hira78 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 hi I can not see Massive in logic, it opens fine as a stand alone.... please help cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 You can't open it - OK. What does that mean? You try, you select it, but nothing happens? Or you go to your instruments and it is not there? You are not trying to load it into an insert effect slot now are you? It should go in the I/O slot of a Software Instrument Track. Have you checked Library/Audio/Plugins/Components to see if it is there? Did it validate after you installed it and started Logic? Did you start Logic in 32 bits or 64 bits mode?

astech13 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Does this help? Or did you look there and not see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbybass Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 are you running logic in 64 bit mode? which version of massive? is the plugin visibile from the audio units plugin page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hira78 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 hi, yeah sorry for being so vague Massive is not in my instruments list. I have placed the massive.vst in my HD/Library/Audio/Plugins/VST folder & the massive.component in the components folder. The main massive folder is in applications though....

n6smith Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 You don't place the plugins in any folder.. Massive has an installer that must be used .... The installer will place the plugins in exactly the right places... and then you must also activate it via NI's Service Center... Also, Logic only uses AU plugins so moving around VST versions wouldn't help anyhow.. Being honest here.. it sounds to me like you are trying to use a pirate copy.... and if that is the case, you are asking in the wrong place for help... (...and if I'm wrong.. my apologies in which case just run the installer for massive and all should be well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hira78 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 i have already run the installer.....it has installed massive in applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 if it installed correctly, there is an AU plugin in this folder: HD>Library>Audio>Plug-ins>Components. make sure it's there...the massive in the Apps folder is ONLY the standalone. check the AU manager in Logic, make sure it's listed (and validated) there. massive is pretty great, but crashed regularly for me in logic, so...i deleted it. hopefully will run better for you...

hira78 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 hi m8, is that the massive.component file you are talking about? if so it is in the components folder...and there is a massive.vst file in the VST folder. i have 2 identical files for my sylenth & that is fine?? can i use it as a stand alone and transfer what i create to my project in logic? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6smith Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Don't be concerned about the VST file as that is not used by Logic... Logic only uses AU (Component) plugins... Once you have installed Massive make sure you then run NI's Service Center to both Activate Massive and update it to the latest version which you will need to do to make sure it runs correctly with Logic... Did you do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zidis Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Hello, everybody!!! I'm reviving this post because I stumbled across the same issue. Massive was working fine as plugin until last week... Now, i can only open it in standalone mode. This means it is installed correctly. Component, VST 2, VST 3 all in place. NI Access updated it to version 1.5.9, which i think is the last compatible with Logic Pro 9 that I'm using. Do you think that updating might be the problem? Any help is appreciated!!! Thank you, Dimitris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
