Avid AudioSuite Plug-Ins
Your Avid editing application supports AudioSuite, the Avid host-based, file-based plug-in
specification. Users have access to mono and stereo audio-processing plug-ins developed by
Avid and by Avid third-party developers. These plug-ins perform pitch modifications, artifact
removal, audio reversal, and many other processes.
Avid qualifies a broad range of the AudioSuite plug-ins manufactured by Avid for use with the
current version of your Avid editing application. This includes all AudioSuite plug-ins in the
DigiRack and Bomb Factory plug-ins series.
Avid supports other AudioSuite plug-ins that do not install with your Avid editing application.
You can use these plug-ins on a trial basis and then purchase them through Avid. These plug-ins
have their own detailed documentation.
For information on Avid and third-party plug-ins, go to the Avid Web site at www.avid.com.
For information on plug-ins that are not supported by your Avid editing application, see
“AudioSuite Plug-in Limitations” on page 935.
AudioSuite Plug-Ins Installation
The installer for your Avid editing application automatically creates a Plug-Ins folder that stores
AudioSuite plugins in the following location:
(Windows) drive:\Program Files\Common Files\DSM\DAE
(Macintosh) Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/DSM
Your Avid editing application automatically installs a set of core plug-ins. When you purchase
additional plug-ins, the third-party vendor provides instructions on how to load the plug-ins.
c
Your Avid editing application requires the files in the Plug-Ins folder named
AvidAppPlugIn.dpm and AvidAppPlugIn.dpm.rsr (Windows) or Avid_Application_PlugIn
(Macintosh). Do not delete them.
n
AudioSuite Plug-ins supported by Avid appear in the Plug-In Selection menu in the AudioSuite
window.
