Maxim is a mastering-grade loudness maximizer plugin for Avid Pro Tools, delivered as an AAX audio plugin. It is designed to prevent digital clipping and protect against over-limiting while maintaining transparent loudness control, making it essential for mixing engineers, mastering professionals, and content creators working in Pro Tools. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionMaxim is a plugin component of Avid Pro Tools and cannot be updated independently—it is managed entirely through Avid's application and plugin ecosystem. To ensure you have the native Apple Silicon build of Maxim, first verify that Pro Tools itself is on version 2023.6 or newer (the first Pro Tools release with native Apple Silicon support). Launch Pro Tools, go to Help → About Pro Tools, and check your current version. If you are on an older build, update Pro Tools via the Avid Application Manager (the vendor's official update tool for Pro Tools and its bundled plugins). Once Pro Tools is on a current native build, all included plugins—including Maxim—will run natively on Apple Silicon. If you use third-party plugin managers or installers specific to Avid plugins, ensure those are also up to date through the Avid Application Manager. The native build will deliver noticeably better performance and lower CPU overhead on M-series Macs compared to running under Rosetta.
