AI Recommendation
1 suggestioniZotope Iris 2 is an AAX plugin component that runs inside Pro Tools, not a standalone application. To ensure it runs natively on Apple Silicon, you must have two things: Pro Tools itself must be on a current native build (Pro Tools 2023.6 or newer), and the Iris 2 plugin must be updated to a native version. Update Iris 2 through the iZotope Product Portal, iZotope's official plugin manager — visit izotope.com, sign in with your account, and download the latest Iris 2 installer through the portal. This will replace your existing AAX version with the native Apple Silicon build. If you are still running an older version of Pro Tools (pre-2023.6), update Pro Tools first through Avid Application Manager; Pro Tools 2024.3 and later ship with native support for AAX plugins including Iris 2. Once both Pro Tools and Iris 2 are on current native builds, you will see better performance and lower CPU usage. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028), confirm both your DAW and your plugins are native before that deadline to ensure they continue working.
