An audio Unit plug-in reported a problem which might cause the system to become unstable

An error message "An audio Unit plug-in reported a problem which might cause the system to become unstable."

I tried:

Rosetta Mode
Reset All setting except key command assignment
By bass all third party plug in
Disconnect audio interface
Reinstall Logic Pro X
Run Plug in manager to Full audio unit reset + Reset rescan selection + Disable Failed Audio Units
Run First Aid in Disk Utitily
Restart computer

All of above couldn't solve the issue. My Logic Pro x is the latest version, MacBook air 13' M2. it had been working fine after I installed some plug in from Native instrument.( But they are all successfully validated) Could anyone help PLEASE? Many thanks indeed!

MacBook Air (M2, 2023)

Hey.

I know this is an older post and I hope you've resolved your issue by now.

I just wanted to mention that I ran into this issue for the first time today and I managed to resolve it pretty quickly, it might help someone else with the same issue.

When opening Logic Pro X normally, I got this exact message but it was when I tried opening in Rosetta 2, Logic just crashed and gave me the whole report, I'll post a screen shot below, it's unfortunately in my own language but you get the idea.

I do not understand much of it but I figured as the only plug in the report mentioned was "bx_console 9000 J", I'd try deleting it. In case you didn't get report pop up, you could go to Utilities > Console.app > Crash Reports and find the latest Logic Pro X crash report.

I deleted the plug in from my computer and I could finally open my project again without a message nor crash. However, when I reinstalled it and opened up my project, the same message came up again even though the plugin was successfully validated and was used in other projects.

I had to delete the plug in again, open the project and remove the plug in from every track, save, reinstall the plugin and redo all the processing, which really sucks as a lot was already done..

I use:

Logic Pro 11.0.1

Macbook M3 Pro

18GB

Cheers!

"Is it really necessary to use several dozens Audio Units in one song?"

It's really a matter of what you're doing. I'm often working from an orchestra template, so dozens of plugins isn't that unusual. I'll often have many instances of the same thing, so maybe not "dozens" of unique plugins, but dozens of instances for sure.

Apple are making it so you have to use their guitar bass and drum plugins.. I don't use loops and stuff like that so I cant say anything about them but I've paid a lot of money for third party plugins by companies that specialize in Plugins! They work perfect in Reaper.. screw LOGIC pro and their 3rd rate plugins! They spread themselves out to far maybe stick to one thing and be good at it!

Why logic does not disable these faulty plugins automatically??

Did you find a solution for this issue? On new MacBook M2 I get the same message, along with the occasional glitch noise. This is on an 'old' Logic Pro X project.

I might have used Migration Tool. What problems should I expect after doing so?

So we are in March 2024, this is issue is back. I have a Mac mini m2. It is starting to make me very angry. How do I fix this problem or can we get this bug taken care of.

UPDATE: I just had it come up again after leaving and returning to Logic, but no plugin UI windows were open. Still, it does seem connected to app focus...

May 6, 2024 12:14 PM in response to yianni48

really? i guess it shows the failed plugins in the plugin manager?

only when the error window pops it does not. I agree that such vague notifications are the **** in music making with computer...

AGREE AGREE, What is the point of an error, if you don't know what is causing the error. "Why doesn't Logic at least tell you WHICH PLUGIN is reporting the issue"
