I can't use plugins in logic

I'm having trouble using some plugins in Logic Pro, such as Alchemy. In the Plugin Manager, they are not checked under the "Use" column, and I can't manually check them either. I’ve already tried “Full Audio Unit Reset” and “Reset & Rescan Selection,” but the issue remains. Does anyone know how to fix this or what I can do to make them usable?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.5

Logic's built-in plugins are always grayed-out in the "Use" of the plugin manager. It was never possible to check them manually.

Good point, Eddie!


"Is it possible that you are not using the correct slot to use the instrument?"


That's a real possibility!


That's something I struggle with everyday with the black text on a very dark background. Even on a 24" screen it's very hard to read.


I'll put in another feature request for better contrast and color choice between the text and the text background on the Inspector.


Keep the good suggestions coming, Eddie. You'll think they'll get tired of my feature requests? I hope not.
