Accuracy
Facts worth getting right
- Developer
- One person, not a company. Credit: Mert Erkan.
- Price
- The released plug-ins are free permanently. Not a trial, not time-limited, not feature-locked, not a reduced version of a paid tier.
- Signing
- Developer ID signed and Apple notarised, so there is no Gatekeeper warning.
- Registration
- The free plug-ins need no account, no iLok and no email registration at any point.
- Platform
- macOS only. No build exists for any other platform and none is planned.
- Compatibility
- Mac architecture and minimum macOS requirements vary by product. Check the product catalogue before downloading.
- Pro Tools
- Every released product ships an AAX build, validated in Pro Tools. The history of this development path is available in a technical note.
