I’ve installed Pro Tools, but the included virtual instruments aren’t showing up.
The virtual instruments are installed from a separate download available in your Avid account. To do this, log into your Avid account, go to Your Products, and expand the Downloads links.
You will need to download and install different products depending on which Pro Tools version you have. Use the table below for more details.
| Version of Pro Tools | Product to Download/Install |
|---|---|
| Pro Tools 11 | AIR Creative Collection |
| Pro Tools 10 | Avid Virtual Instruments |
| Pro Tools Express | Avid Virtual Instruments Express |
Note: Be sure to choose the correct installer for your computer’s operating system.
