Using Audio Units Effects Plug-ins
In addition to the included effects plug-ins, you can add plug-ins in the Audio Units
format. Audio Units plug-ins are available from Apple and third-party manufacturers.
When adding third-party plug-ins to your computer, be sure to read the documentation,
including any Read Me and installation files that came with the plug-in.
Apple Audio Unit plug-ins appear in the Apple submenu of the Add Plug-In pop-up
menu. Third-party Audio Unit plug-ins appear in submenus featuring the
manufacturer’s name in the Add Plug-In pop-up menu.
You add Audio Unit plug-ins in the same way as the included effects, by choosing the
plug-in from the appropriate submenu of the Add Plug-In menu. You adjust Audio Unit
plug-in parameters, view plug-in windows, and delete plug-ins just as you would with
the included plug-ins.
Using the Audio Units Manager
WaveBurner uses the Apple AU Validation Tool to ensure that only plug-ins which fully
comply with the Audio Unit specification are used. This minimizes problems that may
be caused by third-party Audio Unit plug-ins when running WaveBurner.
The validation process takes place automatically when:
 WaveBurner is first opened.
 WaveBurner is updated.
 You install new Audio Unit plug-ins, or update existing ones.
You can see the results of the scan in the Audio Units Manager.
To open the Audio Units Manager:
m Choose WaveBurner > Audio Units Manager.
The results of the test are shown in the Compatibility column. Audio Unit plug-ins that
“failed” the validation test, can be enabled—but be aware that these plug-ins can
cause problems. Use of plug-ins that have failed the validation can negatively affect the
test results of subsequently scanned plug-ins, can cause WaveBurner to quit
unexpectedly, or even lead to data loss (destroyed project files).
It is strongly recommended that you check the manufacturer’s website for updated
versions of Audio Unit plug-ins which fail validation.
