Why won't Live 9 recognize Altiverb 7 after update to 7.1?
Why won't Live 9 recognize Altiverb 7 after update to 7.1?
I seem to remember this being a problem before, and I can't remember if it turned out to be the fault Altiverb makers Audioease, or if it was Ableton.
Anyways: I had Altiverb 7 installed, and have used it in a couple of projects. I just updated to 7.1.2, and now Live 9 says the plug-in can't be found when I open the projects where I use the plug-in.
Why won't Live recognize Altiverb? It is still called "Altiverb 7", as is clearly seen when I search for the plug-in.
This is very annoying, because naturally I don't remember the preset I used, the settings I used etc. for Altiverb ...
Any clever solutions for this problem?

Did you find a solution to this? I have the same - years of projects with lost Altiverb settings because of this.

It works if I add Altiverb to a new project and save that - this reopens fine.
But if I try to open a bit older project (any of the ones from over 6 years), it says it can't find Altiverb. Also, Audioease update Altiverb 6 to 7 so that the plugin id is same - all the old projects use Altiverb 7 as well. Or would, if they would open. So I can't open them with any older version.

Anyone figure out why this happens or how to fix it? I'm having the same issue in Live 10 with Altiverb 7 after updating from 7.3.5 to 7.3.6.
Re: Why won't Live 9 recognize Altiverb 7 after update to 7.1?
For this issue, the only solution I know that works with newer and older versions of plugins, is to have, in your case, both 7 and 7.1.2 versions installed. That way your older projects pick up the 7 version and if you want to "upgrade" them to 7.1.2 just make a new copy of 7.1.2 in those projects and transfer the settings manually or via creating/saving presets from the 7 version.digid wrote:Any clever solutions for this problem?

Here's what I received from Altiverb tech support:
From Altiverb 7.0 to Altiverb 7.1 the Altiverb plug-in changed from Audio Unit plug-in format (internal). Any Audio Unit host could deal with this, except Live. We asked Ableton repeatedly to fix this, but they were not interested. If you now did an update to the latest Altiverb 7 and you were using Altiverb 7.0 before, then sorry, your projects cannot open with this modern Altiverb 7, nothing we can do about this.
Ableton, PLEASE FIX THIS.
