Protools first won’t load after downloading plugins
I installed Protools first with the link from my purchase of Focusrite 8i6 3rd generation and everything worked. I then downloaded the free Focusrite plugins and once again it launched. I then followed the link for the ProTools focusrite creative pack download, downloaded all the plug-ins listed on the page, some opened and some didn’t, and the ones that unpacked I installed. Now when I launch pro tools it hangs up when it is scanning plug-ins. I have to do you use force quit to get out of the program as it is not responding. I am using a MacBook Pro with iOS 11.4 with anM1 processor. Any help would be appreciated, at this point I have no recording capabilities. Thanks, Marty

Re: Protools first won’t load after downloading plugins
Hello and welcome,
i also use an M1 Macbook Air and the Focusrite Pro Tools First Version. On my system it scans about 2 minutes - every time. Seems to hang, but it doesn't. After a while everything goes on. So please be patient. Other option is to look, if there are new versions - especially for the Focusrite creative plugins. Please note: Only Addictive Keys, Softube Time and Tone Bundle and The RED Plug-ins will work other than that the Eleven Effects Bundle, Eleven Lite, Xpand2 and UVI Workstation. Hope that helps a bit. Best

Thank you for the reply, I waited for 20 minutes or so and when I used force quit it said protools wasn’t responding.

Re: Protools first won’t load after downloading plugins
1.What Version of Pro Tools First did you install?
2.Please open Macintosh HD(your Maindrive) - Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plugins and show me what plugins are loaded. Meanwhile i was fortunate with sorting out plugins that Pro Tools First don't use to bring my boot uptime to nearly 1 Minute Everything should work, if you are on Pro Tools First 2021.6 and all your plugins from Focusrite are registered in your ilok license manager. Best

Re: Protools first won’t load after downloading plugins
Thanks, this is the list and I suspect one is causing the hangup because several would not open when I downloaded them and yet they're showing here. I'm going to remove them and see what happens. As far as I know the current version is updated because I downloaded it this past week. The Focusrite plugins worked and I like the EQ a lot.

Re: Protools first won’t load after downloading plugins
I removed all the plug-ins and it works so apparently one or more are causing the conflict. If you happen to notice from the list any that are problematic please let me know, I am going to reload the focusrite red because I know there’s no problem there. Your help was greatly appreciated. Marty

Re: Protools first won’t load after downloading plugins
Hi Marty,
as far as i can see all plugins are legit and should work. Sometimes plugins from AIR make problems with newer Mac Os. Please visit AIR Music Tech and download the newest version of XPandII for Big Sur. Best Michael

I've been having the same issue as you when Eleven Lite is in my plug-ins folder. When I take it out, PT loads and doesn't crash anymore. Maybe it's that one?

Re: Protools first won’t load after downloading plugins
I've also found that my PT First won't load with InTune in my plug-ins folder either
