BR / FR: Support DPI scaling in Pro Tools 2026.11

Audio Plugins

Yesterday’s release of Pro Tools 2026.11 added support for DPI scaling on Windows, but full support for plug-ins requires the use of AAX SDK 2.10.

They have added the ability to auto-scale plug-in windows, but all of our JUCE-based plug-ins are having a really hard time! Luckily the auto-scaling can be disabled for a plug-in window and a plug-in’s own in-built scaling options used to compensate, so we have a workaround for customers for now.

I’ve patched it in our local fork of JUCE using the following in the JuceAAX_GUI class:

      #if AAX_SDK_2p10p0_REVISION
        AAX_Result UpdateScalingFactor ([[maybe_unused]] IACFUnknown* inViewContainer, float inScalingFactor) override
        {
            if (component)
            {
                if (auto* peer = component->getPeer())
                    peer->setCustomPlatformScaleFactor (inScalingFactor);

                return AAX_SUCCESS;
            }

            return AAX_ERROR_NULL_OBJECT;
        }
      #endif // AAX_SDK_2p10p0_REVISION
