Pro Tools doesn't support VST plugins, though there is a way to get it working. Pro Tools 8 LE uses RTAS plugins (though RTAS has officially been replaced with AAX for newer versions), but you can use you can use software like FXpansion's VST to RTAS adapter to host VST plugins in Pro Tools. Also, even so your computer has a 64-bit processor, Pro Tools 8 LE is 32-bit software, so you'll need to use the 32-bit version of that VST plugin. Once you 'wrap' it with the FXpansion program, you can run it inside Pro Tools. Hope this helps!

Now you can upgrade your plug-ins to Free — 'Plugin History & Links To Free Plug-Ins' Note: ** if you are bored and just want the free stuff, scroll to the bottom** For many of us long time users of Pro Tools, as well as more recent adopters, one of the biggest topics of discussion has always been using and working with plug-ins. Many a day and night have been spent frustrated at some issue or another revolving around plug-ins and their technical propensity for causing us anguish at the most inopportune time.

Jun 23, 2010 I heard about many great free plugins for Pro Tools. GK Amplification 2 LE is an amp/speaker simulator plug-in and is the Light version of GK Amplification 2 Pro. Available as Free Pro Tools Plugin and standalone.

Furthermore, the fact that there have been two different kind of plug-ins that Pro Tools uses has always left some scratching their heads. We'll get to the brief history lesson shortly, but for now, know that Avid is working hard at making this very technical aspect of Pro Tools easier and more efficient for everyone, for us, the end user, as well as the software plug-in developers who provide us with the software.

We are currently in the middle of one of the biggest changes to ever impact Pro Tools. Historically, Pro Tools used a type of plug-in know as TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) which was only available on large, expensive, professional grade solutions. This started right at the very infancy of Pro Tools in the late 1980's and is still currently in use with HD systems. These plug-ins process on a DSP card that is installed in the computer- they do not use the CPU of the computer itself for anything. If you needed more 'power' to run more plug-ins, you could buy more DSP card to boost the system capabilities. In 1999 the very fist systems known as LE (light edition) were released along with the 001 audio interface.

Union 10 Cycle Computer Manual. This was the first time that Pro Tools did not need special cards to run, it ran entirely on the CPU of the computer. This also meant that this LE version of Pro Tools could not use TDM plug-ins, as there were no special cards to run them; this is where we created RTAS plug-ins (Real Time AudioSuite). These RTAS plug-ins did their processing on the CPU of the computer which allowed us to have a more affordable solution to make and record music.

This point in time is where the problems start to arise- we now have two entirely different plug-in languages happening at the same time, TDM and RTAS (also referred to as Native). They not only process at different places on the system, they were also different languages, therefore requiring a different set of computer programmers to write the software. What we started to see develop were certain plug-ins available for TDM only, or RTAS only.

This especially became a hassle when you would move your session between a TDM/HD system and an LE system, and find that certain plug-ins didn't work- your sound was off. Starting with Pro Tools 10, Digidesign (now Avid) has started the first steps of a transition toward a simpler and more unified platform with the introduction of AAX plug-ins (Avid Audio eXtension). The main goal of this new platform is to do away with the problems of the past regarding compatibility between the systems and provide a single platform for plug-in developers to work with. Basically, this means that moving forward, we will be able to have the same plug-ins, working in the same way, regardless of what type of system is being used, DSP based or Native.
