However the fact that I'm using an Apple MacBook Pro M1 always seems to get lost in translation. But I totally do appreciate the initial help. Because sometimes there are PC methods that I figure out to help me on Mac. For sometimes the problem may translate across both platforms.

Asking for help in these big product general discussion topic threads is an easy way to have your post buried by unrelated posts.

You are probably trying to use the Team Guiseppe releases of Studio one and Omnisphere 3 right? And then with Sonic Extensions. If you think that Mac configuration help is sparse on here, with the majority of users being on Windows; narrow the Mac users down by quite a considerable additional percentage who are actually using the combination of those three+ products.... and i'm not one of them either.

Make sure everything is firewalled in correctly. The first thing I would try would be to rule out the DAW. Use Bluecat Audio's Patchwork standalone application version and just load Omnisphere. If still not working, use Terminal commands, Permissions Reset 2, or BatChmod on the Sonic Extensions and make sure they are read/write/execute allowed for all users. After that check and/or dequarantine them, clear xattrs, codesign the extensions, even if you did it previously. If you have them on an external drive, MacOS Tahoe is even more bitchy than ever about that because external volumes are being preferred over internal paths for resource resolution. It might actually be easier to redirect the plugin to look at the Macs internal default disk location, and then symlink to the external. You are tricking it into thinking it is perfectly fine to open since it is pseudo-located on the local disk.

And if Spectrasonics took any action to block shared Sonic Extensions, thats another layer to deal with somehow.

Thank you clone for the major High School Homework project I have ahead of me to learn now. And Mom is gone so I don't know if that's good or bad. For she would surely be up my ass to find the sources to figure it out.
