Where are my plugins in Pro Tools First?

As you can see, I have a very limited amount of plugins available here.

The RTAS plugin format was implemented in the Pro Tools series by Digidesign up to Pro Tools 10. Many plugin manufacturers developed RTAS versions of their plugins for the sake of compatibility with the Pro Tools series of DAWs. RTAS plugins can only be used within Pro Tools (up to version 10 only). TDM (Time-division Multiplexing). Avid Pro Tools with 1-Year of Updates + Support Plan - Perpetual License DAW Software with 128 Audio Tracks, 512 Instrument Tracks, 1,024 MIDI Tracks, Track Commit/Freeze, Improved Waveform Visualization, Layered Editing, Batch Fade Enhancements, Real-time Fade Manipulation, Cloud Collaboration, 1 Year of Software Updates, Technical Support, and MacOS Mojave Compatibility - Mac/PC AAX Native.

If you can't load your Waves plugins in Pro Tools, follow the relevant instructions for your version of Pro Tools to make the plugins available. 3758b9b5-045c-4b7d-b020-80f9b068d990 07:10 AM EST.
Re: A way to use your VST's in Pro Tools 11 Legit, and Stable! Reaper's rewire is only useful for VST Instruments though, if you want VST EFFECTS, you need to get audio into Pro Tools somehow. VePro5 is the only external bit of software that does so, and even that has a limited number of return busses.
Here you will see two folders - “Plug-Ins” and “Plug-Ins (Unused)”. All UAD plug-ins are installed to the “Plug-Ins” folder by default. To hide certain plug-ins from Pro Tools, simply move the plug-in to the 'Plug-Ins (Unused)' folder. The next time you open Pro Tools, only the plug-ins remaining in the “Plug-Ins” folder will.

But, if I open the full version of Pro Tools, you’ll see I have access to all of the plugins that I own.

So why can’t I use all of my plugins in Pro Tools First?

The reason is, Pro Tools First ONLY supports plugins that are included with it, or purchased from within the Avid Marketplace, or your Avid Account.

This means you CAN NOT buy plugins directly from Waves.com, AudioDeluxe, Sweetwater, etc… and use them in PT First. You could however use them in the full version of Pro Tools.

What about VSTs?

Well, no version of Pro Tools supports the VST format. ALL versions of Pro Tools only use the AAX format for plugins.

Interestingly, the location for all of your AAX plugins will be the same for all Avid Products.

Meaning, the full version or Pro Tools, Pro Tools First, and even Media Composer, all look for AAX plugins in the same location.

However, Pro Tools First CANNOT use these plugins unless they were purchased through the Avid Marketplace.

Pro Tools First is a feature reduced free version of Pro Tools, you can think of it like a ‘Feemium’ app.

You can use basic features for free, but if you want add-ons you have to buy those individually, directly from the app maker.

Install Vst In Pro Tools

I couldn’t buy more features for InShot from Adobe for example, or vice versa.

If you like what you see and want more features, you would then purchase a license for the full version and unlock, currently, about 115 included plugins, hundreds of advanced features, and of course the ability to use any thrid-party AAX plugins, no matter where they are purchased from.

So, that’s why you cant find your plugins in Pro Tools First.

They must be included with the software, or purchased from the Avid Marketplace.
