The main problem with Pro Tools Audio Plugin Format is that the AAXPLUGIN file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that AAXPLUGIN files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AAXPLUGIN file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Pro Tools

Programs to open AAXPLUGIN file

Remember to download programs supporting AAXPLUGIN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Pro Tools with AAXPLUGIN files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AAXPLUGIN file still does not use the Pro Tools program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AAXPLUGIN file with the Pro Tools program.

Step 3. Update Pro Tools to the latest version

If, however, after binding Pro Tools with Pro Tools Audio Plugin Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Avid Technology, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AAXPLUGIN file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the AAXPLUGIN file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AAXPLUGIN file. Sometimes virus-infected AAXPLUGIN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of AAXPLUGIN file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AAXPLUGIN file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AAXPLUGIN files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move AAXPLUGIN to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AAXPLUGIN file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
