Amps & IR's not loading / MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2 // Logic Pro 10.8.1

Setup - MacBook Pro M1 Max / MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2 // Logic Pro x 10.8.1

Hi Steven,
How are you?

I'm running into a similar issue.

The stand alone app allows me to load Amps and IR's.
Within Logic I can add the Plugin to a channel. I have control over the settings via the control knobs but I can't load any amps or IR's. I click the folder icon next the Amp symbol, access the folder located on my desktop and select the Vox30 V2.nam and it doesn't load. The same happens when attempting to load an IR. I access the folder located on my desktop and select the Matchless 2x12 G12H30 sm57.wav and it doesn't load.

I used the NeuralAmpModeler-v0.7.7-mac.dmg installer.

I have also downloaded:
NeuralAmpModeler.app.dSYM
NeuralAmpModeler.component.dSYM
NeuralAmpModeler.vst3.dSYM
I haven't used these as I am unsure what to do with them and if I need to.

I would really appreciate some direction.

Many thanks

C

As far as I'm aware, Mac users need to select a folder, and then the files in the folder will populate a list that is accessible by clicking a slot.

Hi Don,
Thank you. I think I've tried that but will try again.
Many thanks

I have tried again.
When loading the standalone APP you do indeed select a folder and then can select from the content.
Although I get an input signal I still cant hear anything apart from the direct input from my Apogee Ensemble (Thunderbolt).

The Plugin situation is the same as before. I check in the Plugin manager and is has been recognised and loads ok. Within the Plugin you have to select the actual file and not the folder. I do that and still nothing loads. Very frustrating as the plugin looks and sounds fantastic from the clips I've been listening too.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What is the complete path on your computer to the files you're trying to use?
Can you share copies of the files that aren't working?

Hi Steven,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Example paths for Amp and IR is:

AMP
Desktop/Stuff/Studio7/Plugins/Neural Amp Model/Amp/Fender Twin Pack

*I can not up load the file as it will not allow me to add .nam extensions-
Tim R Fender TwinVerb Norm Bright.nam

IR
Desktop/Stuff/Studio7/Plugins/Neural Amp Model/IR/Celestion Greenback - Jet City Vertical 2 x 12IR

*I can not up load the file -
Matchless 2x12 G12H30 sm57.wav

Is there any other way to upload the files to you?
The original Amp & IR were downloaded from ToneHunt.

Many thanks

Hi Steven,

Just wanted to let you know that I am experiencing the same issue in Logic. It happened with Ventura and Sonoma. I have moved the file folders to a variety of locations with the same results. Interestingly enough, I have zero issues running the program in garageband.

Thanks for the awesome app.

Hi I have just installed v.0.7.8 and none of my .nam files or IR files on the same file path from my previous version of NAM will load up in the standalone version as the files are greyed out in the folder I was previously using.Not tried in Logic or Motu DP10 as yet. Sonoma on Mac v14.3

Hey @Mickp69 - try selecting the folder containing the files instead of the individual files (this is standalone?)

Mickp69 · Answer 9 · Tue Feb 27 2024 02:19:38 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Hi thanks for suggestion, it is standalone and I have picked the folder first but the trouble is files are greyed out in the folder and unavailable to select. The NAM plugin works just fine and loads all my .nam files in Logic Pro as I have just tried it out so not sure what the issue isSent from my iPhone 12 ProOn 26 Feb 2024, at 16:26, vossen ***@***.***> wrote: Hey @Mickp69 - try selecting the folder containing the files instead of the individual files (this is standalone?) —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you were mentioned.Message ID: ***@***.***>

@Mickp69 you're having a separate problem from what this Issue is about.

You need to select the folder, not the file in the macOS standalone. The reason is because macOS will not grant the standalone the permissions to the files that the arrows would access unless the user clicks with their mouse on the folder containing them in a picker dialog--hence the "odd one out" functionality.

Like this:

Select the folder icon as usual...

(Single-) click on the folder, then click "Open".

...and it'll open the first .nam in the folder.

I'm going to hide the comments about this separate issue as off-topic so I can keep this Issue focused on the OP's problem.

Hi apologies as I hadn’t been using the standalone for a while and lost sight of the method. I use NAM mostly through Tonocracy and did have issues this week with Tonocracy plugin not validating in logic 10.8.1. but fine in my Motu DP. This has now been fixed in Tonocracy 2.1 which the techs sent me a beta to try.

I got an email notification for new activity on this Issue, but I don't see it.

Looking up at the above, it's a bit dizzying what this Issue is all about. If there's still a problem, please open a new Issue and we'll pick it up from there. Thanks!
