AI Recommendation
1 suggestionFocusrite d3 is a Pro Tools AAX plugin, so it updates as part of Pro Tools itself rather than as a separate application. To get the native Apple Silicon build, ensure Pro Tools is updated to version 2023.6 or later — Avid shipped native Apple Silicon support for Pro Tools and its bundled AAX plugins from that release onwards. Launch Pro Tools, go to Help → Check for Updates, and install the latest version your subscription allows. If you are on an older Pro Tools version, download the current installer from Avid's website or use the Avid Application Manager to pull the latest build. After Pro Tools updates to a native build, the Focusrite d3 plugin will automatically run natively alongside it — no separate plugin installation is needed. This will give you better performance and battery life compared to running the plugin under Rosetta.
