A bit off topic for the forum but ... any one out there tried running Izotope Nectar 3 and/or Neutron 3 with Ventura? It's six months after the Ventura release and Izotope has only a tiny percentage of their products ready. I know what the compatible products are and am just interested in the two I mentioned. Thanks!

Ventura 13.3.1 here, using Logic Pro X 10.7.7.

Nectar 3 appears to work fine. Individual controls are available, and the Vocal Assistant runs to completion.

Neutron 3, less so.

Individual controls are available, but Mix Assistant / Track Enhance stalls while “Waiting for you to play audio…” and Mix Assistant / Balance gives the popup error “Some files required by Mix Assistant were not able to be found. Please reinstall in order to use this feature.” At one point, while in Mix Assistant, Logic crashed completely.

Thanks Mark. Have you tried an individual Neutron 3 module to see if it works? I don't use the mix assistant or track enhance. I load a preset that sounds decent and then tweak it. That same preset chain could be set up by loading the individual modules. I do that a lot with Ozone and thought it might work with Neutron based on your comments.
Thanks again,

Bud

Yes, and you can disregard what I said about the assistants not working — I needed to update Neutron to version 3.9.1. Now all appears well, and selecting various presets does what you might expect. So the latest Neutron (at least the latest Neutron 3) works for me on the latest MacOS.

Thanks a lot Mark. I'm also running 3.9.1 so I think I'm gonna go for the Ventura upgrade as I have Ozone 10 also which is already compatible. I wanted to upgrade for some upcoming beta testing but didn't want to lose any song production functions.

Have you migrated to Apple Silicon?

If so, Pluginfo from the App Store is a must. It will tell you if your plug-ins are AS Native or if you have to run over Rosetta II.

Thanks Mike. No I haven't but plan to. It's not the $ but rather the hassle of ordering and setting things up that keep me putting it off. Back in my PC days I upgraded machines at the least every other year. However when I migrated to a Mac in 2011 I've only upgraded once in 2017. So it's time. I guess ... smile And I assuredly would like to avoid Rosetta so thanks again for the mention of that app.
