Spacer
Spacer is an AAX audio plugin developed by Spectralplugins for use in Avid Pro Tools. It provides spatial audio processing and effects designed to work within the Pro Tools digital audio workstation. As an AAX plugin, it integrates directly into Pro Tools' mixing environment and is updated through the plugin vendor's distribution channels rather than as a standalone application.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSpacer is an AAX plugin for Pro Tools, not a standalone app, so it must be updated through Spectralplugins' own installer or distribution channel rather than through the App Store or a generic download. To ensure you have a native Apple Silicon version compatible with Pro Tools: first, verify that Pro Tools itself is on a current native build (version 2023.6 or later, which is when Avid's native Apple Silicon support became standard); then visit Spectralplugins' website to download and run their latest plugin installer, which will place the native AAX build in Pro Tools' plugin folder. If you are still running an older Intel-only build of Pro Tools, update Pro Tools first — you cannot use new plugins effectively on outdated host software. Contact Spectralplugins directly if you are unsure whether the latest Spacer installer includes a native Apple Silicon build, or check their release notes. Pro Tools native builds will stop accepting Intel-only AAX plugins after Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so confirming native plugin support is important if you plan to keep using this plugin long-term.
