AI Recommendation
1 suggestionsmartEQ3 is an AAX plugin for Pro Tools, so it requires Pro Tools itself to be on a current native build (Pro Tools 2023.6 or newer) in order to run natively. First, ensure Pro Tools is updated to the latest version via Avid Application Manager — this is essential because older Pro Tools releases do not load arm64 plugins. Once Pro Tools is updated, visit Sonible's website to download and install the latest version of smartEQ3; Sonible typically ships native Apple Silicon builds through their own installer or download portal. If you have the Pro Tools version and smartEQ3 version are both current, the plugin should load as a native arm64 binary automatically — no special settings or beta channels are required. If the plugin still appears to be running under Rosetta after both Pro Tools and smartEQ3 are fully updated, contact Sonible support to confirm that your installed smartEQ3 build includes the native arm64 variant.
