Avid hates you that's a given. Avid MC is a wonderful piece of software, it's also the most aggravating piece of software.
All right so today MC crashes on launch on my Mac while scanning for "AMPIPluginDSM.avx". That's MC telling you right now it doesn't like your audio plugins.
It didn't have a problem a moment ago, and times and times before that, but that does not matter with Avid, now it decided to crash.
Tomorrow it'll open fine, or something else will make it crash. It won't tell you what makes it crash either, why would it?
So for the moment you cannot open MC because of this tantrum.
No worries. Go to: BootDrive/Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/
In there you will see a "Plug-Ins" folder. All your audio plugins live in there.
Add another folder and name it "Plug-Ins (Unused)".
Move all your plugins from "Plug-Ins" folder to "Plug-Ins (Unused)" folder.
Launch MC, lo and behold it opens. Wonderful! Except that now you have no access to your wonderful audio plugins.
Quit MC. This time move all your plugins the other way around from "Plug-Ins (Unused)" folder to "Plug-Ins" folder.
Launch MC. Lo and behold, it opens fine!!! What a piece of crap.
OK, now go edit you lazy ponce.
