Before you buy

Installs, licenses and downloads, answered.

Which DAWs do the plugins and vocal presets work in?

Plugins are VST3 and AU, so they load in Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper, Bitwig and GarageBand on Mac and Windows (no AAX for Pro Tools yet). Vocal preset packs include versions for Pro Tools, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Ableton Live, Studio One, Cubase, Reaper, GarageBand, Mixcraft and Cakewalk; each pack page lists the plugins it needs.

How do I get my files?

Right after checkout you receive an email with your download links. Plugins come with a license key; the free TuneDrip Hub installs and activates them on Mac and Windows.

Can I use a plugin on more than one computer?

Yes. Each plugin license activates on 3 computers and includes free 1.x updates. Vocal presets and sample packs need no activation.
