McDSP

Each Plug-in installer includes the plug-in, a user’s 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 in the user’s manual and another as a plain text file. Note that the user’s manual requires Adobe Acrobat reader (or similar .pdf reader).

Both online and boxed versions will automatically install the plug-in and its presets on your system. Note that authorization of the plug-in is still required after running the installer, and those steps are detailed in the following sections.

Installing the Plug-in and Presets with the Installer:

The plug-in package purchased at your local dealer will be on CDROM and contain a Windows self extracting executable (.exe) similar to the online package prepared for Internet delivery. Both the boxed and online versions of the plug-in executable file will automatically install the plug-in and its presets on your system. Double click the file to launch the installer which will install the plug-in, presets, and documentation. At any time after installation, you may access the documentation from the Windows ‘Start Menu’ under the ‘McDSP’ group.

Authorization of the plug-in is still required after running the installer, and those steps are detailed in the following sections. Note that after installing new versions of the PACE iLok drivers with the plug-in installer, you will be prompted to reboot your system. If you are not prompted by the installer, there is no need to reboot.

1. Insert the McDSP ‘HD Disk,’ ‘Native Disk,’ or ‘LE Disk’ CDROM onto an available CDROM drive.
2. Navigate to the appropriate installer on the CDROM.
3. Run the Plug-in Installer application to install 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 the Plug-in presets manually:

If you wish to restore the factory default presets, it may be useful to know how to manually re-install only the presets.

1. Go to the Plug-in Settings folder:
   C:\Program Files\Common Files\Digidesign\DAE\Plug-in Settings\
2. Open another window and go to the appropriate McDSP Plug-in folder
   C:\Program Files\McDSP\Plug-in\
3. Locate the parent folder containing folder named ‘Presets.’
4. Copy 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.
