Default Warning: Check These Paths For AVID Plugins folder

You might have plugin folders you're not aware of that take up gigabytes of space.

I just cleared my PC of 4GB of AAX plugins I have no use for, as I don't use Protools.

I found two AVID folders here:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins\


I'm not sure exactly how this happened but thought it was worth mentioning just in case.

They install in a non-standard place in OSX as well. "Think different" or something? They've been doing this this way forever.

/Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins/

Standard plugin folders are:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/(VST, VST3, Components, etc folders here)

Heh. Things became more clear when I realized Windows command line swaps the directory separator with the escape character!

There used to be a "driver" that seemed to have only one purpose: disrupting other DAW's audio. Had several different names, usually something with Avid and/or audio in it.

If you want dirty tricks, install Protools...
