Installation on Mac OS X

Each individual Plug-in Package installer, either online or boxed, includes this manual, ReadMe, Release Notes, and a folder of presets specific to the Plug-in being installed. Two copies of the Plug-in’s Licensing Agreement are included - one as a pdf manual and a second as a separate text file. The Plug-in manual requires that Adobe Acrobat reader (or similar .pdf reader) is installed.

Installing the Plug-in and presets with the Installer:

The online version of the Plug-in package has been prepared for Internet delivery, and is transmitted as a compressed file in zip format (.zip). In Mac OS X 10.4.x, simply double click the *.zip file to unpack the installer.

The boxed version of the Plug-in package will be on CDROM. As with the online version, these ‘physical’ versions of the Plug-in package should be copied into a local folder on your system.

  1. Insert the McDSP ‘HD Disk,’ ‘Native Disk,’ or ‘LE Disk’ CDROM onto an available CDROM drive
  2. Navigate to the folder of the Plug-in you purchased on the CDROM - the installer application is contained therein.
  3. Run the Installer application to install (copy) the Plug-in, presets, and documentation to a local folder on your system. The Plug-in will be placed in the ‘Plug-ins’ folder, and the presets will be placed in the ‘Plug-ins Settings’ folder.
  4. If a previous version of the plug-in (or other HD, Native, or LE version) was already in the plug-ins folder, it will automatically be updated (or replaced) by the installer.

Re-installing McDSP Plug-in presets manually:

  1. If you wish to restore the factory default presets, it may be useful to know how to manually re-install just the presets.
  2. Go to the ‘Plug-in Settings’ folder:
    Root->Library->Application Support->Digidesign->Plug-in Settings
  3. Open another window and go to the appropriate McDSP Plug-in folder
    • Root->Applications ->McDSP->Plug-in
  4. Locate the parent folder containing folder named ‘Presets.’
  5. Drag the parent folder into the Plug-in Settings folder. The presets are now viewable (after restarting Pro Tools™) from the settings popup menu bar at the top of the Plug-in user interface.

Note: it may be necessary to re-start Pro Tools™ in order for the newly added ‘Presets’ folder to be viewable from the Settings popup inside the Plug-in window toolbar.
