Logic Pro/Express 8: May stop responding while "Searching for Audio Unit plug-ins" on startup
Resolution
This can happen if the Audio Unit cache file is unusable. To resolve the issue:
- In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
- Type ~/Library/Caches in the "Go to the folder" field.
- Press the Go button
- 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.
