AmpliTube 4
AmpliTube 4 is an AAX audio plugin for Avid Pro Tools that provides guitar and bass tone modeling and amp simulation. It captures the sound and behavior of over 400 guitar and bass amplifiers, effects pedals, cabinets, microphones and studio gear from iconic brands like Fender, Mesa/Boogie, Orange and others. Musicians and audio engineers use AmpliTube 4 as a plugin within Pro Tools to shape electric guitar and bass tones during recording and mixing. The plugin also works as a standalone application outside of Pro Tools and in other compatible DAWs.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAmpliTube 4 is an AAX plugin component that runs inside Avid Pro Tools, not as a standalone app. According to available architecture information, the AmpliTube 4 plugin you have is currently Intel-only (x86-64) and does not yet have a native Apple Silicon build. To use AmpliTube 4 on an Apple silicon Mac, you have two options: First, confirm that Pro Tools itself is running on a current native build (Pro Tools 2023.6 or newer); IK Multimedia may have released a native Apple Silicon version of the AmpliTube 4 AAX plugin that will only load into the native Pro Tools. Check the IK Multimedia support site or contact their sales team to confirm whether a native AAX version is available and, if so, download and install it via IK's installer or plugin management tools. Second, if no native version has been released yet, your current Intel plugin will continue to work under Rosetta 2 as long as Pro Tools itself is native — Pro Tools 2023.6 and later can load Intel AAX plugins through compatibility layers. However, Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so an Intel-only AmpliTube 4 AAX plugin will stop functioning at that point. Contact IK Multimedia now to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned before that deadline.
