DC Distortion is an AAX audio plugin (distortion and harmonic processing tool) for Avid Pro Tools and other compatible digital audio workstations. It allows mixing and mastering engineers to add harmonic saturation, distortion and tone-shaping effects to individual tracks or the master bus. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionDC Distortion is an AAX plugin, which means it runs inside Avid Pro Tools rather than as a standalone application. The native Apple Silicon build is available, and the key to getting it on your Mac is ensuring Pro Tools itself is on a current native build—Pro Tools 2023.6 or later ships with native Apple Silicon support and can load native AAX plugins. First, update Pro Tools to the latest version via Avid Application Manager (the official Avid update tool) or through Avid's web portal. Once Pro Tools is on a native build, the DC Distortion plugin will be loaded in its native form automatically when you launch Pro Tools and scan for plugins. If you are on an older Pro Tools build, upgrading to 2023.6 or later is the necessary prerequisite. After the Pro Tools update, launch the DAW, allow it to rescan and index your plugins, and DC Distortion will be available in native Apple Silicon form without any separate plugin installation steps.
