Hence the reason not to use migration and rebuild the settings file when you switch to another machine. That’s not a GP specific issue, I’ve seen this kind of thing with other applications when the “Library/Application Support” stuff gets copied over.
My bet is that migration is rock solid for Apple included products (Mail, Pages, Numbers, Logic, etc) but all bets are off for other programs which may or may not work properly after migration.
That said, glad you’ve got things working now.
Just as a sidenote: The Gig Files I have been using today contain a lot of Falcon Audio Units, but it seems that now with the new settings file they don’t cause crashes anymore. At least this is my first impression after just a few hours with the new settings file. I hope things will remain stable now.
Make sure they are universal and not left-over Intel only plugins. Personally I would still prefer using VSTs
You should probably let UVI know that the problem is solved.
Before I contact UVI I will wait at least another week because with your kind help we have solved the “settings” crashes, but there have been Falcon caused crashes as mentioned before also on my old system.
