WHERE AAX PLUGINS ARE INSTALLED | PRO TOOLS, MEDIA COMPOSER, AND FIRST

  • Where are your AAX plugins located? This video will show you. The AAX plugin location is the same for Pro Tools, Media Composer, Pro Tools | First, and Media Composer | First (as well as other programs that can use AAX plugins).
    ▶Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins
    ▶Mac: Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins
    Move plugins that are causing problems to the Unused folder, or move them to the Unused folder if you don't want them to load when you launch your program.
    All AAX plugins will install to this directory by default, don't change it! This is the ONLY path that Pro Tools or Media Composer will recognize for audio plugins.

      My sentiments exactly. I’ve searched HIGH and Low for days for this much information.
      I’m still trying to work it out though.
      My ‘instrument’ and ‘other’ folder for plugs only give me an option to choose “Ableton Live (stereo)” and I’m aware that’s a completely diff Daw. I’m so stumped.

    Do I create a plug ins folder and drag and drop them into the same place ?

    Even after copy pasting them back to the plugin folder it isn't working, once you launch again it shows the same error, that they aren't aax 64 bit, though they are! To be honest I was using the HD cracked version before this on the same 64 bit operating system but they were working fine, but not now after switching to 2021.12 (the latest version)

      Pro Tools First cannot run other plugins unless you purchase them from within the Avid Marketplace. Honestly...you are better off using something else. Pro Tools First is fine for some simple editing or if you don't need other plugins. But if you want to use plugins you should subscribe to the full version of Pro Tools or checkout something like Studio One Artist which is cheap, or try Reaper.

      Pro Tools First cannot use third-party plugins. You can only buy additional plugins from the Avid marketplace (at extremely high prices) I only recommend PT | First for people who need very basic recording features. If you need to use additional plugins you should upgrade to the full version of Pro Tools, or another full featured DAW. You can download a trial for the full version of Pro Tools to check it out. You could also try Reaper which is pretty cheap.

    Fine, professional clarification, as always from this author.
    What I found astonishing was, I noticed FL studio as a plugin to ProTools. Astonishing, because FL studio requires installation of ASIO4ALL, which is troublesome to ProTools.
    I once was tempted to install FL studio on the same PC where I had my ProTools, after 5hat installation neither ProTools nor Cakewalk would work, and I had to reset my PC to the status before FL studio. So I am curious how this constellation is possible, and working.

    • @BenoniStudio
      @BenoniStudio  6 років тому +1

      Not sure what version of FL you tried, but for awhile ow FL has shipped with the FL Studio ASIO driver which is probably the best ASIO driver ever. You can even use it with Pro Tools. I'll have a video about that at the end of this month. I'll see if I can do something with showing how to Rewire FL into PT if I can find time.

    • @BenoniStudio
      @BenoniStudio  5 років тому

      You can't move the files anywhere else. Pro Tools will only look in the default location for plugins, which is on your OS drive. If you want to upgrade your OS drive, then yes, SSD makes a big difference.
      If you are talking about sample libraries, they can be on any drive (usually) and they will load faster if using an SSD.
