AAX FX Plug-In

[DanH]

In Pro Tools my FX plug-in comes up under the 'Modulation' folder on Windows and 'Other' on OSX.

Is there any way to control this when exporting from Hise?

@DanH In the Project preferences

[DanH]

@ustk aha! Thank you!

[ustk]

@DanH I reckon you can also do it in the jucer after export

@ustk next question! I'm struggling to get InnoSetup to compile the aax file. I know its a folder, but either declaring the source file as

Location example\MyPlugin.aaxplugin 

or

Location example\MyPlugin.aaxplugin\*

returns that the file doesn't exist and files can't be found. Any ideas?!

@DanH Sorry I don't know InnoSetup...

Here's what I'm doing:

;AAX
Source: "Z:\MyPlugin.aaxplugin\*"; DestDir: "{commoncf64}\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins\MyCompany\MyPlugin.aaxplugin"; Components: aax_64; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs createallsubdirs
Source: "Z:\MyPlugin.aaxplugin\desktop.ini"; DestDir: "{commoncf64}\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins\MyCompany\MyPlugin.aaxplugin"; Components: aax_64; Flags: ignoreversion; Attribs: hidden
Source: "Z:\MyPlugin.aaxplugin\PlugIn.ico"; DestDir: "{commoncf64}\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins\MyCompany\MyPlugin.aaxplugin"; Components: aax_64; Flags: ignoreversion; Attribs: hidden

@Dan-Korneff ah yeah maybe I missed the bit about sub directories! Thanks!

What is the desktop.ini for? And is the icon for the PT aax icon ?

@DanH that is supposed to set the AAX icon to your plugin, otherwise the plugin will just look like a folder on windows.
