AI Recommendation
1 suggestionVC 2A ships natively as part of Native Instruments' Komplete Effects collection. To get the native Apple Silicon build, use Native Access, Native Instruments' official update and licensing manager. Open Native Access, sign in with your Native Instruments account, and check for updates to your Komplete or Komplete Effects library. The app will download and install the native version automatically. If you have not yet installed Native Access, download it from the Native Instruments website — it is the unified tool for managing all Native Instruments products and plugins on macOS. After updating through Native Access, your DAW may need to rescan its plugin folder (AU / VST / AAX) to recognise the newly installed native version; check your DAW's preferences under Plugins or Audio to refresh the cache. If your copy of VC 2A is an older Intel-only build, switching to the native version will improve performance and battery life during mixing sessions.
