Hey man, Maestro worked great I just installed 24 pkg's in one go (which I would have probably skipped because sooo lazy right now) but with Maestro it was a breeze.. All components detected by Ableton just like that..
had to install Installpkg of course !

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!

edit : Sequoia 15.5 M4

 

i just installed most plugins in a virtual machine i have the vst3 license preset folder and copied everything to my host so that i know everything will work then compressed the folders into rar so that i only have to drag the folders into place this does not work with all plugins for example plugins that use system id then you only have to use the keygen the good thing about this is you dont have 50+ installers in your program and features list

 

Huh? Would you please elaborate?

holy smokes!! this is awesome! thank you for the feedback! no issues? I need to add feedback that its consigning correctly.

I also think i might add a feature for the user to paste in what ever form of codesign code they want because there are some different approaches for certain installs

 

Ok @Dom_Perignon can you test this x86 version i just created. Im gonna try my girls computer later which is intel but for not lmk.

Ok here is my update for today. Made a x86 per @Dom_Perignon request. Fixed a few other bugs. Now distributing via .dmg.

Intel Mac Installer x86 - https://pixeldrain.com/u/z16md9Qc
Mac M1+ ARM64 Installer - https://pixeldrain.com/u/wbtAEZMV

Gonna tweak a few more things and see if we get any more bugs on here. And if its clean enough to push to sister site Ill do the upload over there.

 

I need to bake this into the initial install. I thought i did in the code but it looks like it has to be installed separately. Thanks for catching that! I didnt notice since i had it installed previously.

 

There can be different ways to do Codesigning, but since you are going to be dumping a bunch of different plugins and possibly different formats of them; you can just codesign everything on the machine.

I like to issue command sudo whoami in terminal before running many commands, like in patches; all at once. it will ask you for the users password, switch to user Root for the entire Terminal session, and output the result of whoami is root. This way when the commands start flowing into terminal, the user is not interrupting them by trying to type a password as it scrolls out.

This will do everything on the system disk. Add any additional formats you want. If you are going to add Avid search location, for AAX, that is a static location you can add easily. Even if user wants to symlink/alias to an external drive; it is a way safer move to just install to system disk first and then move the contents of plugin folders later.


cd /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/

find . -name "*.bundle" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.VST" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.vst3" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.component" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.dpm" -execdir sudo xattr -cr \;
find . -name "*.bundle" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;
find . -name "*.VST" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;
find . -name "*.vst3" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;
find . -name "*.component" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;
find . -name "*.dpm" -execdir sudo codesign -f -s - {} \;

 

quick update..

I added installing "installpkg" in the background as the "helper tool"

as well as a installer for everything.

https://pixeldrain.com/u/WPNuh1KC - maestro-1.5-x86_64.pkg.zip - intell

https://pixeldrain.com/u/L4UoX5xb - maestro-1.5-arm64.pkg.zip - arm64

 

I still get error.. failed loading...

 

Did a new build. Updated the UI. Might be more buggy than previous still working on ui/ux stuff

ARM64 - https://pixeldrain.com/u/WevJzqbQ
Intel - https://pixeldrain.com/u/7j8tNLXV

 

adding logging to fix errors. thx for this! looking into it

 

well I still got errors...

 

maybe because you should only select .pkg ?

 

like this:

 

Great to know for the Sister Site upload.
Do you still have plans to push the scripts on Github ?

 

Macbook Intel Monterey
No way for me: there’s mismatch with CPU.


Anyway, I don't care so much: Mac intel era is over
I still have to test this new Maestro release on the Mac mini M4, soon I’ll publish my feedback
Thanks for your effort

 

Tested Maestro v1.5 on macmini sequoia:
Works!! Thank you
