About the Music Software & Plug-ins range

Choose by the job you need the software to do, such as synthesis, sampled instruments or immersive monitoring. Check the plug-in formats, including VST, VST3, AU and AAX, against your DAW. Logic Pro and GarageBand use AU, most Windows DAWs use VST or VST3, and Pro Tools requires AAX. Also check the operating system, CPU and memory requirements, licence type, installation method and whether the product runs as a plug-in, standalone application or both. Compare included libraries, presets, effects, MIDI features and available storage before buying.

Compatibility is the common trap. A plug-in format is not a quality rating, it determines which host can load the software. Confirm your Mac or Windows version and DAW before purchase, and check whether Apple silicon or older systems are supported. Some products are instruments with large sample libraries, while others are effects or monitoring plug-ins. This range is organised as Music Software & Plug-ins, with product pages showing the specific system requirements and dispatch time. Prices include GST, shipping is free to Australian addresses, and payment is available by bank transfer or PayID.

Music Software & Plug-ins questions

Will these plug-ins work with my DAW in Australia?

Check the product page for supported formats and operating systems before ordering. Logic Pro and GarageBand generally require AU, most other DAWs load VST or VST3, and Pro Tools requires AAX. The DAW, computer platform and software version must all be compatible.

What is the difference between VST, AU and AAX plug-ins?

They are plug-in formats used by different host applications. VST and VST3 are common across Windows and many DAWs, AU is used by Logic Pro and GarageBand on macOS, and AAX is the format required by Pro Tools. Choose the format your DAW supports.

Do music plug-ins include the sounds or sample library shown?

It depends on the product. Virtual instruments can include sampled sounds, presets and effects, while other plug-ins may provide processing or monitoring functions only. Read the product description and system requirements for included content, required downloads and available storage before purchase.
