Plugins still being emulated after latest silicon compatible update?

I'm on a MacBook Air Silicon, and just updated to the latest version, but I'm still getting that little quick loading screen in Logic when I open a plugin, indicating that it's still being emulated. Does this happen for everyone on a silicon Mac?

Hi Caspar,

If you have installed the latest plug-ins, Logic should use them as native versions. You can check this in the plug-in's About dialog (Help > About). It should show "64-bit, Apple Silicon".

Cheers,

Hi Frederik, thanks for the reply. It does show Apple Silicon in there. I still get the loading screen though (very briefly) which you get with emulations. I have a feeling that is not supposed to be happening :-/

if your plugin says it is running apple silicon then it is running correctly. Nothing to worry about if it takes a second to load up.
