Plugin "OZONE" is not appearing in Logic anymore.

This might seem like a stoopide question, but did you install Ozone again, or only Logic?

Cheers

Hi


Re Problem #1.... check Preferences:Audio:Devices:Core Audio... is Universal Track Mode turned off?
If yes, turn it back on.

Hmmm, XML files and the Documents folder have very little to do with plugins... there should be an iZOzone4AUHook.component in the folder *Library/Audio/Plug Ins/Components* folder, and there should be an Izotope folder in *Library/Application Support* . Whatever is in Documents (probably the Presets) has no bearing on it being installed or not. Logic does not look for plugins in that folder.

Spud, are you getting any other plug-ins (non-Logic) showing up at all? If not, your friend has probably hosed the plug-ins/components folder. Izotope are pretty reasonable people. I am sure if you contacted their support and explained the situation, and gave them your original purchase details from when you bought and downloaded Ozone from them, they would help sort you out.

I checked my external HD and my Macs HD for the IZOzone4AUHook.componet, and it doesnt exist.

What method did you use to check? You probably did a Spotlight search. By default, Spotlight does not find System files, and this file, if it's in the proper place, would be treated by Spotlight as a System file.

If you want to use Spotlight to find files like that, you need to tell Spotlight to include System files in search results. How to do that is explained here.

You should do that before you conclude that the file is actually missing.

Another possibility is that your Spotlight index is damaged. See here: "Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes."

it says things like "1 or 2 stereo tracks or busses have been changed to a new form"...not verbatim, but something of the sort

It would help if you could post the exact verbatim text of the error message.

I did point to the correct folder. I assume he opened that folder. there is a small chance that the IZOzone4AUHook.component is in *Users/"you"/Library/Audio/Plug Ins/Components*

That is right. Just navigate directly to either Libraries' *Audio/Plug Ins/Components folder.*

Right, I understand. I kind of glossed over this part. But as you said, it could be that the AU is in the other plugins folder (and Spud might not understand which one to look at, or the importance of looking at both). Also, it could be that the AU somehow got put somewhere else entirely, in some other System folder. Therefore I think it's a good idea to do a thorough Spotlight search before concluding that the item is truly missing.

Ok, I checked my external HD and my Macs HD for the IZOzone4AUHook.componet, and it doesnt exist. The only thing that popped up was in my external HD was a folder called "Izotope" found in: Library>Audio>presets.
Im starting to think that when my friend wiped out the HD, he must of forgotten one or two things. The IZotope program was like $250-$300. I hope I didnt lose it. What I was mentioning about Ozone being located in the documents folder was, when I bought it thats where it stored the presets or whatever. Why did It go into Documents? I have no clue. Im not keen on all aspects of where things are stored and why they go where they go. Lets just focus on what I need to do to get Logic to recognize OZone, so I dont have to buy it again.
Answering to the other question: Universal Track Mode was already on.

Hi.

If you bougt the I,zotope plug in you should have the licence code somewhere. If you lost the code, you should contact The mgr. Immediately, they should have your info and get you your code.

Turn on *Universal Track Mode* in Logics' Audio Preferences.

CCT suggested that early in the thread, and Spud said it was on.

I agree that he's having a UTM problem, but it's in reverse. He's used to working with it off, and now it's on, and therefore his projects look strange.

when I open up existing projects from my ExternalHD...it opens fine but,it says things like "1 or 2 stereo tracks or busses have been changed to a new form"

Spud, you said that in your first comment. And recently you said this:

I opened up a session yesterday and it said "0 stero audio tracks and/or bus objects have been converted into a new format"

I bet you've been seeing something like this:



That's what you see when you build a project with UTM off, and then close the project, and then turn UTM on, and then open the project (and I think you'll also see it in the reverse situation).

If I want to send an instrument to a bus, I no longer have the option to send it to a stereo bus, it just gives me one option; that is, a Bus1, Bus2, ect.

I think you're running into confusion because when you turn UTM off and on, things change.

With UTM on (the default), buses are automatically stereo or mono, depending on the context. (One could also say that all buses are stereo; I think it amounts to the same thing, as a practical matter.) When you use a bus, you don't choose stereo or mono. You just choose a bus. And all buses are labeled as follows: "Bus 1." Even if it's a stereo bus used to connect two stereo objects, the bus is not called "Bus 1-2." It's just called "Bus 1."

With UTM off, things are different. When you choose a bus, you choose if you want mono or stereo. If you choose the former, the bus label looks like this: "Bus 1." If you choose the latter, the bus label looks like this: "Bus 1-2."

So what's happening is that you're used to working with UTM off, and at some point UTM got turned on. And now you see "Bus 1" and you think you're looking at a mono bus, because with UTM off "Bus 1" is a mono bus. But that's not what "Bus 1" means with UTM on.

So now with UTM on you need to realize that you can indeed create a stereo bus, and you need to realize that it's a stereo bus even though it's not called "Bus 1-2."

instruments that I tracked in as audio lets say a piano on a stereo audio track 1-2, now the audio track is mono and it ends up being panned to the left.

This also sounds like a consequence of the same phenomenon: building the project with UTM off, and now having it on.

I'm not sure what you should do at this point. I think it's possible that your best course is to turn UTM off for the projects which were built with that setting. But you should have it on for new projects.
