Computer Swap Lost Sounds

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I recently changed from Mac Probook to Mac mini. When I went to upload my songs in Logic, some of my NI sounds no longer play. Everything seems downloaded and installed correctly, Im assuming I've updated NI firmware during this switch which caused the problem.

The software sound plugin shows up as green, not sure if that's normal. This specific sound is from Analog Dreams. When I open the plugin, Analog Dreams doesn't come up. Im sure, I can select it but I assume I would lose all my previous settings if I open a new instance. Any way I can't my exact sounds back up? Any help would be great! Thanks!

Hello,

first start kontakt stand alone and see if everything is there,.of not give it time to scan the sounds and build up the database, same with kk and other stand alone instruments.

Without knowing what your conversion consisted of and how it was done it could be any number of things either within Native Instruments or in your configuration of audio and midi in Logic or even the Mac operating system.

@Uwe303 , this was the first thing I tried but it didn't resolve the issue. Everything seems to be okay on that end.

@DunedinDragon, the only thing I did was swap computers and try to open the project on the new computer. I did have to redownload all the NI applications on the new computer and redownload sounds.

ok cause on your picture from kk analog dreams is missing but it must be there in order to be able to open the sounds, or do you mean stand alone you see all the stuff but not in the plugin?

@Mattsweit1 Was your previous Mac an Intel Mac and your new Mac is a Silicon/M1/M2, etc…Mac? If you want to open projects made on an Intel Mac, you need to run Logic in Rosetta mode: How to Open Your DAW Using Rosetta

That is the case, I had an intel MacBook before and now I have an apple mini M4 Pro. Unfortunately, running in Rosetta mode did not fix the issue. It seems like a problem with Komplete Kontrol. If the sound originated from Kontakt, it has no issues. Thanks for giving me hope though!
