Open AAXPLUGIN File

As its name implies, AAXPLUGIN is not a file as such, but is a plug-in that works as an Avid Audio eXtension (AAX) plug-in used by Pro Tools, which is a digital audio workstation (DAW).

Pro Tools is a platform, considered standard, for recording, editing and multitrack mixing of audio and midi, which integrates hardware and software created by AVID.

Its most popular free alternative is Ardor, which is cross-platform as well.

Pro-Tools can function as standalone software both with the standard sound card, as well as operate using external converters and internal PCI, PCI-X or PCIe audio cards equipped with DSP chips.

This plug-in AAXPLUGIN adds additional sound processing and audio effects to the application, as well as vintage compressor emulations, reverberant convolution effects, and noise reduction tools.
