How to perform a Clean Install of Xvox Pro on macOS

Sometimes, your DAW won't update it's cache when installing an update, which can lead to issues when updating from one version of a plugin to another.


This is especially common with Components in certain DAWs on macOS, but can also happen with AAX plugins (see the special instructions below if you're a Pro Tools user.)

👉 If this happens, it's a simple fix to perform a clean install of the updated version.

How to perform a clean install:


  1. Completely close and quit your DAW
  2. Open Finder and go to the following folder: Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > Plug-Ins > Components
  3. Delete the following component files:
        1. "Xvox Pro.component"
        2. "Xvox Comp.component"
        3. "Xvox DS.component"
        4. "Xvox SFX.component"
        5. "Xvox Space.component"
        6. "Xvox Tone.component"

Then, after those files are deleted, re-install the newest version of Xvox Pro (1.5.0).


This will resolve the problems and force your DAW to update it's cache, ensuring that everything works as expected.



🚨 Only if you are a Pro Tools user on macOS and are experiencing issues with updating, please follow these steps:


  1. Completely close and quit your DAW
  2. Open Finder and go to the following folder: Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Avid > Audio > Plug-Ins
  3. Delete the following component files:
        1. "Xvox Pro.aaxplugin"
        2. "Xvox Comp.aaxplugin"
        3. "Xvox DS.aaxplugin"
        4. "Xvox SFX.aaxplugin"
        5. "Xvox Space.aaxplugin"
        6. "Xvox Tone.aaxplugin"

Then, after those files are deleted, re-install the newest version of Xvox Pro (1.5.0).


This will resolve the problems and force your DAW to update it's cache, ensuring that everything works as expected.
