AI Recommendation
1 suggestionBlack Shiny Wah is an AAX plugin for Pro Tools, and its native Apple Silicon build is managed through Avid's update system. Since a native version has been confirmed in use, you have two paths to ensure you are running the native build: first, make sure Pro Tools itself is on a current native-compatible version (Pro Tools 2023.6 or newer supports native AAX plugins), then update through Avid Application Manager or your Pro Tools plugin manager to pull the native version of Black Shiny Wah. If you are using an older version of Pro Tools, upgrade Pro Tools first — that is the prerequisite for the native AAX plugin to function. Avid Application Manager is the recommended channel for managing both Pro Tools and its compatible plugins, ensuring they stay in sync. Once both are current, the native plugin will run natively on Apple Silicon Macs without Rosetta 2, delivering better performance and lower latency.
