 <h2>COMPATIBILITY NOTES</h2>
 
 Pro Tools | First
 
 Plugins tagged with Pro Tools | First in the Compatibility list are AAX Native 64 plugins specifically suited to Pro Tools | First. They do not require an iLok and are more affordably priced than other plugins in the listings. They are high quality plugins compatible with Pro Tools and Pro Tools | HD, but some of the bundles that include the word ‘First’ in the bundle name may contain plugins that are already included with Pro Tools and Pro Tools | HD software. Pro Tools | First will work with any plugins purchased from the Avid Store, however some plugins require an iLok, so check the ‘Specification’ tab to see if an iLok is required if you do not own an iLok.
