    Hi everyone!!!
    I've bought PT 2020 and when i load a session a message says that all my aax are not valid.
    My question is: there is a way to read illegit aax in legit PT?
    not bluecat because some plugins automations are not possible.
    Thx :)

    We already discussed this topic many times. Search function should have got you to the answer.

    Nevertheless, the answer is: it Depends.
    There are k'ed aax plugins around that work in legit pro tools - the ones where they clearly state that the Binaries remain untouched and therefore it works in legit pt.
    The ones you are trying to get to work seem to be AAX (modified) which means that the aax had to be patched in Order to crack it and therefore it is getting blacklisted.
    Afaik there is no way around; you have to use a k'ed Host (pro tools) to make them work.

    Go either legit or k'ed but Mixing it up will only work with very few plugins

    If this is the route you want to go, you may want to use something like Blue Cats Patchwork and host VST plugins.

    There are plenty of [k]'ed plugins that work in a legit install of PT. You might say good-bye to Fab Filter, but you welcome Acon instead. All Waves, all JST, Melda Production, the few Acqua plugins, SugarBytes, etc. Isn't there a listing here of all working AAX plugins?

    isn't there a way to prevent pro tools from checking if plugins are legit or not?

    It would be great to have a list (working in sonoma)
    Sister site provides lots of good stuff, but am confused by MORiA's releases supposed to be working in pro tools, but that dont in my case.
    Somehow There is something am doing wrong, but it would be great to understand

    We need a new k'd Pro Tools, the AU has been around since 2016, nothing else since then and it became obsolete even with newer k'd plugins like Melodyne that can support only up to v5.2, same with iZotope RX 11 i believe... And many more are cutting support for old versions of PT anyway.

    Arturia, overloud, noiseAsh, Waves, and many others are working in PT (before sonoma) so what's the point ?
    How comes blue cat, studio rack can make VST work in PT, but cracks cant ? Moria's releases claim to be working in protools,
    but till today none works for me..

    2021.7 was the last build where a cracked AAX worked with it. But you had to own it legitimately for it to mean anything. At that time period, you could've opted for a PT1st account and cracked the demo for full retail but those options are no longer available. The best thing you can do is patchwork for things that dont work or look for a newer version of the plugins you are using and hope for the best or install 12.5 side by side and do dual sessions for the plugins you need.

    Why are you spamming the forum with this? Do you not think if it could be done, then there would have been a release already?

    There's already a work around, it's called buying the legit plugins. If you really don't want to do this, then you can instead use one of the many other available DAWs that all work without issue.

    I’m a legit Protools user and ended buying fabfilter suite. If you don’t like this way or you simply cannot afford it switch your DAW to someone that doesn’t use AAX or use an alternative to fabfilter.

    Which Arturia release are you using? I have the Arturia stuff and it works everywhere but Pro Tools.

    Last release I found in sister site.
    Just delete the 4 first lines of the crack, save and exit. And follow instructions.
    It should work fine

    In response to your comment about Moria's releases - for years I had the same issue. One day I PMed them and they were nice enough to get back to me with some more detailed instructions in regards to aax / pro tools specifically. Upon following them, all their releases have worked perfectly/successfully validated in legit pro tools. Ill explain further below but its worth nothing these instructions are intended for iZoptope plugins. I have not tried them on releases by Moria claming to contain AAX for other manufacturers

    For all current iZotope plugins:
    1: run the official installer, which can be downloaded from their website for free as a trial
    NOTE: make sure the official install is the same version as the release. If the release is for an older version, in most cases it can still be obtained simply by changing the numbers in the trial download url to the version you wish to download instead
    2: after installing, make a temp folder somewhere handy on your machine (desktop / downloads etc)
    3: go to your aax plugins folder & copy all the .aax plugins you just installed. paste them in that folder you just created
    4: run Moria's patcher / installer. (if both are present in the release, run only the patcher)
    5: drag all the .aax plugins you copied, from your temp folder back to your aax plugins folder. you should be asked if youd like to replace the existing ones. confirm
    6: restart machine. launch pro tools. enjoy

    For legacy iZotope plugins (mostly older discontinued ones such as Mobius Filter)
    1: run the official install
    2: the release likely contains loose plugins in a folder named "K'd" or something similar. copy the .bundle from within the Kd audio unit. (right click -> show package contents Contents/Resources/iZMobiusFilter.bundle for example)
    3: paste the .bundle in your aax plugins folder alongside the official install (do not replace the .bundle inside the aax. the aax must remain unmodified. just paste it loose in your main directory)
    4: reboot & enjoy. plugin will be registered.
    dunno why this works but it does! great news as izotope refuses to give out downloads, even to those that previously purchased it. This saved the day on some old sessions for me

    Verified aax working: Neutron 5, Neutron 4, Neutron 3, Insight 2, Tonal Balance Control 2, Aurora, Nectar 3, Nectar 4, Neoverb, DDLY, Mobius Filter, Dialogue Match, Loudness Control, Ozone 9, Ozone 10, Ozone 11, Trash, Trash 2, Plasma, RX8, RX10, RX11, Vocal Synth 2
    M1 Max, PT 2022, Monterey

    Just saw your message.
    Lucky you if you had an answer from MORiA. Their releases are so wooooow !!!!
    Izotops works fine. Just downloaded and followed their instructions.
    But for exemple, IK Multimedia T-Racks 6, is mentioned like "VST, VST3, *AAX", but the hell doesn't work in PT (It does in Logic).
    If you have any solution, I'd be so thankful !

    There is a serious workaround to this. It's called Protools.12.5.HD.audio.utopia. I have yet to find a needed plugin that doesn't work with it.
