HELP! DP5 MAS Plugins Missing, Para EQ and MW Equalizer

Posted September 19th, 2008, in: Computer Problems and Fixes| Technology

PROBLEM: In MOTU Digital Performer (DP5), at least 2 of the Plug-Ins that came with the software are missing from within the program.  Both of the ones I know are missing for sure are Parametric Equalizers, which is an odd coincidence.

The following is a copy of a forum post I made to MotuNation.com.  I never post to forums so this is an indication of how desperate I’m getting.

Please help me. This is driving me crazy.
Suddenly my MW Equlaizer and my Para EQ Plugins don’t show up in the list of plugins available from the Mixer. They do get scanned/loaded during the splash screen at startup. They’re just not listed via the mixer or via the Audio Menu (Audio>Audio Plug-Ins).
This is what I’ve tried, not necessarily in this order and some of these things I’ve done multiple times:

  • *Repaired Permissions (All were/are correct according to Disk Utility)
  • *Varified/Repaired Hard Drive (Disk Utility said it’s fine)
  • *Uninstalled and Re-Installed DP
  • *Trashed User/Library/Preferences/com.motu.DigitalPerformer.plist
  • *Deleted Auth-DigitalPerformer 5.0
  • *Renamed User/Library/Preferences to Preferences-old (to flush all system prefs at the user level)
  • *Renamed ParaEQ.bundle (By this time I’m making solutions up!)
  • *Moved Plugins from HardDrive/Library… to User/Library… (and back)

The .bundle files are there in HardDrive/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/MAS/ but they just wont become available via the UI. I have been googling like mad since yesterday and getting nowhere. I’m going crazy. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Please help me if you can. Thank You.
