Importing audio effects plug-ins
One advantage of using Resolve is that, like any other Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), it has the ability to import extra audio plug-ins in order to expand its audio capabilities.
Resolve supports two common audio plug-in formats, AU and VST:
- AU plug-ins
The Audio Unit (AU) plug-in was created by Apple. So, if you are using an Apple Mac, you will find that Resolve automatically recognizes the AU plug-ins already installed on your Mac.
- VST plug-ins
The Virtual Studio Technology (VST) plug-in is a standard audio effect plug-in created by Steinberg.
VST plug-ins come as either effects plug-ins or instrument (VSTi) plug-ins, where you can play a virtual instrument or synthesizer.
Top tip – finding VST and AU effects
There are plenty of independent third-party plug-in developers on the internet who offer both free and paid VST and AU plug-ins you can download. Just do a quick web search to discover pages...
