i have mbox 2 pt 7 i recently got some plugins from a guy for free like 4 waves series auto-tune and some others any way i installed them once i open protools i get a waves era message saying it can't find some waves file but will still allow you to use protools and the plugins show up but if you try to use them protools shuts down or makes a loud noise. does anyone know what the problem is? and also where can i get some free plugins that are not trial versions? thanks

I know Massey has some (http://www.masseyplugins.com/index_v2.html?page=download), the L2007 is awesome, and I'm a big fan of Tapehead too.

You can download the Isotope Vinyl Plug in for free as well (http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/vinyl/).

There are probably a lot more, but those are the ones coming to mind at this moment.

As far as the Waves plug-in, I know there are hacked versions, and I'm not sure how those work, but for the legit ones you need to install the Enabler (Waves are a bitch to install). Hopefully someone else can be of better assistance than I! Good luck!

This is not a forum to discuss in any way illegally obtained plug-ins. You certainly can discuss plug-ins offered by the company for free, and I'm sure many would appreciate it.

thanks for the help. sorry i was in no way meaning to talk about anything illegal he already had these plugins with his system and i just wanted to try them out and my question was really to figure out what the error message was all about to make sure i haven't messed up my system again sorry for the misunderstanding

also one more question is a must that you get the ilok in order to use plugins with pt 7?

the digi-rack plug-ins do not require and iLok, but most other plug-ins like Waves, McDSP, SoundToys, and other separate purchase plug-ins from digidesign, etc. do require the iLok.
