I'm a sound engineering newbie. I downloaded Audacity to open vst plugins that I got from the web. I want to convert my vst plugins to rtas so that I could open my plugin in Pro Tools. Is there any way that I could convert vst to rtas for mac osx lion? How? Thanks!
How to convert VST to RTAS for Mac OSX Lion?
Hello,
i am giving some instructions maybe it can help you:
-
First Download the VST to RTAS Adapter pack. Try to match the adapter with your current version of Pro Tools.
-
Click on the VST to RTAS Adapter disk image on your computer. Drag and drop the folder to your Applications folder. Then  start VST to RTAS Adapter Configuration
-
The VST to RTAS Adapter will automatically scan your computer in these three areas for VST plug-ins:
-
/Library/Audio/Plugins/VST
-
/Users/<user>/Library/Audio/Plugins/VST
-
/Applications/VST to RTAS Adapter /VST
-
Select "Detect and Wrap" button to convert the VST plug-ins into RTAS. Â Then Quit VST to RTAS Adapter Configuration and open Pro Tools. The newly converted RTAS will now emerge under Inserts in the Pro Tools Mixer. Each converted plug-in will begin with a "VST" prefix
-
Purchase the Fxpansion VST to RTAS Adapter pack.
