Q: Logic Pro X doesn't recognize 2 Antares plug-ins

I have two Antares 32-bit RTAS plug-ins that LPX 10.2 isn't recognizing. The authorizations for the plug-ins are on an iLok key, which is plugged into a USB port. How do I get LPX to scan and recognize these plug-ins?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

    Logic only uses 64 bit AU plugins. Logic cannot use 32 bit plugins, and Logic cannot use RTAS plugins. So they're doubly useless.

    Right on both counts. Fortunately, upgrades were very inexpensive, and work fine in LPX. Thanks.

    Thanks. I'm transitioning from a legacy Pro Tools LE 7.4.2 and, happily, the Antares plug-ins are the only mixing/mastering tools I've had to upgrade. I'm disgusted with Avid - I think they've abandoned their home recorder base and are now oriented primarily toward pro studios. Their pricing certainly suggests that. Apple, on the other hand, seems committed to offering pro quality to home users at a reasonable fee. Logic Pro is larded up with a lot of crap for non-musicians - Apple loops, etc. - and I only hope Apple continues to enhance the recording/mixing/mastering features, and doesn't turn the product into a toy.
