Installation guide

Installing Your Plugin

Our plugins come as a VST3 plug-in (for your DAW) and a Standalone app (no DAW needed). Mac users also get an AU (Audio Unit) version for Logic and GarageBand.

Every release is code-signed on Windows and notarized by Apple on macOS, so it installs and opens cleanly. You can also verify any download against the VirusTotal report linked on its release page.

The first time you open the plugin, it asks for the license key from your purchase email - paste it and click ACTIVATE (internet required the first time), and it works offline after that.

Windows

Download <Plugin>-Windows.zip and unzip, then:

Copy <Plugin>.vst3 into C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
Run <Plugin>.exe for the standalone
Rescan plugins in your DAW

macOS

Download <Plugin>-macOS.zip and unzip, then drag each file to its folder:

<Plugin>.vst3 → ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/
<Plugin>.component → ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/
<Plugin>.app → /Applications
Then rescan plugins in your DAW. (In Finder, use Go → Go to Folder… and paste ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/ to find the plug-in folders.)

Activating your license

Open the plugin → paste the license key from your email → ACTIVATE (internet required once) → works offline afterward.

Troubleshooting: "No internet" → connect and retry · "Activation limit reached" → the key has hit its device limit, contact support · Plugin not showing up → double-check the folder above and rescan in your DAW.
