Ableton 11.1.5 does not update plugins list after rescan [Solved]

Post by spinlud » Sat May 28, 2022 3:22 pm

I am on MBP M1 Max running Ableton 11.1.5 Universal. I have found that Ableton does not update AU/VST/VST3 plugins list even after a rescan.
For example if I manually remove an AU plugin from "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components" and do a rescan on Ableton, the same plugin is still showing up in the list.

It is not a bug, its AU's validations some of them require you to restart Mac for them to be removed from Abletons list

Ah I didn't know that, my bad. Thanks!
