2022.7.0 stucked at plugins loading

[raularellano]

Hello, I just moved to a M1 machine and updated to this 2022.7.0 version, I'm getting stuck in the plugin loading when it tries to load the Brainworx "bx_panEQ". I have already delete it from the Plugin Folder and it still asks for it. I have already uninstall and reinstall Pro Tools and it is still happening. Any help will be much appreciated!

Hi. Welcome to the forum.
There are some plugins that work on mac intel processors, but not on M1 macs. So you must isolate the problematic plugin(s).

Pull out all plugins from the plugin folder and put them in 'Unused'. Launch PT. PT will reinstall all the basic avid plugins. That's just how it works. It should load fine.

Then, I suggest, after quitting PT, you put one half, or one third of the plugins back and try and launch PT again. (You might see "Some of the files already exists…" and that's the avid plugs. You can safely just click 'Replace'.) Repeat until you find the plugin that causes the problem. You can use labels to keep track of what plugins are tested and OK.

The fact that you see BX_panEQ on the splash screen doesn't mean it's causing the problem, in fact it likely means bx_panEQ just successfully loaded, and the next plugin alphabetically is causing the crash.

I know I had problems with Black Rooster and IK Modo Drums, among others, when I went to Apple silicon.

After you move the problematic plug-in from the plug-ins folder, try starting PT while holding down the N key. This usually re-scans the plug-ins and will ultimately prompt you to choose your playback engine again. If that doesn't work, you may want to trash your preferences. There is an article on the Sweetwater site for how to do that.
