So the Hise exported AAX plugin is running Natively in Apple Silicon Pro Tools, right?

This is the Libs folder in the AAX SDK 2.4.1:

This is the Libs folder in the AAX SDK 2.5.0 (The latest one):

I am not sure if the AAX SDK 2.4.1 is Native Apple Silicon

Compilation for arm64 is first introduced in AAX SDK 2.4.0.

So AAX SDK 2.4.1 is ok for Native Silicon AAX exports, though the folder structure of version SDK 2.5.0 is different.

You can test your AAX builds whether they are x64 or Universal (x64 & arm64), with this APP: https://petegates.com/pgptprefs.html

You should see the Universal architecture type.

Okay so I'm getting a bit stuck trying to compile the 2.50 SDK on MacOS (possibly because I dont really know what Im doing...)

So I have:

1. Downloaded the 2.5.0 sdk and unzipped it to my HISE tools\SDK folder...

2. Gone to aax-sdk-2-5-0/Libs/AAXLibrary/MacBuild

3. loaded AAXLibrary.xcodeproj into XCode...

4. Run Compile-> for profiling

..which worked.

..but I cant see any output (especially not in x86_64_arm64/Release)

am I doing something wrong?(I guess thats a yes right there) do I need to set up some config in XCode at step 3?

[DanH]

@Lindon I had the same, couldn't be arsed to figure it out... Previous SDK worked ok. What are the benefits for 2.5.0?

[Lindon]

@DanH when you say "previous SDK worked ok":

1. does the previous deliver universal binaries?
2. if so where would I down load this "previous SDK"?

[DanH]

@Lindon

1 - Apparently so
2 - I guess you'll have to see if it's you Avid account / Developer tools page - maybe they have an old link on there. I just checked mine but can't see it :/

As I previously mentioned above, the previous SDK version (2.4.1) works here for Universal Binaries.

Thr only advantage of 2.5.0 is ATMOS mix channel support for FX plugins. If you don't use ATMOS channel routing, 2.4.1 is the one to go with.

Previous versions should appear in Avid's Developers Area.

[Dan Korneff]

@orange speaking of which, @Christoph-Hart can we please add multichannel routing so we can make ATMOS plugs?

[Lindon]

@orange cept it doenst anymore its 2.50 only here....

..or am I looking in the wrong place?

[Lindon]

...grrrrrrrr

Well now it will start to compile butfalls over pretty badly..

** BUILD FAILED **

Has anyone got an AAX SDK that builds successfully, and builds native plugins?

[Dan Korneff]

@Lindon I'm check my rig in a few. You need PC or MAC?

[Dan Korneff]

@Lindon I'm getting the exact same errors here when trying to use AAX 2.5

yeah - it looks like 2.5+ for the AAX SDK is broken for HISE...which is a bit of a concern as you can now only get 2.5.0 from Avid....

@Christoph-Hart !!! - this might be a JUCE problem but can you take a (quick) look?

[audiolyf]

+1 I think I need to get my hands on that 2.4.1 too, shame they don't keep any legacy downloads at all..

[hisefilo]

@audiolyf @Lindon @Dan-Korneff Hi mates, anyone can post or share a legacy 2.4.x AAX SDK?
2.5.1 still getting the "duplicate case value 'AAX_eStemFormat_Stereo'" error on Mac Silicon.
Thanks in advance!

[audiolyf]

@hisefilo Sure PM me your email

[b23deep]

Hi everyone, I'm new here - nice to meet you all :) I'm running into the same problem. Would it please be possible to also share the 2.4.1 with me? Thanks in advance!

[Gabor.K]

Hi everyone!
I have the same problem with 2.5.0 (AAX_eStemFormat_Stereo).
Can anyone share a 2.4.1 AAX SDK with me? It would be greatly appreciated.
