IK Multidemia plug ins won't show in PT11 Audio Suite

[TheMoonDuster]

All my IK Multimedia aax64 plug ins work well in PT 11, but they no longer show up in the audio suite drop down menu. In PT10 I would often use the audio suite to 'print' out the effect, such as an amplitube guitar track or whatever.

While it's similar to just bounce out the same track offline and re-import it, it's not always as fast and interrupts the workflow, especially when I just want to try something temporarily and have the ease of undo to reverse it if I didn't like it etc

All the other usual plug ins from other companies appear in audio suite, just no IK

Anyone else have them appearing or not appearing in audio suite?

You're not the only one. I generally don't do too much with AudioSuite plugs but I checked and you're right - no IK plugs in the PT 11.0.2 AudioSuite menu. They are there in PT 10.3.7 though.

Well good to know it's not just me, but not good to know they definately not in audio suite for PT 11

Hoping they haven't just thought why bother given you can render offline. It's not the same and terribly slow for sound design

What did IK tell you?

If you're asking me - I haven't contacted IK but going by what I've experienced in the past they don't get back to people.

To the OP as it's obviously a question for them.

When I contacted them last time, they had just released their latest update to Custom Shop, which was problematic, so the reply was lost in just download the 'fixed' latest update.

So I posted here to see if it was just me or if I'd stuffed up some ProTools settings or something.

I've since contacted them again, still awaiting reply. I've found their customer service to be pretty good in the past, so I'm not surprised for the reply to be delayed a fair bit cause of this time of year, but will let you know when I hear from them.

On another note, I've also noticed Native Instruments not appearing in Audio Suite either!

You're also right about NI not appearing in Audio Suite either. Although Blue Cat MB7-2 shows in AS and you could host the vst version of said plugs in that and continue on AS'ing. Going over to the NI forums and see what's up.

edit for additional:
Started a thread over in the NI fx subforum as they don't have a forum for an overall. Also raised a support ticket with NI on this.

Update on the NI front:
I raised a support ticket with NI and after a couple of back and forths from one of their people who I'll not name at this time I got a response back:

NI Plug-ins are not loaded from the menu shown in your screen shot.

Please see the details within the following knowledgebase article for more info:

Pro Tools Guide - How to insert Native Instruments plug-ins
http://www.native-instruments.com/kn...questions/528/

I'd sent a screen shot of the PT11 mix window with the cursor showing the pulldown Audio Suite menu. Judging from the response I got I get the feeling there are some that don't know about Audio Suite processing. I wonder if this is the same thing going on with IK?

In a thread I started over on the NI forums I got a response and as part of that the person wrote that he's not seeing AIR plugins in AS either and he's right. At least there's no menu item with AIR mentioned in it (I have plugins organized by both plugin type and developer).
