Doesn’t install
Yep. The most complex, obscure and bizarre thing I’ve ever seen and for such a simple plugin. Double clicking on the packages (AU, VST3, etc) doesn’t do anything: they won’t open and come up with error messages.Then there a bunch of weird text files that seem to have no relevance, at all, to installing it. I’ve tried and redownloaded many times, but the same every time.
Same here
That’s weird,it works fine for me.
I tried it on two different Macs: a Mac Studio M2 Ultra and a late-2012 iMac. The same, negative results on both. I can only conclude you are using Windows and that the Mac version is somehow corrupted….
Method on window computer
When you download, there is vst3(or aax) -> plug-in file. copy that file.
Go to C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\VST3.
Make Mixland folder (C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\VST3\\Mixland)
Paste the plug-in file. Now go to daw and check the plugin installed completely
