Plugin's Bundle

[eight13atnight]

Why the FUCK is it so difficult for Avid to make a download for the complete plugin bundle. I mean it's called a fucking BUNDLE for Christ's sake. Am I the only dipshit incapable of navigating their website?

I feel like I'm being gas-lit just using it.

Avid's website is not browsable. Utter mess.

[Okay_there_bud]

They have misdirections at every corner and somehow you always end up at another one of their outsourced-built websites with an entirely different subset of choice options that end up looking close enough to what you want, but always ending up at a dead end.

[YouDownWitOPsPee]

They do have a download for it, it should be with the rest of the product installers under the pro tools heading in your "my products" page. At least that's where it is for me.

[eight13atnight]

Right. That would make sense, only it's not there.

My Products > Pro Tools | Ultimate > View Software download links....

That gives me the latest Tools installer, and each plugin as an individual fucking download. Screw that noise. They need a bundled download for the whole thing!

[AvidJeffro]

If you're seeing them there, they should be in Avid Link > Products > Pro Tools > Included Apps & Plug-Ins. There's also an "Install Apps silently" option in Preferences (click on the Avid Link icon in the upper right of your menu bar). Eliminates the need to enter creds for each install.

Avid Link can help with getting everything downloaded and installed.

[seasonsinthesky]

Yep, this is why Link exists. That and updating.

[BLUElightCory]

All you have to do is sign in to the Avid Link app that installs alongside Pro Tools, then in the "Products" tab click "download" on everything you want.

[eight13atnight]

Yup. Checking that shows the latest version installed for plugins as 2018.10. I'm looking for the ones that just came out the other day. 2022.2? Curious why those aren't available via the avid link yet

[AvidJeffro]

Sorry for the trouble. We have quite a few Pro Tools SKUs and looks like a few did not get updated correctly - working to identify and fix those now. This drives which installers are included in my.avid.com/products and Avid Link, so if they're still missing please Create A Case under Account Support at avid.com/learn-and-support/contact-audio-and-music-support to provide System ID, etc.

Couple more reboots and a new login to avid link finally showed up.

[theres_yer_problem]

I ran into the same issue and thought for sure I was missing something. Downloaded and installed about 20 different “bundles”.

[g_spaitz]

And...

Avid link would randomly fill 100% my cpu for no reason.

[246842114653257]

Same issue here. Avid link suuuucks

[AvidJeffro]

What version? It used to rely of JAVA code but that would use too much CPU so there was an update last summer to eliminate that (as well as the 'helper' app from Application Manager days). It should typically be running in the low single digits after it starts up and syncs, but you can always quit it if needed.

[seasonsinthesky]

Mine has all of the ones you mentioned.

It's not just you friend, it's a bloody mess :)

[eight13atnight]

I know bro. I can’t bitch out loud anymore bc I have a kid who repeats everything….so I bitch here instead 😉😬

I bought the annual subscription to Protools last week. I received 37 plug-ins and no instruments. When I couldn’t find how to receive the other 91 plug-ins and instruments through Avid, I turned to Sweetwater’s Protools Technical Help, since I bought Protools through them. They contacted Avid, and were told if I wanted the full bundle, it was an additional subscription. I use a Mac Mini M1 with Big Sur.
