MacBook Pro M4, many VST plugins cannot be used, even when Rosetta installed, what now?

Post by raapie » Wed Dec 11, 2024 5:28 pm

I found out that many older VST plugins I cannot use in Live. I have installed Rosette but when scanning it doesn't show up. In Reaper however those plugins do show up. Any idea what I can do to solve this issue?

Could you share any examples of plugins? You also have to start Ableton in Rosetta mode, see:

Mac Studio M2 Max and MacBook Pro M1

Genelec M030; Live 12.2; macOS Sequoia

UAD Apollo Twin

rosetta mode should work for AU plugins using live native version
