Xpand!2 missing .big file
Recently got pro tools and I have been trying to use Xpand!2 but whenever i try to open it i get an error saying "THE FACTORY CONTENT WAS NOT FOUND: C:/Program Files/AIR Music Technology PLEASE LOCATE THE CONTENT FILE 'Xpand!2.big'" however the aforementioned file is nowhere to be found. If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated

(BIG File) on Windows: Xpand!2’s Factory Content default location is: C:\ProgramData\Air Music Technology You can move this elsewhere (e.g. your Samples drive) during installation. The following process applies to all AIR VIs and FX – let’s use Xpand!2 as an example: Windows Presets for Xpand!2 are not in Program Files – they’re here: C:\Program Files (x86)\AIR Music Technology\ Xpand!2\Presets Change the name of the ‘Presets’ Folder– call it: Xpand!2 Paste it here: Windows C:\Users\Username\Documents\Pro Tools\Plug-In Settings Mac (thanks Ben!) User folder - Documents - Pro Tools - Plugin settings Another way to get AIR Presets: double-click: Xpand!2.aaxplugin double-click: Contents Folder double-click: Factory Presets Folder Copy the Xpand!2 Folder Paste it here for Windows: C:\Users\Username\Documents\Pro Tools\Plug-In Settings or here for (thanks Ben!) Mac: User folder - Documents - Pro Tools - Plugin settings Restart computer Launch Pro Tools

In: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features Do you have: AIR Xpand!2 – Version 18.10.0.1448 And did you already do this: Windows Presets for Xpand!2 are not in Program Files – they’re here: C:\Program Files (x86)\AIR Music Technology\ Xpand!2\Presets Copy the Presets Folder and paste it here: C:\Users\Username\Documents\Pro Tools\Plug-In Settings Change the name of the ‘Presets’ Folder– call it: Xpand!2

Re: Xpand!2 missing .big file
A faulty download could be the problem
Uninstall Xpand!2 in Windows Programs and Features and delete the AAX Plug-In from the Plug-Ins Folder and, if it exists, the Xpand!2 Folder in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Pro Tools\Plug-In Settings Run the free CCleaner > Registry > Scan for Issues (save backup/s when prompted) – run this a couple of times until no issues are found Restart computer Download: XPand!2 18.1 Installer (Win) 1.23 GB from your Avid Account > My Products Install Restart computer Launch Pro Tools
