Hi there, first posting up here, so hello and what not!
I already phoned with the Steinberg support (got through surprisingly fast, pretty nice folks, too, so thumbs up for that already) because I couldn’t find anything about the issue round these parts or online in general.
I’m about to purchase Absolute 6, the main reason being Groove Agent. So I downloaded the demo and stumbled upon this issue.
Here goes: Under Logic 11.0.1 (yeah, the dark side, I know…) on a Macbook Air (M3) running Sonoma (14.6.1), the “Find Missing Samples” dialog doesn’t show up in case there’s, well, missing samples (I forced the situation to find out because for me that’s a crucial function I wanted to make sure it’d work).
The function does work in standalone mode, it also works when using it inside Komplete Kontrol (which would then run in standalone mode) and, most importantly, it also works when starting Logic in Rosetta mode (even if GA itself should be fully ARM-compatible without any Intel traces left).
Apparently it’s related to the way Logic treats plugins in silicon-native mode, namely as a separated process (which is supposed to deliver better stability, kinda like a sandbox thing IMO).
So, while the Steinberg support has already entered things into their database, I would like to ask some Logic users (are there any up here in enemy land?) to try and reproduce this, so this could officially be tagged as a bug, possibly raising more attention at the Steinberg coding headquarters.
Just create a folder, copy some samples into it, drag into GA, save project, close Logic, delete sample folder. reopen project. Will the “Find Missing Samples” floating popup window show up?
And in case it won’t, will it in case you switch Logic to Rosetta-mode (rightclick the application file, get info, set checkmark at “open with Rosetta”)?
Note: It’s really only important for M1/2/3-Mac users (otherwise there won’t be any Rosetta mode to try with anyway and I’d bet the issue doesn’t exist on Intel machines at all to start with).
So much for now, thanks for reading, your potential participation and all that.
