Aria Player not recognized

Thanks for your posting. The Aria player is installed in /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST and also in
~/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST. It is listed in Logics Audio Units Manager. It is validated and selected.

When I create a new software instrument, The Aria player is not listed in the Audio Units pull down menu. I used the install process from Garritan. The install was "successful" I have used the Aria
player in Logic Express previously. As I stated earlier, This is the first time I have tried to use the
player subsequent to updating Logic Express to version 9.1.3 and downloading an update to the
Garritan products mentioned. So, is it a Garritan or Logic Express problem?

In my previous post I neglected to include the fact that the Aria Player install does include the following
packages:

Standalone
AU
VST
RTAS

I chose to include all of them in the install.

Sorry for the lack of info.

Hello,

The ARIA Player can be used standalone. It is installed in the Component directories you listed and
the suffix is .component
The Au Manager shows it as an instrument. Here is the output of the AU Manager for the Player:

updating properties of AU ARIA Player by Garritan...done.

Thank you for your replies on this posting.

Hi,

I have used the ARIA player in Logic Express 9. It was listed in the channel strip as you described.
Everything was fine. I spent some time away not using Logic for awhile. Then, I eventually updated
to Logic to the 9.1.3 version. Again, I did not use it at that time. Then, a couple of days ago I decided
to download and update to The Garritan JABB3 and the ARIAI player. I then tried to use Logic Express
and discovered this problem. So, Is it Logic or the Garritan stuff? I have contacted Garritan support.
They suggested re-installing their stuff. So I did to know avail. I am waiting to hear more from them.

Thanks to josf for the help with this.

Hello,

I have figured this problem out. I was clicking on the insert box instead of the I/O box in the channel
strip. I apologize for this obvious operator short. Very embarrassing to say the least. Can I plead
too much turkey?

Thanks to those who responded.
