Ableton Forum

I was just wondering …
My friends Live 5.2 does see and uses the ltmLAB 808 drum plug-in which has been a free give-away with the CD of Keyboards magazine earlier this year. Both AU and VST versions are fine on his 12" PowerBook, but on my MacBook Pro running 6.01 I can't even find both AU and VST versions in Live's browser. I don't know if the plug-in is a universal binary and there is no website to check for--how can I tell if it's UB anyway, I'd really like to know. If it's not UB, would that be the reason why 6.01 won't accept it? I'm sorry but I have no other VST or AU host to verify on my MacBook Pro :/
Oh btw, I'm talking all Apple here!

Can someone please shed some light on this--I fell in love with that 808 for sure

I've contacted Urs Heckmann and he was so kind to confirm that as of yet the ltmLAB plug-ins aren't UB unless otherwise stated. They'll be updated, when there'll be time …

Problem solved.

In the meanwhile, here's how you can find out if your plug-in is UB or not: click on the file and hit CMD-I to bring up the info. Under the General section look for where it says Kind (it's the first entry). If it says Application (Universal) it's a UB, if it says Application (PowerPC) it's not.

Alright! thanks for sharing this!
