Fairchild crashes Logic

[Nodisko]

When I load a preset into Fairchild it crashes Logic. Time after time. I can use the plugin but I just shouldn't load presets.

I have Logic 7.1.1 and the latest UAD drivers.
I'm on Tiger 10.4.3 on a Dual 1.8 G5.

Maybe my presets are corrupted?

cheers,

Maxim

This has been a long standing problem with the Fairchild. It happens with the Pultec Pro as well.

This doesn't occur with the 1176, or the LA-2A, so what possibly could cause this?

Don't know if there's been a work around, other than loading from the VST pre-set list, but that usually involves a navigation window, and several searches to find the VST pre-set folder.

I wish this would get fixed as well.

I simply do not have this problem here with Logic Pro 7.1.1, UAD 4.1 and Tiger 4.3.

Btw, are those AU presets which you can save and load in logic? I guess they are just logic's plugin settings which I use. I haven't noticed any crashes.

Really? I have the same system specs... you're loading presets from the little pull down triangle, located right above the bypass button?

Oh, so you are talking about a saved Logic "Setting" not a UAD-1 preset?

Either way, no it does not cause Logic to crash on my rig, Jim.

Well, though these are accessed through the AU's "Load Setting" window, which is, yes, where one would save a preset from within Logic, the presets are still supplied by UAD. In other words, these are the presets you can download from UAD's web site, as well as the ones that install with the UAD plug-ins. They are available from that window, as well as from the VST load box.

But what really makes this confusing, is that some of their plug-ins, like the 1176 and LA2A do not crash when accessing their presets in this manner.

Yet the Fairchild and the Pultec Pro crash Logic when Accessing UAD's presets in this manner.

This is a bug that has been acknowledged in this forum in the past.

But you're saying you can load the UAD presets, from the "Load Setting" parameter box from the Fairchild, and Pultec Pro, and not cause Logic to crash?

Let's make sure we are on the same page, Jim.

On the Fairchild i.e. I can load a Logic Setting from within the little triangle either choosing "Load Setting" or simply selecting one of my settings I see below it without Logic crashing.

2 rectangular boxes over to the right I see "Pres 0" (for preset) and there are 15 presets from UA plus some Init ones if I hold the mouse down there. I can load a preset from there without Logic crashing.

At the bottom of the GUI is a "Load VST Preset" which I never have never tried to use because this is an AU not VST so it has not been my expectation that it would work.

These are the only load options I see on the Fairchild.

Hey Jay,
I think we're on the same page, meaning I understand what you're saying...

But try this for me...

On a mono track, load a mono instance of the Fairchild.

Then, click and hold the little triangle to open the \"Load Settings\" box. At the bottom of that box, you should see a category labeled \"mono presets\".

Choose \"Acoustic Guitar\". What happens?

I don't see "mono presets" there. I only see presets in the other rectangle to the right.

Hey Jay,

Thanks for hangin' in there with me.

O.K.... I wonder why I have those there, and you don't. I honestly don't remember ever moving the downloaded presets there, where Logic would see them, but I suppose that's an outside possibility.

FWIW, I am aware of the \"other presets\" found in the rectangle to the right, but the UAD presets didn't use to always appear there. At least not for all the plug-ins, like mono Fairchild. But I see that they do now. I wonder what update fixed that...

Obviously, I'll utilize that preset window now.

Still... the question remains, why does loading from that \"Load Settings\" within the Fairchild and Pultec Pro crash Logic, while loading from that same list in the 1176 and LA2A does not?

My guess would be that it is because that is no longer supposed to be accessed from there. But that is a guess.

Still, isn't it nice that the problem is so easily resolved simply by loading them from the other window? Man, it would be nice if all problems were that easy to fix!

Happy New Year, Jim.

Boy, isn't that the truth!

Happy New Year, Jim.

Same to you my friend. Hope it's a fruitful, healthy and productive New Year for you and yours.
