AI Recommendation
1 suggestionVC 160 is a VST plugin component from Native Instruments and is updated through Native Instruments' own installer and licence management system, not separately through the App Store or a generic download. Native Instruments has confirmed that VC 160 (as part of the Vintage Compressors in the Komplete Effects suite) ships with native Apple Silicon support. To ensure you have the native build, use Native Instruments' Native Access application — the centralised installer and manager for all Native Instruments products and plugins. Open Native Access, verify that VC 160 is installed, and check for available updates; install any pending update to get the native Apple Silicon version. After updating, restart your DAW and VC 160 will load natively. If you do not yet have Native Access installed, download it from Native Instruments' site and use it to manage all your NI plugins and instruments going forward.
