Default Re: Protools first won’t load after downloading plugins

Hi !

I'm jumping in here as I'm having the same problem - my PTF gets stuck while "scanning plugins" on first launch ...

I've downloaded and installed PTF version 2021.6.0 today on MacOS 12.0.1 on my Intel MBP (16 Zoll, 2019).

Reading this thread I wanted to show you my list of plugins to identify any showstoppers ... just to find out that I don't have any Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plugins folder !

I only have a Library/Application Support/Avid/Pro Tools
(containing a "Cache" and a "Cookies" folder - no plugins folder !

I have created the Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plugins folder manually then - but PTF still hangs on launch :-(

Any ideas ?

Thanks
Tom

Hi, welcome to the community.

PT|first generally speaking does not support 3rd party plugins. Only the ones that come with the install itself, the ones you buy from Avid Marketplace, and some special arrangements with 3rd party hardware vendors such as focurite.

Thanks Janne !

Wasn't aware of that ...

But as I don't even have a plugins folder (or now a manually created empty folder) I'm not quite sure to solve my problem with PT|first hanging on launch while "Scanning plugins" ...

Any ideas ?

Thanks
Tom

Is there maybe the possibility to skip the process of plugin scanning ?
For example by pressing a key during launch ?

It has last been supported on Catalina and you are running two generations newer OS, that is likely your problem.
