Summary0005475: Ardour 3.1 OS X beta crashes when opening certain Audio Unit Instruments
DescriptionFiling this under 3.0 git because I don't know where else to file 3.1 OS X beta bugs.

Several AU instrument plugins (I haven't found any effects plugins that do it yet, but I don't have many plugins installed on my laptop) cause A3.1 to crash when you double click on the plugin in the mixer to open its UI. LinPlug FreeAlpha and IK Multimedia SampleTank are free examples that cause the crash.

Also, after the crash Ardour will fail to launch for about 30-60 seconds, crashing at the "setting up audio" screen but this isn't always reproducible.

Crash log included below, let me know if there's anything else you need.

Can confirm that it isn't just instrument plugins, AmpliTube Free also causes crashes.

Also, opening the plugin interface in A2 doesn't cause a crash, so it seems to be somehow A3 specific.

finally a little solution for AU plugins:
1 or more IAC ports
1 or more AU plugin(s) with audio out routed thru jack
1 or more audio track(s) in Ardour3 receiving these audio signals
1 or more MIDI track(s) recorded and edited in Ardour3

Weird since it doesn't affect only MIDI plugins, I can get it to crash on a few effects plugins too. I'll have to try something similar with AmpliTube and see what happens.

Also, all the plugins listed by me are free, anyone can download them to replicate this bug.

 the idea is to leave the plugins ( if standalone) "outside" Ardour and to route the audio signal(s) out of Ardour with Jack, process it( them ), and go back to Ardour ( aux bus or audio track)... as we made on real mixing desks, "send"ing audio to external effects and "return".....
