Neil Gilmartin Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Hi everyone. As a Logic Pro X user, if given the choice is it advisable to select AU/AAX or VST/VST3 for 3rd party plug-in downloads? More generally, what's the difference? Thanks, Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution des99 Posted July 27, 2022 Solution Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Logic only supports AU, so you can choose not to install any of the other formats if you're only using Logic. AU is the Mac system standard audio plugin format. AAX is ProTool's own proprietary plugin format. VST(2) and VST3 are Steinberg's proprietary plugin format, which are the unofficial standard on the PC platform, and are used by Steinberg software on the Mac.
