Just to clarify that the location of the plugin cache changed a few months ago (w/ 2023.12 I believe). Its new location is /Users/Shared/Pro Tools/AAXPlugInCache.

2. In Macintosh HD>Library>Preferences there were 3 duplicates of ‘com.avid.ProTools.plist’. I deleted all of these.

After emptying the trash I opened Pro Tools and so far it’s running really snappy and smooth and loading up fairly quickly.

Thank you so much for taking your time to write that reply! So much stress has been alleviated now.

I’m not sure if the 14.4 / iLok issue caused a knock-on effect which caused this to happen, or if I was bound to run into this issue anyway, but I hope if anyone is going through this, they’ll see the fix for it and get back and up and running in no time.


Thanks Basslik and thank you all for your contribution to the DUC.

Fantastic you are rolling again.



The credit has to go the amazing folks here, not I.



If it wasn't for so many here, Janne, Daryl, Metro, Tope d, Marrianna, and the list goes on and on.
