To open the Audio Units Manager:

m

Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio Units Manager in the main menu bar (or use
the Start Audio Units Manager key command).

The results of the test are shown in the Compatibility column.

Important:

The first thing you should do is check the manufacturer’s website for

updated versions of Audio Units plug-ins that fail validation.

Manually Enabling Plug-ins

Audio Units plug-ins that failed the validation test, can be manually enabled by
activating the checkboxes in the Logic and Nodes columns—but be aware that these
plug-ins can cause problems.

If you encounter problems with manually activated failed plug-ins, click the Disable
Failed Audio Units button.

Warning:

Use of plug-ins that have failed the validation can negatively affect the test

results of subsequently scanned plug-ins. They can also prevent Logic Pro from
launching, cause it to quit unexpectedly, or even lead to data loss (destroyed project
files)!
