How To Uninstall Legacy Antares Plug-ins on Mac OS X

Modern Auto-Tune licenses can be uninstalled in the Auto-Tune Central application. Legacy licenses, like Auto-Tune EFX3, will need to be uninstalled manually.

The installations of modern Auto-Tune licenses, such as Auto-Tune Pro 11, Auto-Tune EFX+ 10, and Vocal Reverb can be managed in the Auto-Tune Central application. 

Legacy licenses, such as Auto-Tune Pro 9, Auto-Tune EFX 3, and Auto-Tune Evo, will need to be uninstalled manually by following one of the methods outlined below. 

Option 1:  Use the Uninstaller

Go to the "Antares Audio Technologies" folder within your Applications folder, open the specific Antares plugin folder, double-click on the included uninstaller utility, and follow the instructions in the Terminal screen prompt.

For example, if you're trying to uninstall Auto-Tune® EFX 3 go to Macintosh HD/Applications/Antares Audio Technologies/Auto-Tune EFX 3 and double-click on Uninstall Auto-Tune EFX 3.command

If you have an older Antares plugin that does not have an included uninstaller utility, please use option 2 below to uninstall the plugin.

Option 2:  Manually delete the plugin file

Go to the appropriate plugin folder on your hard drive and delete the plugin file.

Here are the locations of the folders for the various plugin formats:

AU
MacHD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components

AAX
MacHD/Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/Antares Audio Technologies

RTAS/TDM
MacHD/Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins

VST3:
MacHD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3

VST2:
MacHD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST

If you ever need to install your legacy license again to open an old project, you can redownload the installer from our Discontinued Software Downloads page.
