Installation
Installation on Mac
After downloading the installer for Mac you will find a file named "Spectral
Installer nnn.dmg" (or "Spectral Demo Installer nnn.dmg" if you are trying
the demo) located in your download folder. “nnn” is the actual version
number, for example “100”.
Most Mac will mount the disk image automatically. If not, please double-
click this file to open the image.
Then double-click the installer program which will guide you through the
installation process. The plugin file for Spectral and the factory presets will
be placed in the right directories for AU and VST plugins on your Mac.
The next time you start your host software Spectral will be listed in the AU
and VST plugin list of your DAW software.
The installation is always only for the current user; if you want to use the
plugin with different users on your computer, each user must run their own
installation.
Installation on PC
After downloading the installer for PC you will find a file named "Spectral
Installer nnn.exe" (or "Spectral Demo Installer nnn.exe" if you are trying the
demo) located in your download folder. “nnn” is the actual version number,
for example “100”.
Start this program and the installer will guide you through the installation
process. Make sure you choose the correct plug-in directory so that your
DAW software can find Spectral. Refer to your DAW software's manual if
you are unsure about where this plug-in directory is located.
The plugin file Spectral 32.dll (if you choose the 32 bit version) or
Spectral.dll (for the 64 bit version) and the factory presets will be placed in
the chosen directory. The next time you start your DAW software Spectral
will be listed in the VST plugin list.
