Symptoms

The Logic Pro or Express 8 startup process may stop when the startup screen shows "Searching for Audio Unit plug-ins." The mouse pointer remains an arrow, and the computer remains responsive. You can still quit Logic using the keyboard shortcut (Command-Q).

Products Affected

Logic Express 8, Logic Pro 8

Resolution

This can happen if the Audio Unit cache file is unusable. To resolve the issue:

  1. In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
  2. Type ~/Library/Caches in the "Go to the folder" field.
  3. Press the Go button
  4. Remove the "com.apple.audiounits.cache" file.

The next time you start Logic, the installed Audio Unit plug-ins will be rescanned and Logic should then startup normally.
