Even the RTAS format is falling victim to progress and it will not be supported in Pro Tools 11, the current release at time of publication.
The move to 64-bit processing engines is rendering many 32-bit plug-ins obsolete across every platform. The Future of Plug-In SupportĪs with many contemporary DAWs, Avid is constantly refining and updating the performance and features of its Pro Tools software. This is a problem with the plug-in itself, so contact the vendor of the plug-in to see about solutions. Some VST plug-ins using VST version 2.4 may not work with the FXpansion adapter and Pro Tools. Requiring very little in the way of CPU resources, plug-ins used with this adapter appear as RTAS plug-ins when you're working in Pro Tools.
VST to RTAS Adapter 2.1, from FXpansion, allows seamless VST integration into Pro Tools. The previous solutions are, at best, work-arounds with the Pro Tools program itself. Indirectly, VST plug-ins in the other application are now working with Pro Tools. The ReWire application now runs in sync with Pro Tools. An application that supports ReWire can be loaded into an audio track in Pro Tools using an insert slot through the multi-channel plug-in selection from the insert menu. ReWire itself doesn't host VST plug-ins, but it allows programs that support both VST and ReWire to share audio with versions of Pro Tools that support ReWire. ReWire is a system for transferring audio between applications, developed by Propellerhead Software. This additional processing may cause latency delay on the resulting audio track, but it can be corrected by dragging the audio into place or entering a time offset.
