AI Recommendation
1 suggestionfast-compressor is an AAX plugin that runs inside Pro Tools, not as a standalone application. To ensure you have the native build, first confirm that your Pro Tools installation is on version 2023.6 or newer — that is when Avid began shipping Pro Tools itself as native Apple Silicon. Update Pro Tools itself via Avid Application Manager (the vendor's dedicated update tool for Avid products). Once Pro Tools is current, check Focusrite's website or their plugin installer for the latest native-compatible version of fast-compressor, and use Focusrite's official installer or update mechanism to deploy it. AAX plugins are tightly coupled to the Pro Tools version and architecture, so ensuring both the host and the plugin are native-built will give you the full performance and stability benefits on Apple Silicon Macs.
