Logic Pro 10.5 crashing plug-ins

Perhaps you had the plugin GUI open when you saved the session? You could open your plugin manager (before opening that particular session) and deactivate it there. Haven’t tested this myself, but it could be worth a try.

If you rely on your system to make money it’s simple, just revert using your backup to the version that last worked well. Then write a note to Apple not us here.

Same here!

Interesting that it's just a few plugins in particular, and only if I attempt to open the plugin window. Not that I've tested each of my plug-ins to make a comprehensive list of which ones cause a crash, but the one that stands out to me is the J37 tape emulator from Waves. If I don't open the plugin window, it seems to work just fine as far as processing audio goes, but as soon as I try to open the plug-in window (or add a new instance of it, which prompts the plugin window to open), then boom - immediate crash.

When this issue first came up for me, the same thing happened with the Scheps Omni-Channel (also from Waves), though, interestingly enough, I just tried that one again and it didn't cause a crash. The J37 is exhibiting the same issue regardless of what session it's placed in.

I know this isn't much of an "answer" to solve the issue, but I thought I'd add my experience to the topic so that anyone else who stumbles across it knows it's not just their system!!

(That's always the tricky part in this vast landscape of software: did I do/set something up wrong or is it actually a bug? In broad scope, it's more troubleshooting to keep track of lately than I'd like to deal with...but there's more of a personal rant haha).

This is happening for me also. Waves Brauer motion, Smack Attack, Sibilance, VU Meter are all crashing the system. They seem to be working in Pro Tools. I was on a help call with someone from Waves yesterday, and that person did not know of the problem yet.

I've been having the same problem with a few waves plugins. Specifically, Vocal Synth 2 and Nectar 3 by Izotope have not been opening. The plug ins that cause problems crash my whole logic session. it's very annoying. I hope Apple fixes this soon as I've got deadlines...

Using another DAW to get by in the mean time.

:(

I am not a professional but I rely on my system to be reliable, especially from a firm that is so highly regarded and puts a premium price to its products. Such a company should take care of not making changes that render useful things useless. I wonder if dozens of plugin developers including Native Instruments, IK Multimedia, Denise, McDSP, etc. had such wrecked plugins. They used to work seamlessly... By the way, yes I have complained to Apple already through Twitter. Just frustrated there is no workaround other than go back to the past.

I know it’s frustrating, I’m testing 10.5 at mo. It’s not uncommon for major releases to be still fragile and have interoperability issues. It’s happened before It will happen again. But next time give yourself a way back and don’t be reliant on Apple (or plugin developers) to fix quickly. They fix at their speed not ours! In fairness all these fixes will come through I see 10.5 as a major commitment to logic which has got to be good for us using it for a living.

This does indeed work - went from Kush plugs crashing session to being able to open and mix (just without the GUI & meters).

Works until they manufactures catch up. Every time I upgrade anything Apple, I regret it.

Having the same issue with Waves ButchVigVox plugin V.11 if you find anything out let me know. Project won't even open at all Logic just closes automatically when trying to open a project with this plugin on one of the tracks.

Thanks!

Just to confirm--I'm having the exact same issue with CLA MixDown.

Oh dear......

Can you go back to your saved 10.4.8?

Hey guys! I'm still running Logic 10.4.8 and my CLA Vocals plugin crashes logic if I add it to any channel. Is it possible this issue was happening before 10.5?

Same problem here. Updated to Logic 10.5. Now Waves Voicecentric crashes the entire session if I try and adjust any parameters.

Running Mac mini 2018, 8Gb ram, 3 GHz intel core i5. Mojave 10.14.6

Same issue with MRhytmizer, matter a fact there are a few others that are just showing as blank plugins..
