1. How to install.


Windows:

Unzip the .zip file and extract the installer (.exe file). Run the installer and follow the provided instructions. You can choose Your desired file destination, but for optimal performance, we recommend leaving everything at default settings.

macOS: Double-click the .pkg in order to run the installer. You can choose Your desired file destination and desired formats, but for optimal performance, we recommend leaving everything at default settings.

If the plugin does not install due to an installer error, you have to disable Gatekeeper permanently.
Open a terminal by pressing Cmd + Space, enter “Terminal” and open the application. Run the following command: sudo spctl --master-disable. Enter your administrator password when requested.
Gatekeeper is now disabled permanently and the plugin can be installed.



  1. My antivirus flagged the installer.


Your antivirus probably doesn't recognize our installer and sees it as a potential malware. It's most likely due to outdated databases, so we recommend just ignoring the warning. We can assure You that our software is safe and won't cause any harm to Your machine.



  1. My license key does not fit.


If that's the case, then there's a chance You're using the wrong version of our software. If You bought any of our plugins before June 2022, You'll have to use the iLok version of the plugin. In any other case, You should be using the standard (non-iLok) version. 
 
If You can't remember when You've acquired the product, then there's an easy way to check which version to use.
 
Standard product keys consist of numbers and letters, similarly to the example below:
RG5J-U4P5-RNBG-ZU9F-3TD7-BVZF-GSTA
 
iLok product keys consist of numbers only, like the one below:
7379-2279-2383-2520-2158-6987-1697-47



  1. My key doesn't work.


Try running the standalone app as an administrator and then enter the key when prompted.



  1. The standalone version has no sound.

When You start our plugins for the first time, they are muted to prevent feedback loops. To unmute them, go to the settings tab in the top-left corner.

MAC:
If the plugin is unmuted and has no sound:
Check in device settings if the app has allowed access to the microphone.




  1. The plugin makes sound only on one speaker.


Go to Options (Top-left corner) > Audio/MIDI Settings > Active input channels: (chose one)
Also, make sure both of Your desired outputs are selected.
