Massenburg Finally Release A Reliable Version of Their MDW EQ5 64 Bit Plugin For AAX DSP And AAX Native

There has been a long standing issue for some users of the Massenburg Design Works MDW EQ5 plug-in where it causes Pro Tools to crash.

It seems that Massenburg have finally released a version that works with the current versions of Pro Tools. Rail Jon Rogut from Massenburg Design Works says the final build MDWEQ5-AAX 5.2.1r17 is now available that now should also work on Mojave…

MDW EQ5 System Requirements:

  • Mac – Mac OS X 10.7 or higher (32 or 64-bit)

  • Windows – 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate (64-bit only)

MDW EQ5 Version 5.2.1r17

There have also been comments that the installers on the Avid site are not up to date yet so here are the urls for the latest installers from Massenburg Design Works who also advise that anyone installing from the following links should first update their PACE software

macOS:

Windows:

If anyone has any issues, you should contact MDW support.

UPDATE: September 3rd 2019

There have still been reports that even these installers are reported as “not a valid AAX plugin”. Community member Tristan Hoogland has suggested that…

“For anybody else having issues installing (getting errors saying it's not a valid AAX plugin), I had to manually move/delete the old plugin from the plugins folder for it to work.”
