AS-Rack
AS-Rack is an Audio Unit (AU) plugin for macOS that provides virtual hardware rack simulation and effects processing. It is designed to work within compatible host applications such as DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations), audio editors, and music production software that support the AU plugin format. Users integrate AS-Rack into their audio workflow by loading it as an insert or auxiliary plugin within their host application.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAS-Rack is an Audio Unit plugin, not a standalone application, so it cannot be updated independently. To get a native Apple Silicon build of AS-Rack, you must update it through the vendor's own installer or update mechanism. Visit the As-Rack vendor website to download the latest version and installer for macOS — this will install or update the plugin in your system's Audio Unit directories. After installation, the plugin will be available in any compatible host application (Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, GarageBand, etc.) that you launch. If you use a host that manages plugins through its own plugin manager (for example, Pro Tools has a plugin marketplace), check whether As-Rack is available there as well. As-Rack must have a native Apple Silicon build before late 2027, when Apple removes Rosetta 2 from macOS 28; if the vendor has not yet shipped a native version, contact them to confirm their migration timeline.
