A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionTapeMachine80 is an AAX plugin for Pro Tools, not a standalone application, so it is updated through iKmultimedia's vendor installer rather than separately. A native Apple Silicon build of TapeMachine80 has been confirmed in the Rosetta Check community. To get the native version: visit iKmultimedia's website and download their current installer for TapeMachine80, which will deliver the native build on Apple Silicon Macs. Ensure your Pro Tools installation is also on a current native build (Pro Tools 2023.6 or newer) so the native plugin can run properly. After installing, authorise the plugin with your iKmultimedia account if required and rescan your plugin folder within Pro Tools to register the new native build.
