Plug-ins are software applications that run inside a DAW such as Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton or Pro Tools. They expand the range of sounds and effects available within the DAW.
Sometimes plug-ins can cause problems. For example:
- Installation errors
- Plugin not showing up within the DAW
- Causing the DAW to crash
- Licensing errors
Paul Andrews, the lead technician at Audio Support, is a Music Technology expert with over 20 years experience diagnosing and solving plug-in problems with any DAW on Windows or Mac.
