FXpansion's VST to RTAS Adapter allows you to enable your VST effect and instruments plugins for use in Pro Tools. The Adapter uses negligible CPU power and provides a simple configuration tool which scans for VST plugins on your system and creates RTAS plugins from them. VST to RTAS Adapter is fully compatible with VST 2.3 effect and plugin instruments. Hence, you can use it as a VST to AAX wrapper or an AU to AAX wrapper. While we’re at it: you can also use Metaplugin to load VST plugins in Logic/LogicX (VST to AU wrapper). Check out our review of the DDMF Metaplugin.

Supported Pro Tools versions

• Pro Tools 7.x, 8.x (M-powered, LE and TDM systems)
• Pro Tools 9.x
• Pro Tools 10.x

Pro Tools 6.x users

It is possible to use v1.x of the adapter for Pro Tools 6.x. Purchasers of v2.x also receive access to v1.x.

VST to RTAS Adapter and Mac OSX 10.7 and 10.8

For the adapter to work in 10.7 and 10.8, it is necessary to set permissions on the /Library/Application Support folder so that it is possible to read and write its contents. If it is read-only (this is the default on 10.7 and 10.8), the adapter cannot function.

General compatibility

The current compatibility status of the adapter is that it works for VST2.3 plugins and many VST2.4 plugins.

In cases of incompatibility, it is possible for the plugin vendor to update their software for compatibility with the adapter with minimal effort. Openssl tool for mac.

The Adapter supports all VST2 features such as sample-accurate timing, parameter automation, automatic tempo synchronization, easy preset browsing and FXB/FXP support.

VST Support

All VST 2.3 plugins are supported, while many VST 2.4 plugins also function. In cases of incompatibility, it is possible for the plugin vendor to update their software for compatibility with the adapter with minimal effort.

The following situations are supported:

• 'OS X Carbon' and 'OS X Mach-O' VST plug-ins on OS X / PPC
• Windows VST plug-ins on Windows
• 'OS X Intel' plug-ins on OS X / x86.

The following situations are not supported:

• Mac OS 9 VST plugins - the VST plugins must be written for Windows XP (or later) for Windows operation or Mac OSX 10.4.x (or later) for Mac operation
• Mac PowerPC-only plugins (non-universal binary) on Macs with Intel CPUs
• Mac Intel-only plugins (non-universal binary) on PowerPC Macs

Important notes

• The Adapter cannot convert RTAS plugins to VST format
• The Adapter cannot allow you to use Windows plugins on a Mac
• The Adapter cannot allow you to use Mac plugins on a Windows PC

What is AAX and AU? What difference do they have with VSTs? In this article we will discuss the different plugins formats and their characteristics.

VST ( Virtual Studio Technology ) – Steinberg

This format, created in 1996 by Steinberg, is one of the most used type of plugins in the world of music production. These plugins usually work through the DAWs (Digital Audio Workstation), but recently more standalone plugins are used, which do not require any external interface. Most VST plugins are virtual instruments (VSTi), effects (VSTfx) or MIDI effects (such as arpegiators, transpose, etc.).

The VST format became famous for its versatility with MIDI controls and the possibility of mixing instruments and chain effects (chaining), in the style of analog racks. Steinberg’s commitment to converting the VST into a standard helped third-party companies to create new VSTs with freedom, most of them created for Windows – since OS X comes with its own AU (Audio Unit) architecture . The latest version of this format, VST 3.6.7, came out in March 2017. It includes the previous version of VST3 for Linux and development kits “Propietary Steinberg VST3” and “Open-Source GPLv3”. Some of the DAWs that accept VSTs :

• Ableton Live
• Audacity
• FL Studio
• Logic Pro
• Reason
• REAPER
• Steinberg Cubase

AU ( Audio Unit ) – Apple

Audio Units (AU) is the format created by Apple Inc. for the macOS and iOS. AUs are a set of application programming interface (API) services provided by the operating system to generate, process, receive or edit audio transmissions in real time with minimal latency. The AU format allows you to stretch the audio time of the file and the pitch scale, the conversion of the sample rate and the transmission through a local area network. It also comes with a set of AU add-ons like equalizer filters, dynamic processors, delay, reverb and an instrument – the Soundbank synthesizer.

This format is compatible with macOS and iOS and the programs you can use on them:

• GarageBand
• Logic Pro , X y Express
• Final Cut Pro
• Ableton Live
• REAPER
• Studio One

RTAS ( Real Time AudioSuite ) – Avid Technology

Vst To Aax Converter Free

Real-Time AudioSuite (RTAS) is an audio plug-in format developed by Digidesign, currently Avid Technology for its Pro Tools LE and Pro Tools M-Powered systems, although they can run on Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools TDM systems. The architecture of this format is designed to work in real time, mimicking the form of hardware in the traditional mixer.

RTAS add-ons use the processing power of the computer instead of the DSP cards used in Pro Tools HD systems and the TDM format. On April 7, 2013, Avid announced Pro Tools 11. As of this release, Avid has made of the AAX plugin the only format compatible with Pro Tools. At launch, many third-party add-on developers have not yet adapted their software to the new AAX format, so Avid will sell Pro Tools 11 with a license 11 and 10, which will allow users to run Pro Tools 10.3.8, which is the latest version that RTAS will support.

TDM (Time-division Multiplexing) – Avid Technology

TDM is a format for Pro Tools plugins that are installed on external hardware, such as dedicated DSP processors for ultra high precision and quality. TDM plugins are usually installed in large, high-quality studios equipped with dedicated processors, instead of having all the processing done by the computer’s CPU.

The TDMs are specifically designed to take advantage of the features and resources of Pro Tools HD systems. HD systems combine the high-end and full-featured version of Pro Tools software with specialized external hardware in the form of DSP cards. One of the main drawbacks of TDM plug-ins is their price. In addition to the cost of the plugins, you will also have to invest in a suitable system equipped with DSP. Traditionally, recording engineers and music producers were advised to go to TDM only if they could afford it. Otherwise, the RTAS plugins offered a more than viable alternative.

AAX (Avid Audio eXtension) – Avid Technology

AAX is a unified format, in which Avid wants to unite the characteristics of TDM and RTAS, which comes in 2 variations: AAX DSP, AAX Native. This format was introduced when Avid created a 64-bit version of Pro Tools, which meant that a format with 64-bit processing was necessary. With AAX, you can share sessions between Pro Tools systems accelerated by DSP and native Pro Tools systems and continue using the same plugins. The AAX is great investment in the future of music plugins, which will make the TDA and RTAS systems obsolete in the not so distant future.
