I’ve just installed Cabage AU on OS X and try to use it with Logic Express. In Logic’s AU Manager CabbageEffectName is not enabled, it says: could not be opened. Here is a log file: ``` AU Validation Tool Version: 1.6.1a1 Copyright 2003-2013, Apple Inc. All Rights Reserved.

It looks like Logic is trying to open what it thinks is an AU but is actually a VST? The AU effect plugin is “aumf Wx2a Cabu”. So Logic doesn’t see the CabbageAUSynth, or CabbageAUEffect AUs? Are they in your ~\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components directory? If not then the installer messed something up. ---

The folder \Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components is not in my home directory (~) but in my root. Might that be it? Richard ---

There should be one in your home folder too? If not, you can try creating one. Cabbage will look in that directory when it runs as an AU. ---

Sorry, my bad. There IS one in my home folder and that one contains the two AU files. But: only CabbageEffectNam shows up in the Audio Unit Manager of Logic Express and that shows as failed with the log file I provided. But that’s not the same as the CabbageAuEffect, is it? In that case, both of the AU’s are not seen by Logic. ---

Do you have any ideas where Logic is picking up that CabbageEffectNam from? If so can you remove it and try again? Or what happens when you run **auval -a** from your ~/Library/Audio/Plugin-Ins/Components dir? ---

I removed that component now, to no avail. Here’s the file with the command output. It does point to some corruption… [out.txt](https://forum.cabbageaudio.com/uploads/default/original/1X/608a2235c45c74278445aef9c6f165478123e896.txt) (8.6 KB) ---

I can’t really see what the problem here is, but I’ll take a look once I get back to my OSX machine, which won’t be for a few weeks I’m afraid. I assume it doesn’t work with Garageband either?
