Logic Pro 64 Bit Plugins
ARCADE is its own plugin (Audio Unit, VST, VST3, AAX). You can access it directly from within your DAW's 'instruments' plugins. For detailed instructions, check out this guide: http://output.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/1000273645-subscribing-installing-and-loading
Since this release, Logic Pro X runs in 64-bit mode only and no longer works with 32-bit plug-ins. Logic Pro X is capable of transferring most data from previous projects saved in Logic Pro 5 and later, though the transfer to 64-bit only means older 32-bit plugins will no longer work. If your Mac is running macOS High Sierra or later and you recently installed a plug-in that isn't available in Logic Pro or MainStage, restart your Mac. Before you restart your Mac, confirm that the plug-in is 64-bit compatible. 32-bit plug-ins aren't compatible with Logic Pro or MainStage. Choose Apple menu Restart. Open Logic Pro or MainStage. Your favorite 32-bit plug-ins will appear in your 64-bit DAW as if they were native 64-bit plug-ins. 32 LIVES is compatible with virtually all 64-bit Audio Units and VST host applications, including Logic Pro X, Cubase, Ableton Live and Studio One.
If you still can't find ARCADE, please try re-scanning your plugins inside your DAW and see if you can locate ARCADE.
How To Re-Scan My Plugins:
Logic Pro:
- Open Logic Pro X > Preferences > Plug-In Manager.
- In the Plug-in Manager, locate the Arcade. To filter by manufacturer, click Output in the left column.
- If 'failed validation' appears in the Compatibility column for Arcade, highlight Arcade then click Reset & Rescan Selection.
Reason (Mac):
- Please go to the User Library folder which is hidden by default.
- Press the Option key while selecting Go from the menu in Finder, and then select Library.
- Next, head to this destination, 'Application Support/Propellerhead Software/Reason/Caches' and delete the following files:
- _PluginCache.dat
- _PluginDatabase.dat
- Next, delete the 'Reason Plugin Folders.prf' file in the 'Preferences' folder in the User Library folder.
- This will force Reason to completely rescan the default VST folders and show ARCADE when you next launch Reason.
FL Studio (Mac):
- Open Fl Studio.
- Click 'Add' and select 'Manage Plugins'.
- Next, click 'Start Scan' on the top left of the Plugin Manager window.
Garageband:
- First, open Finder, hold the Option key, click on the Go menu and select Library.
- Then navigate to User Library > Preferences and delete the file com.apple.audio.InfoHelper.plist.
- Next, navigate to User Library > Caches > AudioUnitCache and delete any of the following files:
- com.apple.audiounits.cache
- com.apple.audiounits.sandboxed.cache
- After this, please open Garageband and check if you can see ARCADE inside your Audio Units instruments menu.
Studio One (Mac):
Open Studio One > Preferences > Locations > VST Plug-Ins tab, and add the following location paths:
- /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Arcade
- /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/Arcade
- Check Scan at startup.
- Click on Reset Blacklist and when prompted click Yes.
- Click OK and restart Studio One.
Ableton Live 9: (Mac and PC)
ARCADE doesn't support 32-bit systems on MacOS + PC, and it's likely the reason that you can't see ARCADE in Live 9.
Please try scanning your plugins and also make sure you're running a 64-bit version of Ableton Live, which may require an update. To determine if you're running a 64-bit application you can use the following steps:
- Type the following keyboard shortcut Command ⌘ + Space bar to launch Spotlight.
- Type System Information and hit Enter when it shows up.
- Scroll down to the Software section in System Information.
- Click Applications and wait for your applications to load.
- The column to the far right in the Applications table will give you a simple, 'Yes' or 'No' answer as to whether or not your app is 64-bit.
If your copy of Live 9 is not 64-bit then that is the reason you can't see it in your DAW.
If you're using third-party plug-ins, try any of these recommendations to fix your issue depending on what you're experiencing:
- If you can open Logic Pro or MainStage, but you're having issues with your project or concert, try bypassing plug-ins.
- If you can't open Logic Pro or MainStage, try removing plug-ins.
- If a recently-installed plug-in isn't available in Logic Pro or MainStage, try the following in the order listed until you can find the plug-in:
Bypass Audio Units plug-ins
If you're having an issue in a particular Logic Pro project or MainStage concert that uses third-party plug-ins, bypass each third-party plug-in in the project one-by-one, testing the project after you bypass each plug-in.
You can bypass plug-ins several different ways:
- Place the pointer over the plug-in slot in a channel strip, then click the Bypass button so the slot dims.
- Option-click the plug-in slot so the slot dims.
- In the plug-in window, click the Bypass button so the slot dims.
If bypassing a plug-in fixes your issue, check with the manufacturer to see if the plug-in is compatible with your version of macOS, and for possible updates.
Remove Audio Units plug-ins
If you can’t open Logic Pro or MainStage, try manually removing plug-ins.
- Find the plug-in file on your Mac.
- If you suspect a particular plug-in, locate the file for the plug-in in the folder, then drag the file to the Desktop.
- Try to reopen the app.
If you still can't open Logic Pro or MainStage:
- Create a new folder on the Desktop.
- Move all the plug-in files that appear in their installation locations to the new folder.
- Try to open Logic Pro or MainStage.
- If you can open the app, replace each plug-in file to its original location one-by-one. Quit and reopen the app after you replace each plug-in file. If you can't open the app after replacing a particular plug-in file, that plug-in might be corrupted or incompatible. Try reinstalling the disabled plug-in or check with the manufacturer for an update.
Restart your Mac
If your Mac is running macOS High Sierra or later and you recently installed a plug-in that isn't available in Logic Pro or MainStage, restart your Mac. Before you restart your Mac, confirm that the plug-in is 64-bit compatible. 32-bit plug-ins aren't compatible with Logic Pro or MainStage.
- Choose Apple menu > Restart.
- Open Logic Pro or MainStage.
- Click an Audio Effect, Instrument, or MIDI Effect slot to see if the plug-in is available in the pop-up menu. If the plug-in still isn't available, rescan the plug-in.
Confirm that the plug-in is installed
If a recently-installed plug-in still isn't available after restarting your Mac, confirm that the plug-in is installed:
- Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Plug-in Manager, or MainStage > Preferences > Plug-in Manager.
- In the Plug-in Manager, locate the plug-in. To filter the list by manufacturer, click the manufacturer's name in the left column.
- If the plug-in doesn't appear in the Plug-In Manager, find the plug-in file.
If 'not authorized' appears in the Compatibility column for the plug-in, make sure the plug-in is properly authorized as documented by the manufacturer. - Reinstall the plug-in, then restart the computer.
- If the plug-in still isn't available, check with the manufacturer to see if the plug-in is compatible with your version of macOS, and for possible updates.
