Antares Help Desk

Please be sure that you're using a compatible DAW, and that you've installed the correct plugin format for your DAW.  The latest versions of all Antares plug-ins can be downloaded from the Software Downloads page.  (Older discontinued Antares plug-ins can be downloaded from the Discontinued Software page).

Some DAWs may also require you to manually scan the plug-in folder in order for your plug-ins to appear. Please consult your DAW's documentation for more information about how to do that.
