you using PC or Mac?

If you have LE you want to install RTAS plugins. The plugins should show up in the Audiosuite by themselves, just select the audio portion that you want to change and then go in the AudioSuite menu. No VST or AU will work in PT LE, unless you have that little program that translates VSTs to RTAS.... :wink:

Let me know if I have been of any help.

Yea I have Pro Tools LE and im using a Mac...Dangit so I gotta get RTAS...alot of these cool plugins I find arent in RTAS

Also I put the Inspector RTAS plugin into the DigiDesign Plug-Ins Folder with the rest and it wont show up under Audio-Suite

You aren't stealing those cool plugs are you? I know ptle doesn't offer much in the way of freebies so if your doing much rtas downloading it may not be legit.

The Inspector is a real time spectrum analyzer. AudioSuite is the way that PT has to affect the music permanently, changing the waveforms too.

It doesn't make sense that something that does not affect the music is under a menu of things with the only purpose of changing the music.
Can you follow me? :D

There is a free Inspector download on their website buddy...I aint stealing nothing

But then where the heck do I find this inspector thing then inside pro tools

hey swurve, i think you're mixing up RTAS and audiosuite....RTAS stand for realtime audio suite....some plugins u can only use as an Audiosuite plugin ( Like Pitch N' Time) ....an RTAS plugin you select as in INSERT and choose from the available RTAS plugins...where as for audiosuite, you highlight your selection and then have the plugin alter the actual selection....so for your Inspector plugin which is only an RTAS plugin since its an analyzer, go to the Inserts column, click one of them tabs and a choice of your installed plugins should come up, and pick Inspector.....

jonnyc what are you?? A cop??? SwurVe is asking for help and you ask him if he steals????? not nice, not nice AT ALL!!! :shock:

There are TONS of free RTAS plugins, mostly offered from 3rd party companies trying to drum up some interest in their gotta-pay plugins. There was recently a post on the digitech forum that listed a bunch of places to look for free plugs:

By the way, hello. I've been lurking around for a couple of weeks, and I'm ready to start posting if I can be of any help. I'm just getting into protools--I spent the better part of the last decade on standalone roland and yamaha workstations--but I plan on learning this program with intensity! I have about 10 years of semipro recording experience, mostly in the service of recordiing my own music and ad work, but I've recorded the occasional band or songwriter project for other folks, too.
