Stop FinalCut Pro From scanning audio plugins

Everytime I open FinalCut Pro it scans all the audio plugins from my plugins folder and this takes hours because I have so many plugins I use for music production on my ableton DAW. Can this be fixed to choose only the plugins I want when opening Final Cut?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.5

Uninstalled application still shows up as an audio output source A while back, I installed a program called Background Music which was used to be able to manually change the volume of each audio source from individual applications. However, I didn't use it, so uninstalled. Months later, I still have the "Background Music" output source in my audio manager (see below). How would I go about removing it from this list?

turn library music volume down in final cut Is there a way to turn the volume down for all the songs in the music library in final cut? (Must be the same as apple music library) I am editing in a timeline which is normalized to european loudness (ebu) norm and my audio is going through a breakout box to my speakers which are set to the right level. But every time I try to listen to a song from the final cut music library, the music is waaay to high.. I cannot turn down my speakers every time. Is there a way to reduce the volume for example by 9 db for all songs in the library like i can do with all my video clips?

Plugins won't work in final cut anymore Hi I have these plugins from Soundtoys: Decapitator Devil-Loc Devil-Loc Deluxe Little Radiator Radiator Few days ago they were all working in Logic and in Final Cut. Suddenly I get a message, when opening Final Cut: Incompatible audio units found - while verifying audio unit compatibility, Final Cut Pro encountered5 Audio Unit Plug-in(s) which did not pass the Apple AU validation. These plugins have been excluded from further usage in Final Cut Pro to prevent possible problems or crashes. Then the plugins I mentioned in the beginning are mentioned. Final Cut opens without problems, and I can see under Audio that plugins from soundtoys are not there. They were there a few days ago. I have tried deleting all the soundtoys files in the Mac´s library, uninstalling the plugins in the iLok Licence Manager and deleting the ~/Library/Caches/AudioUnitCache After that I installed all the plugins again and activated all the plugins in the iLok Licence Manager again. In logic I have used the Plugin Manager. All the soundtoys files are successfully validated. I also tried to remove Final Cut Pro completely and I installed it again. I have updated Logic. Nothing works. I have spent hours on this. In logic everything seems to work, but when opening Final Cut, I still get the message mentioned in the beginning. Please help me. What should I do? Best regards Søren Griberg

It is not normal to check all the plugins every time it starts, although we've had reports of this happening.

One workaround (annoying though it may be):

Make a folder beside the one containing the plugins and call it something line "VST (disabled)"

Make a little script, shortcut or Automator action that moves unneeded plugins to this folder (and optionally calls FCP, so you can do this with one double-click)

Make a complementary script that puts those plugins back.
