Hey! Just an update I recently got my first silicon MacBook! And I am looking to install some warez, can y’all share with me your favorite ARM releases (tested) and why they are your favorites? (Looking to expand my knowledge) (or names of the plug ins only, if we can’t link them on here) so I can start playing with them? :D I’d really appreciate it!!

 

Links to the devs are ok, to warez not so much.

 

Anything by Beepstreet, they're Apple Silicon only AUV3 plugins, meaning you get both iOS and Mac versions running those chips.

There might be k'd versions about somewhere, but I don't know really. But if you're running either kind of a system, have a look at Drambo, Zeeon, and Sunrizer. Fantastic synths, fantastic sounds.

Newer Native Instruments plugs are now M1 etc. compatible so Kontakt of course, but also their effects like Flair, Phasis, Dirt, Chorale, Bite etc. are fantastic. I like their instruments (either Reaktor or Reaktor-based), like Monark, Massive, Massive X and so on. Not everybody loves NI's stuff but I do.

What else... ValhallaDSP's whole catalogue is M1/M2 compatible, Arturia as well. Sonible/Focusrite I think and so on.

The release names usually mention the CPU support so look for those (or newer versions of the same).

 

Fabfilter, U-he, Valhalla, Toneboosters, ApulSoft, Devious Machines, Eventide & Newfangled Audio, Sound Radix, Neural DSP, Empirical Labs, Oeksound, Pulsar Audio, Pulsar Modular, Softube, Sonible, Tone Projects and probably many more have all their plug-ins running natively on Apple Silicon.
