MuLab seems to work flawlessly so far but I am unable to add to my VST list 2 drum VST instruments. Perfect Drums and Superior Drummer 2 are both not working.
I get this error message when trying to add them to a rack or when scanning them in the plugin manager ;

"GetOsxBundleRefForFilepath failed for plugin ‘Perfect Drums.vst’
Couldn’t create VST Instance for Perfect Drums"

"GetOsxBundleRefForFilepath failed for plugin ‘Superior Drummer.vst’
Couldn’t create VST Instance for Superior Drummer"

Superior Drummer 2 is working perfectly on the PC version of MuLab but not on a M2 Macbook Air.

Thank you for your help,

The issue most probably is that these are Intel based plugins and an Apple silicon app cannot host Intel based plugins.

A workaround is to run MuLab in Intel mode.

Wow! Spot on. All I had to do is to check the "Open using Rosetta" checkbox in the app info and I was then able to rescan the plugins without issues.

Everything is working fine now for both plugins :D

Thank you so much for the "intel" *wink
