Pre-Update: Verify Old Version Files & Functionality
-
Check Installed Files and Locations:
-
VST3 Plugin:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
-
AAX Plugin:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins
-
Presets:
Documents\SubMission Audio\DoubleTap\Presets
-
Manual:
Documents\SubMission Audio\DoubleTap\Manual
-
Uninstaller Files:
Located inC:\Windows
(files nameduninst00x.exe
plus corresponding.dat
and.msg
files).
-
VST3 Plugin:
-
Check Windows Settings:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps.
- Locate the old uninstall entry for DoubleTap. (Do not use it yet.)
-
Session Testing (VST3 & AAX):
- Open a DAW session (e.g., in Reaper, Cubase, etc.) using the old VST3 version of DoubleTap.
- Create and save a custom preset (suggest naming it “old version” for easy reference; use the default save location).
- If possible, repeat the same steps for the old AAX version.
Update: Run the New Installer
After verifying the old installation:
-
Run the New Installer.
-
New Installation Locations:
-
VST3 Plugin:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\SubMission Audio
-
AAX Plugin:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins\SubMission Audio
-
Presets:
C:\ProgramData\SubMission Audio\DoubleTap\Presets
-
Manual:
C:\ProgramData\SubMission Audio\DoubleTap\Manual
-
Uninstaller:
C:\ProgramData\SubMission Audio\DoubleTap\Uninstall
-
VST3 Plugin:
-
Expected Changes Made by the New Installer:
-
Presets:
Old presets should be moved from the documents folder to the new location. -
File Cleanup:
- The installer should delete the old preset and manual files in the Documents directory.
- It should remove the old uninstall entry from Windows Settings > Apps.
- It should remove the uninstaller files (
uninst00x.exe
,.dat
,.msg
) fromC:\Windows
. - It should delete the old VST3 and AAX files from their root directories, leaving only those inside the
SubMission Audio
subdirectories.
-
Presets:
Post-Update: Verify Plugin and Preset Functionality
-
Reopen Your Sessions:
- Open the sessions you created earlier.
- Verify that the plugin loads correctly for both VST3 (and AAX, if applicable).
-
Check Preset Availability:
- Ensure that the old presets appear in the plugin’s preset menu.
-
Test Saving a Preset:
- Save a preset from within the plugin.
- Confirm that the save dialog now points to the new preset location (
C:\ProgramData\SubMission Audio\DoubleTap\Presets
).
Summary of What to Look For:
- Correct File Locations: Old files in the original directories before update; new files in the updated directories after running the installer.
-
Proper Cleanup: Removal of old uninstall entries, redundant files in Documents, and plugin files outside the
SubMission Audio
subfolders. - Functional Integration: Previously created sessions load correctly, old presets are accessible, and new presets save to the new location.
Please report any discrepancies or issues encountered during these steps. Happy testing!
macOS
Pre-Update: Verify Old Version Files & Functionality
-
Check Installed Files and Locations:
-
VST3 Plugin:
Typically installed in:/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3
-
AAX Plugin:
Typically installed in:/Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins
(If your previous installation used a subfolder here, note it for later verification.) -
Audio Unit (AU) Plugin:
Installed in:/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
Note: The old version may have placed AU files in a subfolder.
-
Presets:
Located in your user Documents folder, for example:~/Documents/SubMission Audio/DoubleTap/Presets
-
Manual:
Located in:~/Documents/SubMission Audio/DoubleTap/Manual
-
VST3 Plugin:
-
Session Testing:
- Open a session in your preferred DAW (e.g., Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools) using the old VST3, AAX, and AU versions.
- Create and save a custom preset (suggest naming it “old version” for easy reference) in the default location.
- Confirm that the plugins load and function as expected.
Note: macOS does not include an uninstaller for this update.
Update: Run the New Installer
-
Run the New Installer.
-
New Installation Locations:
-
Presets & Manual:
Moved to:/Library/Application Support/SubMission Audio/DoubleTap/Presets
/Library/Application Support/SubMission Audio/DoubleTap/Manual
-
VST3 Plugin:
Remains in/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3
(or may now be updated within that folder; no new subdirectory is specified). -
AAX Plugin:
Now installed to:/Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/SubMission Audio
(This follows the pattern of segregating files for the new installer.) -
Audio Unit (AU) Plugin:
Installed directly in:/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
(Note: The new installer does not use a subdirectory for AU plugins.)
-
Presets & Manual:
-
Expected Changes Made by the Installer:
-
Presets & Manual Files:
Old presets and manual files from the Documents directory should be moved to the new location and then deleted from the old location. -
Plugin Files:
Old plugin files (VST3, AAX, and AU) are removed from their previous locations so that only the new versions remain in the designated directories.
-
Presets & Manual Files:
Post-Update: Verify Plugin and Preset Functionality
-
Reopen Your Sessions:
- Open the sessions you created earlier.
- Confirm that the plugin loads correctly in all formats (VST3, AAX, and AU).
-
Check Preset Availability:
- Verify that your old presets (e.g., the one named “old version”) appear in the plugin’s preset menu.
-
Test Saving a Preset:
- Save a new preset from within the plugin.
- Confirm that the save dialog defaults to the new location at:
/Library/Application Support/SubMission Audio/DoubleTap/Presets
Summary of What to Look For:
-
File Locations:
Ensure that all old files (plugins, presets, and manuals) exist in their expected locations before the update, and that after running the new installer, everything has moved to the new locations. -
Proper Cleanup:
Confirm that the installer has deleted the old preset/manual files from your Documents folder and removed outdated plugin files, leaving only the updated versions in the new directories. -
Functionality:
Verify that your DAW sessions load the plugins correctly in all supported formats (VST3, AAX, and AU), that the old presets are accessible, and that new presets are saved to the new storage location.
Please report any discrepancies or issues you encounter during these steps. Happy testing!
Flatline
For Windows
-
No Data Migration:
There is no old data to move. You can proceed directly with the new installation. -
New Plugin Subdirectory:
The installer now places plugins into dedicated subdirectories. For example, VST3 plugins might be installed into a subfolder like:C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\SubMission Audio
(Similar changes apply for other plugin formats such as AAX or AU.) -
Functionality Testing:
- Open your DAW and load Flatline 2.
- Verify that the plugin loads correctly.
- Test saving and loading presets (if applicable) to ensure everything is functioning as expected.
For macOS
-
Old Data Location:
The previous installation stored data in your ~/Library folder (not in ~/Documents).
(Before updating, you may verify that old data is present in ~/Library/SubMission Audio/Flatline2 or a similar folder.) -
Run the New Installer:
The installer should:- Move any existing data from the old location in ~/Library to the new location.
- Remove the old files after migration.
-
New Plugin Subdirectory:
The new installation now organizes plugin files into dedicated subdirectories within the standard plugin folders. For example:-
VST3:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/SubMission Audio
-
AAX (if applicable):
/Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/SubMission Audio
-
Audio Unit (AU):
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/SubMission Audio
(Note: The exact subdirectory structure may vary slightly, but the key change is that plugins are no longer placed directly in the root of these folders.)
-
VST3:
-
Functionality Testing:
- Open your DAW (e.g., Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools) and load Flatline 2 in its various plugin formats.
- Confirm that the plugin loads correctly.
- Verify that presets (or any additional files like manuals) have been correctly moved to the new location and that new presets are saved there.
General Checklist
-
For Windows:
- Confirm the installer places plugins into the correct subdirectories.
- Test that Flatline 2 loads and functions properly in your DAW.
- Verify preset saving/loading works as expected.
-
For macOS:
- Check that old data from ~/Library is migrated to the new location.
- Verify plugins are now installed in dedicated subdirectories within the standard plugin folders.
- Confirm that Flatline 2 loads correctly in your DAW across all plugin formats.
- Test that presets and any related files are functioning correctly with the new paths.
Please report any discrepancies or issues you encounter during installation and testing. Happy testing!
