If you need me to do part 2 of you response let me know after you have reviewed the above. Maybe that will do. Thanks. I'd actually like to confirm that a previous build passed on your system. Could you try installing this earlier build and running that same auval command? Does it pass?? https://update.pgmusic.com/support/mpatch/bb2023_mac_update_build704_dawplugin_5.4.7.pkgNote: You can always reinstall the current build: https://update.pgmusic.com/support/mpatch/bb2023_mac_update_build705.pkgThanks for sticking with this. Edit - One more thing. Can you run the 'Standalone' version of the plugin and see if anything strange happens? You can find this in your Band-in-a-Box folder here: BBPlugin | Files | Band-in-a-Box DAW Plugin Standalone.appOnce you open that, check File | Preferences | Folder Locations. What is the Band-in-a-Box path listed there?

Hi Pierre,
So it doesn't seem like you are having the same problem as Hogman, since validation succeeds for you. I'll move your post into it's own thread, so reply there with more details about what specifically the problem is...
In this thread we will continue to work on Hogman's problem.

So here we go,
1. I've reinstalled the earlier builds on the links you sent me, 704 and 705. Please note that I have done this before. 2. I ran the ouval command and I don't see anything that changed. I have copied the information and can pass it along to you. For now I have it saved. 3. I re-ran the aumu file and below are the results.

I also ran the Standalone program and I don't see anything unusual for now. Tracks and styles are loading up fine. However I could not check the File/Preferences/Folder Locations from the open window.
As mentioned before one thing that we have not tried is going into the Library/Chaches. You didn't think it would make a difference so I thought I would defer.
I'm not out for the count yet.

After installing this... https://update.pgmusic.com/support/mpatch/bb2023_mac_update_build704_dawplugin_5.4.7.pkg...you should have 5.4.7 installed, but the auval report shows you have 5.5.2 installed. I want to see that report when you have 5.4.7 installed.

Andrew, ss I noted before, the one thing that I have not tried is going into the Library/Chaches that you mentioned . You didn't think it would make a difference so I thought I would defer but I can run it down if you were waiting for me to do so.
I also thought I would mention is that I've always ordered the hard drive to install the programs and I have 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. The plugin, as far as I can remember worked with the 2022 version that I bought in the spring. I'm wondering if there is a file that was copied on the 2022 and not the 2023 disk drives? I know that the disk drives are mass copied, so maybe something there. I could check for you if you instructed me on what to look for and how to do it.
thanks bn

Andrew, ss I noted before, the one thing that I have not tried is going into the Library/Chaches that you mentioned . You didn't think it would make a difference so I thought I would defer but I can run it down if you were waiting for me to do so. Sure, go ahead and do that. It is definitely worth a try. So, if I'm understanding you correctly now, there has been no build 5 (Version 2023) AU plugin that works on your system? The reason I'm asking is because there was an AU validation problem that was specific to one of the 2023 release builds. I had been assuming that your problem was related to that but I think I misunderstood. So, you're saying this build does NOT work, is that correct? https://update.pgmusic.com/support/mpatch/bb2023_mac_update_build704_dawplugin_5.4.7.pkgTo be clear, download and install this package, then run the validation tool as described earlier and see if it completes successfully. Moving on then, the plugin was updated last summer to support Apple's silicon chips, and at this point our earliest supported OS (for the plugin) was bumped from 10.7 to 10.9 (Mavericks). Since you have Sierra (10.12) that should not be a problem, but perhaps this is when it stopped working on your system for one reason or another, perhaps a missing dependency. You could do the same test as above, with two "2022" builds. To do this, follow these simple steps (You should read through all steps before proceeding, so you understand what you are doing.) 1. Open your Band-in-a-Box folder, and find the main Band-in-a-Box app (Band-in-a-Box.app). Duplicate this (click on it and command+D) and name the duplicate "Band-in-a-Box 2023.app". 2. Install Version 2022 with plugin build 4.6.15: https://update.pgmusic.com/support/mpatch/bb2022_mac_update_build605.pkg3. Run the auval test and take note of the results. Ideally, copy into a text file to save. auval -v aumu Oaw8 Manu 4. Install Version 2022 with plugin build 4.8.7. This is the first build that is a universal binary that natively supports both Intel and Silicon Macs. https://update.pgmusic.com/support/mpatch/bb2022_mac_update_build609.pkg5. Run the auval test again as above. If the test succeeds with build 4.6.15 but fails with 4.8.7, then we know this is when it stopped working on your computer. 6. To get back to Band-in-a-Box 2023, do the following. The "Band-in-a-Box.app" will be 2022 at this point - delete this. Rename the "Band-in-a-Box 2023.app" back to Band-in-a-Box.app. Now you can install the Build 705 update patch: https://update.pgmusic.com/support/mpatch/bb2023_mac_update_build705.pkg

ok so I've downloaded the 5.4.7 patch and it shows that it was installed. So now for me, after this, its really getting into the weeds. I don't have a clue what I am or will be doing as far as trying to correct this. I'm not a savy computer wia At 71 years old this is overwhelming me.

Ok - you should reinstall the latest patch and use the standalone DAW plugin version. Just drag tracks from there into Logic. This will be almost the same as using the AU plugin from within Logic. You can find the standalone version here:
/Applications/Band-in-a-Box/BBPlugin/Files/Band-in-a-Box Standalone DAW Plugin.app.
Let me know if you have any questions about that.
