AI Recommendation
1 suggestionFocusrite d2 is an AAX plugin for Pro Tools, and native Apple Silicon support has been confirmed on Macs in our community. To use the native build, you need two things in place: first, Pro Tools itself must be updated to version 2023.6 or newer (the earliest native Apple Silicon build of Pro Tools), and second, the Focusrite d2 plugin must be updated through Avid's plugin management system. Launch Pro Tools and go to File > Plug-in Manager > Plug-in Locations to verify your Pro Tools recognises the native plugin path. If you are running an older version of Pro Tools, update Pro Tools first through Avid Application Manager — this ensures the AAX host is native and ready to load native plugins. Once Pro Tools is on a current native build, check the Avid website or Avid Application Manager for the latest Focusrite d2 plugin build; Avid handles plugin distribution for their ecosystem. Since a native build is already confirmed in use, simply ensure both Pro Tools and the plugin are fully up to date and you should be running natively on your M-series Mac.
