System Requirements
SoundToys Native Effects is a collection of virtual effects processors that
‘plug in’ to your favorite audio editing and mixing software application. In
order to use SoundToys Native Effects you must have an audio application
that supports the loading of “plug-ins” in one of the plug-in formats that we
support: VST, Audio Units (AU), RTAS, and AudioSuite.
We actively support the following applications: Pro Tools, Logic Audio,
Nuendo, Cubase, Live and Digital Performer. We will typically test our plug-
ins with the latest version of each of these applications. Older versions and
other hosts
may
work, but we cannot guarantee it. Please check the
support page on our website for the most up to date compatibility info.
For a computer, we highly recommend as fast a computer as possible. An
Intel P4 (or better ) based PC running Windows XP or later, or a Mac G5 or
later running OS 10.4 or later.
