SWAM instruments are not appearing in my DAW on macOS. Why?
Be sure you have selected the proper plugin format in the Audio Modeling Software Center, and your DAW is searching for the SWAM plugins in the paths defined in the Audio Modeling Software Center ( ... menu -> Plug-Ins Formats & Paths).
The latest release of the Audio Modeling Software Center application is available here: https://audiomodeling.eu/support/install-and-update/
Discontinued products (SWAM Solo Woodwinds v2, SWAM Solo Strings v2)
If SWAM plug-ins are not detected by your DAW on macOS, try rebooting your system as suggested at the end of the installation.
If that doesn’t resolve the issue, try cleaning the Audio Units cache and reboot the system again. This will cause a full rescan of all the plug-ins installed on your machine.
Here are instructions for cleaning the Audio Units cache on Mac:
- In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder from the menu.
- Type ~/Library/Caches in the Go to Folder field.
- Press the Go button.
- Remove the com.apple.audiounits.cache file.
- Remove the ~/Library/Caches/AudioUnitCache folder.
Applications on Catalina and Big Sur ask to have control of the Finder application. Make sure you allow your DAW to take control of the whole filesystem.
Check this video for a detailed walkthrough on how to give your DAW permission over the whole filesystem.
