AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of Impact exists and has been confirmed in use. To get the native version, update Pro Tools itself to version 2023.6 or later — Pro Tools 2023.6 introduced full native Apple Silicon support across the application and all bundled AAX plugins, including Impact. Use Avid Application Manager (the official Avid update tool) to upgrade Pro Tools; this will automatically pull the native build of Impact along with it. Simply launching Pro Tools and checking Help → About Pro Tools will show you your current version. If you are on an older Pro Tools release, open Avid Application Manager, locate Pro Tools in your installed applications, and select the latest available version to download and install. The native build will give you noticeably better performance, lower CPU load during mixing sessions, and improved battery life on M-series Macs compared to the Intel version running under Rosetta.
