If any of your non-Digidesign plug-ins have not been updated, they will be listed in the display window. Please visit the Web site for the manufacturer of any affected plug-ins and download the update (if available), or ask the manufacturer when one will be available. <\/p>\n<p>This utility was originally introduced with Pro Tools 6.2.2 due to a PACE copy protection bug. Some users experience instability and\/or crashes when launching Pro Tools, opening a session, or dismissing a trial-period dialog if any Pace-wrapped third party plug-ins are installed. The fix for this bug is in the latest PACE drivers included and installed automatically within the Pro Tools software installer. Updates to all plug-ins are also necessary to prevent instability and\/or crashes. All plug-ins supplied with the Pro Tools 6.2.3 installer have been fixed. Even if you do not have updates for all your plug-ins, instability would only occur immediately after adding or removing a plug-in from your Pro Tools Plug-Ins folder. After the first crash and subsequent reboot, you should not see any further problems, unless you then add or remove plug-ins from the Plug-Ins folder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[34125],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the What is the Digidesign Plug-In Validator?  page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/what-digidesign-plug-validator\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"What is the Digidesign Plug-In Validator?  - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This is a utility that allows you to check the version of your non-Digidesign plug-ins to determine whether or not they need to be updated for use with the currently installed version of Pro Tools.
