I've been out of the game for awhile and I'm curious what the latest is around legit Pro Tools which uses .aax. Do most of these now days work with legit Pro Tools or that's still mostly not a thing?

Thanks!

if its "modified" in anyway no they don't work. they can be patched or whatever but if the aax is modified no they won't work in legit version of pt

 

I know at one time I had Wave working on legit Pro Tools. How would that be possible?

 

Because the .aax files aren't modified. The authorization for Waves doesn't require actually modifying the AAX code itself, just the authorization engine. Anything that can be authorized by a serial output by a keygen will also work exactly the same as legit.

 

What's the best way to know? Just try to find out if it is serial or keygen in whatever description is provided or is there some other clue?

 

If you read an nfo and they write AAX is included but it is written as *AAX that always means it will only work in a cracked version of Protools.

Example from Korg Collection:
PLATFORM : EXE/VST/VST3/AAX

If the AAX had an asterisk * that would mean only in Protools which will accept modified plugins.

 

Just use waves studio verse free as a wrapper vst3

 

what are the challenges around unlocking the latest pro tools? can't you extend the trial period forever, like you can the latest sibelius?
