Re: [Avid-L2] Re: MC5 on MacBook Pro fails to launch

A post on the Avid Mac forum suggests that having Soundflower installed will lead to this behaviour. I don't have that but I do have Audio Hijack Pro - maybe that is linked? Never been a problem up to now. Good thing I've still got MC 4.x on another partition under OS 10.5.8.

Some RTAS plug-ins aren't, in fact, properly compliant with the spec, so they'll work in Pro Tools, but not MC. Avid doesn't test every plug-in out there, leaving it up to the individual developers to test their product in MC5.
