Logic
Opened OB-Xd in Logic - same behaviour, just hangs natively, and "Failed to load" under Rosetta

I'm out of time/ideas to keep trying this for now - I'll let you know if I discover anything that influences this behaviour, and am happy to try any other suggestions...

(This is a brand new machine from clean BTW, so doesn't have years of old cruft, and I have no problems with any other plugins.)

In the meantime, I retrieved 2.6.0 from my backups, and this works fine for me in Logic.
