It's been roughly 8-9 months since Apple introduced OS 13 Ventura.
People went nuts regarding Waves' switch to a subscription system - with good reason, and to their credit, Waves reversed course on that - but at least their plugins are Ventura compatible, and have never crashed Logic on my Mac.
I have hundreds of plugins from a wide variety of developers.
The only plugins that crash my Mac at all (I run Ventura for a variety of good reasons) are several from Plugin Alliance. Everything else works. Now, I realize that some time back, PA's main studio was flooded and ruined. So I can't get too angry with them, they've had a lot to deal with.
Still...
They're selling plugins. I own most of what they sell, and have bought a BUNCH of their recent ones. They're all up-to-date. Yet many crash Logic every time. And who wants to bother to remember which ones work, and which of theirs crash the system?
I emailed them to explain why I wasn't sticking with one of their purchase programs. I explained that if I can't run them, I can't buy them. They said they can't predict when they'll be compatible.
OK, PA, you've been through a lot, and I'm not angry, but it IS frustrating that after a long gestation period you can't get this together. 8-9 months is a fairly long time to wait! And I really like their plugins - the GUIs are understandable and easy to get around on, the sound quality is excellent, and most of the plugins are pretty effing creative!
I wish they'd hurry up and fix this situation.
End of rant. I feel much better now.
