Apple AU Validation Tool???? Where?

I'm trying to rescan my AU's since adding Ozone 3.14 and I can't find anything that will pull up an Apple AU Validation Tool, or even something that says "start audio unit manager scan".

When I first installed logic pro 8 it scanned my 3rd party plugs, but since then I've added and they don't show up in the Audio Units Manager "list".

How do you force Logic Pro 8 to re-scan your AU's. (not just open the previously scanned list)

HELP!!!

Thanks,
John

If your plugin is not a Universal Binary, then it won't be seen in Logic, because it is running natively on your Intel Mac.

If you know your plugin is a UB, but it's not showing, try trashing your audiounit cache file to Logic builds a new audiounit list

user/library/caches/com.apple.audiounits.cache

and

user*/library/caches/Logic/

When I open the AU Manager, nowhere on the screen does it say scan. (other than scan selection, which ozone is not there).

Yes at the bottom it says "scan selection" if Ozone doesn't show up something is wrong with the plug. Sometimes rebooting Logic does the trick but I guess you've tried that already.

Well that definitely makes the AU Manager re-scan the system, but oddly enough it still does not find Ozone. Hmmm.

Anybody, Bueler.......Bueler.........

Thanks!
