AI Recommendation
1 suggestionProExpander is an AAX plugin for Pro Tools, not a standalone app, so it updates through Avid's ecosystem rather than as an independent download. A native Apple Silicon build of ProExpander has been confirmed in the wild. To upgrade from the Intel version to the native build, use Avid Application Manager (Avid's official plugin and software installer). If you do not already have it installed, download it from Avid's website. Open Avid Application Manager, locate ProExpander in the plugin list, and install or update it to the latest version — the manager will automatically serve the native build if your Mac is running an M-series processor. Pro Tools itself must also be running a current native build (2023.6 or later) for AAX plugins to work properly, so ensure Pro Tools is also up to date through Avid Application Manager. After both Pro Tools and ProExpander are updated, restart Pro Tools and the native plugin will be ready to use.
