I have been using the UAD Console Recall Plugin on my M1 iMac/apollo x8 during the last six months without any issues in Gig Performer, but it seems that after the update to Big Sur Version 11.6.5 something has changed. I have to do a complete restart of my system sometimes in order to get Gig Performer to start when I want to open a Gig File which has the UAD Console Recall Plugin in it.
This is really a shame, because the UAD Console Recall Plugin is really useful.
What happens with a DAW?
With Logic there is no problem using the Recall Plugin.
What happens when you build a new gig with just that plugin?
Then Gig Performer crashes instantly, but this does not happen all the time. Sometimes after restarting my Mac the situation seems to “recover”, when I have a Gig File with the plugin.
I just have the plugin inserted without making any connections with cables. I think this should be okay. Or do you think the plugin should be connected with a cable with something.
Anyway it always worked without connecting it.
Can you please post the crash log? (or copy it to a text file and upload)
How do I get the Crash Log?
Is the UAD plugin Intel or Native? Are you running GP in native mode or under Rosetta?
Open “Console” app and look for > Crash Reports
Sorry, I want to upload the crash logs, but I am not able to upload anything via the upload symbol here.
UAD native, GP native.
Can you ZIP it?
Why 2 different crash logs?
And did you make this manual steps mentioned?
This crash is happening in the UA plugin - it’s not a Gig Performer problem. Feel free to reach out to them and pass the info below to them. They’ll probably tell you they don’t support GP but it is a bug in their plugin as easily shown by the crash report below

Also, from looking closely, that plugin is an Intel AU plugin which Apple automatically runs under Rosetta — all bets are off in that scenario as you’re now mixing native (GP) and Intel code. UA probably did enough testing to make sure it worked with Logic and that’s it.
You might try running the Intel version of Gig Performer so that everything is running under Rosetta and see if that works.
I just thought that 2 logs provide more info, anyway with regard to the manual steps I can say that I did all this or in other words all my UAD Plugins are running fine. The only problem I got is the recall plugin.
Thank you I will try. In that caseI hope that running GP under Rosetta will not cause other problems.
Dunno — users have reported that it seems to run fine but we’re not going to officially support GP under Rosetta since we do provide an Apple Silicon version and it is pretty certain that any issues will be caused by Rosetta. We had an Apple Silicon version available as soon as M1 machines became commercially available and I don’t know why the plugin developers didn’t do the same thing as M1 based developer machines were available a year or so before they were officially released. Plenty of time to port!
If we see a crash in GP (not in the plugin) that can be replicated on an Intel machine, then we’ll obviously take it seriously but if it only happens when running under Rosetta, then there’s really nothing we can do, we’re not going to debug Rosetta!
I’m still using an Intel machine for live performance and I won’t switch to an M1 until every plugin I need to use is also available in Apple Silicon.

Unbill now my issue is not resolved. I understand that this seems to be the responsibility of Universal Audio. So I posted my problem in their forum:
