NDSP Ghost In My Machine

[TJontheRoad]

I finally got around to deleting all the NDSP plug-in demos in my 2018 Intel Mac Mini. But now this P.I.T.A. dialog box comes up everytime I launch Logic. I can't seem to find out how to get rid of this ghost in my machine. Anyone know?

No, I don't want to buy it

Have you tried Discord?

It's clear you haven't removed the Granophyre or it didn't uninstall correctly. Just find your VST plugin folders and remove it manually if the uinstaller is no longer available.

Open the iLok software and disable your licenses.
Then if you want to clear out the plugins from Logic you need to go to your Macs user library, and do a search and choose to show system files as results. Search for “Neural”. Delete.

Just fire up the Delorean, go back to before you installed their trash, and talk yourself out of it. Easy peezy.

You’ll need to clear out the plugins from your computer like mentioned before. Here is some info regarding location. I would say to delete all you can find (au of course, but also vst, aax, etc).

Where are third-party Audio Units plug-ins installed on Mac? - Apple Support

If you need to manually remove third-party Audio Units plug-ins, you can find the files in the Library folders on your Mac.

support.apple.com

If you want to rescan your plugin library in Logic you can probably use this:

Remove, disable, or rescan macOS Audio Units plug-ins in Logic Pro for Mac or MainStage - Apple Support

Learn what to do if you're using third-party Audio Units plug-ins and Logic Pro or MainStage isn't working properly, or if you can't find a recently installed plug-in.

EDIT: also, make sure your default project that loads when you first launch Logic does not have a track trying to use Granophyre.

NEVER!!!

I never downloaded it in the first place. I've tried others though and have deleted them all.

Good idea. Tried that. Ghost is still drinking my beer.

Did the re-scan. I searched every directory for words like "Granophyre", NDSP, Neural, and whatever

No luck

I don’t know if this was meant to be a joke, but I find the Discord server to be helpful. I was able to speak with an Admin there about an issue I was having and it was immediately corrected.

Have you tried a full audio unit reset in Logic‘s plugin manager? Logic will clear the cache and rescan the plugins after a restarting the program.

Ah, an Exorcism. That should help!

My vote is still on iLok. It has a history… of fuck shit
