Pluginfo

[playz123]

I recently discovered a great little app for Macs that is called PlugInfo. Basically, what it does is indicate whether each and every audio plugin on your computer (including AU, VST, VST 3, AAX etc.) is actually “M1 Native” or still “Intel”. Some developers continue to describe their plugins as M1 compatible, which can be confusing. The app is available in the Apple store for only $3-4. But first, if you are interested, you can read more about it here:

Thanks for sharing this, Frank!

The app developer is a respected member of a forum I've been frequenting since 2001: The Keyboard Corner. She goes by Lady Gaia there.

It looks like a very useful piece of software for those who are migrating to Apple Silicon. She posted a thread about it with more details, in case you're interested:

Thanks for that, Geoff. She did an excellent job.
