AI Recommendation
1 suggestionOzone 8 Vintage EQ is an audio plugin that cannot be updated separately from iZotope's host products and plugin manager. To get a native Apple Silicon build, open iZotope Product Portal on your Mac — this is iZotope's official installer and update manager for all their audio plugins. Product Portal will scan your system, identify your installed iZotope plugins, and offer native Apple Silicon versions where available. iZotope has been shipping native builds of most Ozone plugins for several years, so updating through Product Portal should deliver the native version automatically. If you installed Ozone 8 Vintage EQ as part of a larger iZotope suite or bundle, ensure all of iZotope's products are installed and updated via Product Portal rather than trying to update individual plugins in isolation. Once the native build is installed, remove any old Intel-only copy from your Audio Units folders (typically ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components) to avoid confusion.
