⚠ Update your Pro Tools to version 2023.9 (or later). As Rewire is now deprecated, we have implemented a solution working with Pro Tools 2023.9 (or later) that doesn't require any configuration and works straight away. If you can't upgrade your Pro Tools, please follow the next steps to work with Rewire.

⚠ Known Issue: Pro Tools does not start anymore after my first Mixup plugin install: see here

In order to transport control Pro Tools with Mixup, please follow those steps:

1. Insert the Mixup Rewire Device on an instrument track. This will activate Pro Tools' ReWire protocol and accept transport requests from the Mixup Plugin. You can then choose to hide this track and forget about it.
2. Insert the Mixup Plugin on any track (audio, instrument, bus). We suggest you insert it LAST on your mix bus in order to compare your current mix VS older versions

Mixup Plugin and Mixup Rewire should now be paired and allow you to click on your Mixup Plugin's timeline or comment timestamps and keep your DAW's play head in sync.

Troubleshooting: Why is my Mixup Rewire plugin not showing?

Pro Tools sometimes forgets to re-scan your rewire devices you recently installed. In order to force Pro Tools to re-scan and find your devices, please try the following steps.

For Mac:

First, please make sure that those two files exist on your drive: 

• /Library/Application Support/MixupAudio/Mixup/Mixup ReWire Device.bundle
• /Library/Application Support/Propellerhead Software/ReWire/Mixup ReWire Device.bundle

Note: the 2 paths above are located at the root of your drive (/Library) and NOT FROM YOUR USER FOLDER (~/Library or /Users/<username>/Library). If both those files do not exist, please reinstall the plugin.

Next, the goal is to delete the file:
 ~/Library/Preferences/Avid/Pro Tools/InstalledAAXPlugIns which is hidden by default :-(

1. Quit Pro Tools and open Finder
2. Click on the Go menu at the top of your screen, hold down the Option key on your keyboard, and select Library
3. Navigate to Preferences > Avid > Pro Tools
4. Delete the file called “InstalledAAXPlugIns“
5. Launch Pro Tools. It should now scan for any 64 bit ReWire client currently installed.

For Windows:

First, please make sure the following file exists on your drive: 
C:\Program Files\MixupAudio\Mixup\Mixup ReWire Device.dll

If this file is not present on your drive, please reinstall the plugin.

Next, the goal is to delete the file:
 C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Avid\Pro Tools/InstalledAAXPlugIns 

1. Quit Pro Tools
2. Navigate to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Avid\Pro Tools
3. Delete the file called “InstalledAAXPlugIns“
4. Launch Pro Tools. It should now scan for any 64 bit ReWire client currently installed.
