Windows and Mac support for VSTs
No matter where you install your VST plug-ins, always make sure that this location is defined as a VST folder in your sequencer so it can load the plug-ins. For more information on this, refer to the manual of your sequencer. RTAS / AAX Plug-Ins The RTAS /AAX path is fixed for all applications and cannot be changed. Voxengo vst plugins. RTAS plugins can only be used in the ProTools system. More on RTAS on Wikipedia. TDM (Time-division Multiplexing) – a version of ProTools plugins which are installed on outboard hardware such as dedicated DSP Processors for ultra-high precision and quality.
When downloading VST plugins, you will need to take note if the plugin supports your operation system. While the VST format is cross platform not all plugin developers compile their plugins to support both platforms. This is especially true for free plugins. You do not have to worry about this for Audio Units as the format is Mac only. And I have rarely come across AAX and RTAS plugins that do not support both platforms.
32-bit and 64-bit Plugins
You have probably come across some description of your digital audio workstation being 64-bit or 32-bit. This has nothing to do with digital audio bit depth such as 16-bit or 24-bit audio. This refers to the number of bits that computer processors, operating systems and applications do their calculations with. The latest versions of most DAWs are 64-bit only (Logic Pro X, Pro Tools 11) or ship with installers for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions (Ableton Live 9).
Other differences aside, a 64-bit digital audio workstation is only able to load 64-bit plugins and 32-bit digital audio workstation are only able to load 32-bit plugins. Before purchasing your plugins, make sure that the plugin is compatible with your digital audio workstation of choice. If majority of your plugins are 32-bit only, you might want to stick to using a 32-bit version of your digital audio workstation.
