Every AIDE AUDIO plugin follows the same general installation flow. This page summarizes the steps documented in the product manuals.

Installation Steps

1. Download the installer for your OS (Windows .exe or macOS .pkg) from the Downloads section of the product page.
2. Double-click the downloaded installer to launch it.
3. Accept the license agreement shown by the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. After installation, restart your DAW and rescan plugins so the product appears in your plugin list.

Supported Formats

Most products support VST3 (Windows / macOS), and on macOS they also support Audio Unit (AU).

The exact supported OS versions and formats differ per product — please check the "System Requirements" section on each product page for the precise minimum OS version and supported formats.

If the Plugin Doesn't Appear in Your DAW

• Restart your DAW and run a plugin rescan after installation.
• Check your DAW's plugin path settings to make sure the installation folder is included in the scan paths (see also the FAQ on the Support home for the default Windows install location).

How you activate a product after installation depends on the product (serial key entry, in-plugin sign-in, or a combination of the two). See the page that matches your product:

• Activating with a Serial Key
• Sign-In Activation

Check your product page or the product manual to see which method applies.
