Basic Requirements

Getting set up is very simple, but you will need a few things before you begin.

Electric guitar or bass

The instrument you wish to use the plugin with, and an instrument cable.

Computer

Any Windows PC or Apple Mac computer capable of multitrack audio processing. Make sure your machine meets the minimum required specifications:

macOS minimum requirements

  • Intel Core i3 Processor (i3-4130 / i5-2500 or higher)
  • Apple Silicon (M1 or higher)
  • 8GB of RAM or more
  • macOS 11 Big Sur (or higher)

Windows minimum requirements

  • Intel Core i3 Processor (i3-4130 / i5-2500 or higher)
  • AMD Quad-Core Processor (R5 2200G or higher)
  • 8GB of RAM or more
  • Windows 10 (or higher)

Our latest plugins require AVX support, a feature added by Intel's "Ivy Bridge" and AMD's "Zen" generations. Intel processors such as Pentium, Xeon, or Celeron might not be compatible regardless of the generation.

Audio interface

An audio interface is a device that connects musical instruments and microphones to a computer via USB, Thunderbolt, or PCIe.


Studio Monitors or Headphones

Once the instrument signal is being processed by the plugin, you need to hear it. Having the sound come out from the computer speakers is not recommended due to quality and latency issues.
