AI Recommendation
1 suggestionBlack Op Distortion is an AAX plugin that ships as part of Avid's ecosystem and is updated through Avid's own update mechanism, not separately. To get the native Apple Silicon build, ensure that Pro Tools itself is running a native-compatible version (Pro Tools 2023.6 or later supports native AAX plugins on Apple Silicon). Then update Black Op Distortion through Avid Application Manager: open Avid Application Manager, sign in with your Avid account, and check for updates to your installed plugins and Pro Tools. The manager will automatically download and install the native build when available. If you use iLok authorization, ensure your iLok License Manager is also up to date. After the update completes, restart Pro Tools and the native version of Black Op Distortion will be active — you should see improved performance and lower CPU usage compared to the Rosetta-translated Intel build.
