Hi all,

i can easily make something work as a au pligin but not aax.

i have got a dev version of protools and the plugin seems to compile, ive tried downloading an older aax example but still have no luck.

does anyone have any advice as to what I’m doing wrong

thanks in advance
Tom

AAX is special in that it requires to be codesigned with PACE.

In order to actually start developing for AAX/Pro Tools, you need to request Avid for proper licenses for development and distribution:

AFAIK when you have a development version Pro Tools from Avid, you can build and run AAX without code-signing in that dev Pro Tools. Some suggestions:

  • keep in mind that Pro Tools only accept mono side-chain
  • run AU plugin with pluginval to find potential bugs

There are two different dev builds for arm64 and Intel. Make sure your debug build matches the dev build you’re using.
