AI Recommendation
1 suggestionOX is a Universal Audio plugin and is updated through the UAD Connect application, not as a standalone download. To ensure you have a native Apple Silicon build, launch UAD Connect, sign in with your Avid/Universal Audio account, navigate to the Plugins or Library section, and check for available updates. Universal Audio has been shipping native Apple Silicon builds of their UADx plugins since 2022, so an updated version of OX should run natively on your M-series Mac. After updating through UAD Connect, restart your DAW to load the native plugin. If UAD Connect shows no pending update, your installed version may already be native — you can verify this by checking the plugin's architecture in your DAW's plugin manager or by opening Activity Monitor and filtering for the plugin process (it should show as arm64 rather than Intel).
