windows to osx problems

I mean…you might be using audio units. Most installers I've used install both if they're both available.

Also, that doesn't seem like the kind of that would make the session crash…it seems like it'd just not load those plugins, leave a placeholder, and probably let you know in some way…like if audio files that clips reference are missing.

ok, sorted the problem, it was that osx uses AU and windows uses VST, all fixed now.. still a bit strange how it just completely crashed the program tho!! nevermind. cheers for the help peeps

How did you sort this problem out? Did you manage to tell Ableton to generally use AU instead of VST?! I never did this kind of transfer from Win to OSX but I'm interested as I might have to do so soon...

i just removed the vst's from the project and then sent it that way. all worked and then just put the vst's back in that side

Oh... Doesn't sound quite comfortable!
Ok, with rendering the vst channel audio and importing it as audio it would probably be a lot faster but then one would lose all the flexibility...

i did think about that, but he needed to be able to edit from his side, i tried with a project started from scratch in 8.3 and it worked fine, maybe just a bug seeing as the project we had problems with was started in 8.2.2 on windows, moved to 8.2.6 mac, then back to 8.2.2 and finally to 8.3 lol... its been around
