Please! Use things like "?" and "."
It's really hard to read your question.
Answer:
No I don't think you can do what r2r can't.

oh sorry
thanks for the answer

 

PS: That script does not make altered plugins work, it searches for plugins that might (!) work because they are keygened.
Any untouched/keygened AAX works.
Only patched plugins don't and there is nothing you can do about but make a cracked Pro Tools Ultimate.

 

Unfortunately, cracked plugins don’t work in Pro Tools because every time you open Pro Tools, it checks for the checksum of every plugin. A cracked plugin is always altered. The only plugins that work with PT legit are those with a Keygen. However, a lot of great plugins are keygened. Just avoid those that say “patched” if you want to run them natively in PT.

 

Change your DAW, my friend.

 

so i have a question lets say after the trial expires i will make a new account and install it again that will work ? or avid will block you from doing this thing like see you have the same ip or pc id.
and if they do this thing there is a way that i can use pro tools trial forever like using a vpn or virtual box ?

 

@EmanuelNine, no, that's usually not possible, because Pro Tools stores other identity information on your PC. How about this:

Avid „Pro Tools Intro - Free DAW - www.avid.com/pro-tools/intro

You can work with up to eight audio tracks, eight instrument tracks, and eight MIDI tracks in Pro Tools Intro—see the Pro Tools Comparison page for full details.

What plugins and instruments come with Pro Tools Intro?

Pro Tools Intro comes with Native Instruments Kontakt Player and sounds, as well as Native Instruments Kontakt Player and sounds, as well as Xpand!2—a powerful multitimbral virtual instrument workstation that offers everything from wavetables and FM synthesis to sample playback to create parts for any type of music.

Pro Tools also offers integration with Splice, including free access to over 2,500 loops and samples, plus you get the 2GB Avid Loopmasters Sample Pack. In addition to instruments and sounds, Pro Tools Intro comes with hundreds of high-quality loops from Loopmasters, plus 34 studio-essential plugins—from EQ and dynamics to reverb, delay, and guitar amp emulators.

 

thank you for your answer

 

Wasn't there a tool from Sugar Bytes to wrap vst plugins into aax format to use cracked plugins like legit ones?

Found it, R2R released it in 2013, release name: "Sugar.Bytes.TransVST.v1.0.MERRY.XMAS"
It was compatible with Pro Tools 10 & 11 but maybe it still works in current versions because
back in 2013 there was no further version than v11 to try it on.

Since I don't use Pro Tools, I'm not able to test it.

 

Nah.
K'd plugins natively - Keygen.
K'd plugins patched - Blue Cat Patchwork.

 

Just use Blue Cats for your cracked plugins that don't work, I have legit 2025.6 and it works just fine with Blue Cats....problem solved

 

Why should I use Pro Tools when I have Magix Sequoia and it works? I have something much better.

people are unaware of what they have

 

What is the point of your comment?....the op was asking about a PT crack, not about Sequoia

 

Blue Cats works as good as the normal method, at least for me, I'm on 2025.6, or you can just use 2021.7 PT and get the R2R AAX crack, that's your only two options

 

That way you could learn how to use Protools. If you already knew it, you'd never need to ask this question.

 

For plugins that you don't own and want to use in Pro Tools, you can either use Komplete Kontrol and/ or Waves Studio Verse (There's two by Waves, one for effects and one for instruments).

All of them are free to use.

I like Waves StudioVerse more personally so I can look through mixing engineer presets directly from the Studio Verse app button (I only have the Platinum bundle, but I install the Mercury bundle to see how the preset sounds, then switch the plugins around to something I own).

Hope this helps.
