VC 2A is a vintage compressor audio plugin by Native Instruments, modeled on the classic Teletronix LA-2A optical compressor. It is used by audio engineers, producers and mixing professionals working in Pro Tools and other DAWs. The plugin emulates the smooth, musical compression characteristics of the hardware original and is part of Native Instruments' Vintage Compressors series. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionVC 2A has a confirmed native Apple Silicon build available. Since this is an AAX plugin for Pro Tools, the update process depends on how you manage Native Instruments products. If you use Native Access (Native Instruments' plugin manager), launch the app, locate VC 2A in your library, and click the download button next to it — Native Access will automatically serve the native build on Apple Silicon Macs. If you installed VC 2A directly from the vendor's installer, revisit native-instruments.com and download the current installer package; it will also detect your Mac's architecture and provide the native build. Additionally, ensure your Pro Tools installation is current (version 2023.6 or later), as Pro Tools itself must ship natively for AAX plugins to run natively on Apple Silicon. After updating both the plugin and the host, you will see noticeably lower CPU usage and better performance during mixing sessions.
