FabFilter Micro is a lightweight, professional audio filter plugin available in AAX format for use as a plugin host such as Avid Pro Tools. It features a single high-quality analog-sounding filter with low-pass and high-pass shapes, envelope follower modulation, input and output gain controls for saturation effects, and an interactive filter display. Micro is designed for basic filtering tasks and subtle analog saturation, serving mixing engineers, producers, and audio post-production professionals who need a streamlined alternative to more feature-rich filter plugins. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionFabFilter Micro has shipped in native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) format for several years. To get the native AAX build running in Pro Tools, visit fabfilter.com, download the current Micro installer, and run it — the installer will automatically place the native AAX plugin in the correct Pro Tools plugin folder. After installation, relaunch Pro Tools and the native build will load automatically. Ensure your copy of Pro Tools itself is also running natively (Pro Tools 2023.6 or later); older Intel-only Pro Tools versions cannot load native AAX plugins even if the plugin binary itself is universal. You should see noticeably better performance, lower CPU usage and faster response times compared to the Intel version running under Rosetta 2.
