Re: Can't Access Newer Stock Plugins
I am guessing maybe there are old RTAS plugins installed and then the AAX plugins got deleted or Pro Tools messed up and the AAX plugins stop being seen and are replaced by old RTAS ones.
Obvious troubleshooting to do... check if the plugin files and directories are all there. Trash prefs and databases. Delete any unneeded RTAS plugins and confirm the AAX versions load.
An easy way I'd see this happening is recent AAX-64 only plugins get installed in Pro Tools 10... it won't load them and will instead load any equivalent old RTAS plugin. But that will not happen by itself.
Version numbers will give away the story and the recent version PT Prefs prints those out again. Or is easy to use file(1) to directly check for 64-bit only AAX plugins.
e.g. AAX-64 only Maxim:
$ cd /Library/Application\ Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins
$ file Maxim.aaxplugin/Contents/MacOS/Maxim
Maxim.aaxplugin/Contents/MacOS/Maxim: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64
