    What do I need to know before installing cracked plug-ins onto a Ventura running, M2 Mac?

    These plug-ins will be for a legit copy of Pro Tools - is that even possible?

    You can use Blue Cat's PatchWork to use the plugins you want.
    Cracked versions of waves, baby audio, Arturia and overloud works fine with Legit PT

    thank you, does your answer mean that cracked VSTs through Blue Cat DO work on legit PT?

    I'm hoping to install Neutron 4...

    Yes they will all work via a wrapper like Blue Cat.
    You should also look into Crossover and or Wineskin for some Windows only files !...
    AFAIK, Neutron is Izotope and that means that AAX is usually untouched -> working on legit PT...

    if an AAX plugin is modified in any way, it will not work in legit ProTools

    Also there's a chance that windows keygens will work with the Mac equivalent via crossover etc.

    Buy a license for Little Snitch to block outgoing traffic of plugins!

    I agree Little Snitch before you install anything and take the time to learn it.
