Guitar Rig 6 is a professional multi-effects rack and amp simulator from Native Instruments, widely used by guitarists, bass players, and audio engineers for tone design and real-time audio processing. It features a modular signal-flow interface where users can chain virtual amps, effects pedals, and studio processors to create custom sounds, from subtle tone shaping to extreme distortion and experimental textures. Guitar Rig 6 runs as an AAX plugin inside Avid Pro Tools and other professional audio workstations, and is a core component of Native Instruments' Komplete production suite. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionGuitar Rig 6 ships a native Apple Silicon build that runs natively inside Pro Tools on M-series Macs. To upgrade from the Intel version to the native build, use Native Instruments' own update channel: open Native Access (the Native Instruments software installer and license manager) on your Mac, search for Guitar Rig 6, and download the current version through that tool. Native Access will automatically serve the native Apple Silicon build on M-series Macs; you do not need to take any special steps or change any settings. After installation, the native AAX plugin will integrate directly into Pro Tools' plugin browser, and your existing presets and settings will carry over without any manual migration. Make sure your Pro Tools installation is also on a recent native build (version 2023.6 or newer) to ensure full compatibility with native AAX plugins.
