Question

Logic 10.3.1 kills Amplitube 3 - what now

Updating to Logic 10.3.1 has killed all pre-existing projects with Amplitube 3 plug-ins. I am on Sierra 10.12.3 and the standalone version opens fine.

When trying to load the plug in, Logic says:

"Failed to load Audio Unit AmpliTube 3, please contact the manufacturer for an updated version or further assistance."

I contacted IK Multimedia and their response was:

Hello, Thanks for your email.

This is the newest Logic X update causing this.

Amplitube 3 is discontinued and no further updates will happen for this plug in. You will need to update to Amplitube 4.

Will Apple fix this in 10.3.2 please?! Amplitube 4 will not load sessions that have version 3 -- I can't get the existing settings to load in 4! Everything was fine in 10.2

ask apple by going here

apple.com/feedback

however the responsibility to fix software or support software is entirely up to the developer of that software.

Apple does not fix 3rd party developers software for them.

Hi Todd

Unfortunately this is the problem with updating.

You really need to check with whatever 3rd party stuff you have first before updating.

Did you keep a copy of the earlier Logic? if so, just roll back to that.

Good luck

I had the same issue: updated Logic, and now one of my tracks with so much Amplitube automation doesn't work.

So, I picked up Amplitube 4, installed it, and was really hoping that once I opened my session & loaded my saved channel preset, Amplitube 4 would automatically replace 3. This did not occur.

Does anyone know how I could do this: bring up the saved Amplitube 3 settings, but now using Amp. 4 (again, I saved my entire channel strip as opposed to just the Amp. 3 settings).
