would any VST plug ins work with pro tools m-powered essential? i know its extremely limited but its call i can get at the moment. im kind of new at this stuff so any help would be appreciated.
@volcomRiderr Hi, thanks for your question. You can use VST plugins with Pro Tools but you will need a VST wrapper. Pro Tools only works with RTAS plugins (plugin format). The wrapper let's Pro Tools think the VST plugin is an RTAS plugin allowing you to make full use of the effect in your sessions. Search for "VST wrapper for Pro Tools" on google and you'll get more info on how to install and use.
Hi Justin. Thanks for the vid post. I just purchased Pro Tools MP9 and I'm trying to use a .vst plug in that a friend designed. Do you know where to put this type of plug in for PT MP?
I tried to just place it into the plug-ins folder but PT didn't recognize it. Is an installer for .vst plugins required? Any suggestions?
hey idk if youll be able to help me with this but im running pro tools m powered 8 on windows 7 and my air plugins are nowhere to be found..any idea of what the issue might be? i would reinstall but for the longest time pro tools wouldnt install because it said it wasnt compatable with win 7 but somehow i got it to work and dont want to risk an attemped reinstall
@compact155 Hi, thanks for your question. Pro Tools SE is a somewhat limited in that you can't install third party plugins. To do so you can upgrade to Pro Tools MP. Now, in order to use VST plugins with Pro Tools you'll have to use a plugin wrapper. A quick google search of "pro tools vst wrapper" will turn up some results on where to download the wrapper. Hope this info helps.
@DANCINGBEAR100 Hi, thanks for tuning in. Once you install your plugins and launch Pro Tools click and hold on an insert within a channel strip and you'll get a drop menu of the plugin choices you have. Choose one and you can turn it on and off using the bypass button on the upper left hand side of the plugins. Hope this helps.
@jessemitten Head scratcher of the day this. It turned out for me that it wasn't in: User - Library - Application Support. It was in Mac HD - Library - Application Support. For anyone with this problem, try looking there.
@MrYrgMusic Hey thanks for the question, it depends on what version of Pro Tools you are using. If you are using M-powered, you will need an M-audio interface, in which case the fast track will work. If you are using LE 8 or an earlier version, you need an Mbox. With Pro Tools 9 you can use any interface, although you will need iLok. Let us know if this information helps.
I have a problem, i instaled a waves bundle, and all plugins are ".bundle" extension. I'm confused, it should be ".dpm", or not? I tried to rename th files but pro tools still can't read it.
I'm working with pro tools LE 7 in a mac G5 with powerpc processor.
Hey Justin. I got Pro Tools 8.0.4. on a windows 7 64 bit. I got Waves and i dont know how to install it. It keeps asking me for Waves Plugin folder. I go there and nothing. Im going crazy trying to figure this out! can you help me please? thank you.
@bkid900 Just found out,in case you sill need to know.Go to the c drive,(Local Disc)then program files,scroll down and find digidesign.For Plugons,go to the folder pro tools,and scroll down to plugins.
OK.. SO I HAVE AUTOTUNE .. BUT MY PROTOOLS 9 WONT READ IT.. #WTF IS GOIN ON!?... CAN ANYBODY HELP... I TRIED WHAT HE SAID IN THIS VIDEO.. BUT IT DONT WORK
@youngacedahoodstar Hmm not sure what may be causing the problem. Make sure you are running the most recent version of autotune to work with pro tools 9. Pro Tools may not be recognizing the plug in
i tried installing waves diamond 4.0.5; i get a message that the Waveshell-AudioUnits Utility could not find the waveshell-AU.component. what does that mean?
@down2earthrecords Hello for pro tools try installing the wavesshell-RTAS version. AU or audio units wont work with pro tools you need to RTAS version. Try installing that or making sure that is installed and let me know if it works.
Just bought PT9 for my Win7. Loaded it and opened PT, added a new instrument track and plug in's is greyed out? I'm so overwhelmed by all the documentation and I've looked through dozens of videos. This one from Justin answers one of my questions but I can't find the plugin folder for Win7 64bit PC?
i want to know can you #uninstall plug ins. because my structure free plug in do not work. when i open it on pro tool. the #graphic off it be mess up and i cant not see any thing on it . CAN SOME ONE HELP ME
@snreord yea go to avid.com to get the latest version i think its Le 8.4.. If you havent already found this. I had the same prob but structure is a good plug in that could use for sampling so dont do without because of a bug
@jazzyfosho7 think you. but every time i go on the download page i cant find the button to update it. i click on #download and #details but i keep showing me just detail about it. where do i have to click on to start the download.??
@ Hamlin. No what u have heard or should have heard is that your sample libraries, if the plug in uses a library at all should be on a second drive not the plug ins themselves.
I was told to put all your plug-ins and also your 3rd party plug-ins on a different hard drive. Rather than all of your plug-ins on C: drive. I have always wondered this myself.
@hamlin49036 Plug-ins always need to be in that folder so Pro Tools can use them, but most instruments' plug-ins come with big libraries that take lots of space on hard drive and it is always better to install this samples (Not a plug-in!) on different Hard Drive. If you need more help with that sand me a message.

down2earthrecords 1 year ago
@down2earthrecords Not sure why this is happening but usually the easiest fix is to update the plug ins to their latest version.
Give this a try and get back to me if it works out.
If not I will do some further research for you
