AI Recommendation
1 suggestionFabFilter Volcano 2 is a VST plugin component, not a standalone application, and is updated through the FabFilter installer — not the App Store or a generic vendor download page. FabFilter has shipped native Apple Silicon builds of its entire plugin suite since 2021, so the current native version is available now. To upgrade from your Intel copy to the native build: visit fabfilter.com, download the current FabFilter Total Bundle installer (or the Volcano 2 individual plugin installer if you do not own the bundle), and run the macOS installer on your Apple Silicon Mac. The installer will automatically detect your system architecture and install the native build. Your existing plugin licenses, presets and DAW host configurations will carry over without any manual migration — the native version reads the same settings directory. If you use a DAW with a native Apple Silicon build (such as Logic Pro, Studio One, Reaper, or Ableton Live with native support), you will see immediate performance improvements in CPU load and responsiveness when running the native Volcano 2.
