Determine Plugin Type on Current Track

I am trying to figure out if I used an AU or a VST3 version of a plugin on an audio track. I'm not finding a way to do that in Live... All my internet searches are too nebulous using the terms in the question

Anybody know a way to do this?

Re: O' Take Lanes, where art thou? [Solved]

In case anyone else ever has the issue... Disable Automation mode in the set. This was one of the rare tracks where I used automation. It was enabled on certain tracks, not the ones I was recording guitar/vox to, but apparently having the option on hides the Take Lanes context menu. In my case, I di...

O' Take Lanes, where art thou? [Solved]

I had my fist recording session today with a member of our collective after I installed a new computer, audio interface, control surfaces (plus channel strip inserts), a fresh install of Live 11 Suite, new headphone amp, new cans, and even new XLR cables. Everything went flawlessly... except Take La...

sorry but I had some kind of pending past participle dangling lonely sentence that I couldn't let stand. I was blathering about the 4 TB SSD... I made a deal with myself to only migrate quality libraries/software and for any [all] tracks that I bring over to get stripped down and fully remixed. The ...

Re: Ghosts of VSTs Past... Need an Exorcism on a .als File

Who knows why it’s a semi-official feature, not yet brought into the fold? It was a test feature way back in Live 4 and never has been touched again. If I remember right, the reason was that once you start using Effects Racks (which came out in Live 5 I think?), it becomes impossible to actually us...

8O holy cow! that software looks amazing. I'd love to see one of your shows... Regarding platform shifts, yeah... I just got the SSL UC1 and UF8 installed. Couple that with the new Mac Studio and I'm sufficiently mind blown. I'll post up some pics in your show us your studio thread soon - once I get...

Re: Need Help. Ableton hangs when freezing tracks or bouncing

Have you tried to export in AIFF or FLAC? Maybe what ever is causing the glitch has to do with something specifically with the .wav conversion process. Also, you mentioned WB. If this is for film scoring, maybe the overall length/size of the track is getting in the way. I feel like I remember there ...

Re: Ghosts of VSTs Past... Need an Exorcism on a .als File

Ok... This was all a weird segue... First off, thanks PB for the Device Slots option suggestion. I couldn't find it and then looked deeper at what you posted - specifically the link. How odd that you have to enable a feature that (clearly) exists in Live in such a way. Why do they hide it so?? :? I'...

Re: Ghosts of VSTs Past... Need an Exorcism on a .als File

@Tarekith - I brought it over like that. It was doing it on the old Mac too, but I hadn’t stripped everything yet so I just ignored it. I made it in 32 bit Live and there’s a lot of bowed instruments tracks from AAS String Studio that got dinged when everything went 64 bit. I figured it was one of t...

Ghosts of VSTs Past... Need an Exorcism on a .als File [Solved]

I have an old track I'm beefing up with the wonders of modern technology. I got a new M1 Mac and had to migrate to the new workstation with Rosetta and/or switching from VST2/3 to using Audio Units in mind. So in prep for the new machine I just stripped all plugins out of the Live set that are not L...
