Hey guys,

Lately, I've reinstalled my OSX due to some storage issues. So it is now Sierra 10.12.3
Whilst in attempt to reinstall my favourite softube bundles, I found out that the cracked version no longer seemed to be working on my new platform.

So, I just decided to get a new cracked version named, "Softube Plug-Ins v1.3.10 Audio Unit OS X [openssh][dada]"

This was the instruction by dada

=====================================================================================
Copy and paste Audio Unit (AU)

Macintosh HD /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/

If you do not have any iLok install:

01 - License Support
02 - iLokClientHelper

BACKUP THE ORIGINAL FIRST!

Replace libstdc_**** at /usr/lib/
(no need to replace if you already did for other releases).

Open menu "Go" in Finder. Select "Go to folder" type /usr/lib

1). Quit all applications and backup the libstdc++.6.0.9.dylib
2). Replace the .dylib file with appropriate one for your system.
3). IMMEDIATELY reboot computer if you don't want it to freeze!
=====================================================================================



Well what I've done by far is copying all the AU files to the directory, Macintosh HD /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ and installing 01 - License Support, 02 - iLokClientHelper as instructed above.

The problem is that I can't modify the directory folder (/usr/lib/) Although I managed to go in to the directory and spot the file (libstdc++.6.0.9.dylib).


and my Logic Pro X seems to recognise the plug-ins but it indicates Crashed Validation on Logic Pro X's plug-In Manager.

any suggestions?

You must disable SIP (System Integrity Protection) to modify /usr/lib/.

Restart mac, press command+R, let it start... Start up Terminal app, type csrutil disable; reboot

if it ask for password, terminal does not show your typing, so type it and press enter.

Mac will restart.

Now you can install in /usr/lib/.

After that you can do csrutil enable; reboot to enable SIP again, but no need unless you lead a dangerous life on the internet, or if you just must open that email that promises you a penis made of concrete if you just give them your credit card details!

Could you please tell us what plugins did you got working on sierra with openssh lib?
Thank you

 

@gorri

Omfg man! I just disabled the SIP to modify the directory and replaced the libstndc file. and they are fucking working! I honestly, didn't expect them to be working because I just couldn't understand how that could possibly make these plug-ins working lol.

Thank you so much man! have a wonderful day!

 

I´m still using El Cap, but if the libstdc is sierra compatible it should work. I recommend you clone/backup your HD and give it a try.

Hi! Im trying to use the Antares Autotune plugin on Logic but since I updated MacOS to Mojave I can't use it because the systems detects I don't have any iLok license. I've read about replacing the file libstdc++.6.0.9.dylib at /usr/lib/ but I don't know how to do it. Do you have any idea about what do I have to do? Is this similar to cracking Softube Plug-Ins? Where can I get the libstdc++.6.0.9.dylib file for my MacOS version? Thanks

 

hmm, did you try codesign -f -s - ?
usually solves my plugins crashing in logic
if youre not familiar with this, just open terminal and type in:
sudo codesign -f -s - *drag plugin .component here*
make sure to leave space after the last -

edit - hella tired didnt see it was solved and SIP wasnt disabled lol, but hope this comment may be helpful for anyone with crashing plugins in logic!

 

Hey can you please explain what file I am replacing the libstndc WITH? It says the correct file for your version. Where do I get the file to replace the other file with? Thanks!

 

Just a note to help others here who use Catalina, you not only disable SIP using the recovery mode terminal command in order to get around usr/lib files that do not allow Admin modifications, but you need to do it to access /System/Volumes/Data as Catalina uses a only second Volume and turning off SIP has no effect whatsoever on getting around these permissions.

Source: see the Ars Technica review of Catalina, the WWDC2019 sesson "What's New in Apple File Systems", and a filesystem map from the Eclectic Light Company.

If you really need to make changes in the content on the read-only system volume, the change/add/etc can be done from modifiable parts of the filesystem (e.g. using /usr/localinstead of /usr). So the rest of this comes with a warning.

To make changes to the normally-read-only volume, you need to both disable SIP's filesystem protection and also re-mount the volume with read access:

1. Restart in Recovery mode (Command-R at startup), open Terminal (from the Utilities menu), and disable SIP filesystem protection with:
   
   csrutil enable --without fs
   
   
2. Restart normally, open Terminal, and remount the root volume for read access:
   
   sudo mount -uw /

At this point, you should be able to make changes everywhere (subject to normal filesystem protections) up until the next restart. Disabling SIP's filesystem protection survives restarts, but remounting with write access does not. If you want everything to be writable after restarting, you'll have to repeat the sudo mount command after each restart. What I'd recommend, though, is locking everything back down as soon as you've made the necessary changes. To do this, restart in Recovery mode, run csrutil enable, then restart again normally.

So /System/Volumes/Data is the read-write data volume
Also, while you need to disable the filesystem protection part of SIP, fully disabling it is overkill; that's why I recommend csrutil enable --without fs -- it turns on (/leaves on) all SIP protections except the filesystem part
