Using Protools TDM plugins in Logic

Hello, I just got several songs/sessions from a client.
He was mixing in logic I usually use protools.
I am just tweaking what he did and want to leave it in Logic.
How do I get my protools plugins to work / show up?
The couple of things I try in setup assistant crash Logic.
Please advise.
Thanks
Chris

hi all
i just found this in a neighbour forum, and it helps a lot to understand where Logic is at:


it's not well documented on the Apple site but Apple are not supporting DAE in
their most recent versions of Logic on the Mac Pro.

You can find this on Digi's website:

==quote==

The following items are currently not compatible with Pro Tools HD 7.2.1 for
Intel-based Mac Pro:

* Apple Logic Pro 7.2 in DAE Mode
o Although Logic Pro 7.2 is a universal version that runs natively on both
Intel- and PowerPC-based Mac systems, Logic Pro 7.2 is not yet compatible in
DAE mode with Pro Tools HD 7.2.1 for Intel-based Mac Pro systems.
o In order to use Logic Pro with Digidesign hardware on Intel-based Macs, the
Digidesign CoreAudio Driver must be used instead of DAE mode in Logic.
o Logic Pro will require a future update from Apple to support Pro Tools HD DAE
for Intel-based Macs.

==end of quote==

A lot of people are waiting for an upgrade from Apple. I read the following
somewhere (but have not tried it):

==quote==

The workaround is to uninstall Logic 7.2.3 and then install Logic
7.2.0 or 7.2.1 but not to update past version 7.2.1. Those earlier
versions may work with TDM. (Make sure to instal Pro Tools 7.2.1
first.) Those earlier versions of Logic only use 2 of the 4 CPU
cores in the Mac Pro. When Apple "fixed" Logic to use all 4 of the
dual intel duo cores, the TDM functionality was broken.

==end of quote==

Sorry I don't remember where I found it, it was somewhere on a forum of
course.

Hope this is of help to you.

Are you running a version of Logic higher than 7.2.1 ?
