How do I use RTAS plug-ins in Digital Performer?
RTAS plug-ins have certain rules for how they must be used (these rules are the same as in Pro Tools).
To use RTAS plug-ins, you must:
- Run Digital Performer 4.5 or higher
- Use DAE as the Audio System (you must have a Digidesign TDM [Mix or HD] system to use DP's DAE mode)
- Place the RTAS plug-in on a voice track
- Assigning the voice of the track to Automatic
- Place it on an insert in the Mixing Board above (before) a TDM plug-in
You cannot use an RTAS plug-in:
- In Digital Performer 4.12 or earlier
- While MAS (MOTU Audio System) is the selected Audio System
- On an Aux or Master Fader Track
- On an insert beneath (after) a TDM plug-in
Also, make sure that your RTAS plug-ins are located in /Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins. Lastly, check if the plug-in works in Pro Tools. If you do not see the plug-in while in Pro Tools, you will not see it while under DAE in Digital Performer.
