Anyone?

Are you trying to put a mono plug on a stereo track or vice versa?
I suggest you spend some time reading the PT User's Guide (aka The Manual) to see what AudioSuite plugins are and how they work. Short story is AS plugins only process a user-selected portion of audio and not necessarily the whole track. And it's destructive whereas a plugin on an insert leaves the audio alone and is applied after the fact.

Also make sure that plugin is either RTAS or aax32 which are the two insert plugin formats in PT10.

Can you post a link to where you got the plugin from so we can get a bit more background?
