Installation Verification
Follow these steps to ensure plugin installation was successful.
Method 1: Verifying Plugins via Track Insert
Below are two methods for verifying successful installation of both the Audio Element Plugin and Audio Renderer Plugin. The "Mix Bus" will refer to an Aux Input track for monitoring the output of your session.
1. Open Avid Pro Tools.
2. Create a New Session or Open an Existing Session.
3. Add an Audio Track:
Select Track > New > Mono or Stereo Audio Track, depending on your project setup.
4. Access the Insert Slots on the track:
In the Mix or Edit window, find the Insert slot (usually on the left side of the track channel strip).
5. Select the plugin:
Select an empty Insert slot.
To access the Audio Element Plugin, navigate to the insert drop-down list, and select either the plugin Categories (e.g., Multi-Channel Plug-In or Sound Field) or Manufacturers (Avid, Eclipsa Project) to find the Eclipsa Audio Element Plugin.
To access the Audio Renderer, navigate to an existing Mix Bus aux track or create a new Aux Input track for use as the mix bus.
Set the Mix Bus / aux track's width to 5th Order Ambisonics to support 3D audio monitoring as shown below.
Locate the Audio Renderer within the Instrument category or under the Eclipsa Project manufacturer category:
6. Verify:
If both plugins appear in the plugin list and load when selected, they have been installed correctly.
Method 2: Managing Plugins via AudioSuite
1. Open Avid Pro Tools.
2. Click on AudioSuite in the top menu bar:
3. Select Instrument or Eclipsa Project to find the Eclipsa Audio Renderer:
4. Select Sound Field or Eclipsa Project to find the Eclipsa Audio Element:
Note: This method does not provide full plugin management (like enabling or disabling plugins), but it does help verify that the plugin has loaded and is available for use.
Confirm Availability Via FX
Open REAPER
Create a new project or open an existing project
On the Master track select the "FX" button
Select FX Select All Plugins --> VST3
Confirm that the "VST3: Eclipsa Audio Element Plugin (Eclipsa Project)" and "VST3: Eclipsa Audio Renderer (Eclipsa Project)" are present
Verify Via Audio Plug-In Manager
1. Open Adobe Premiere Pro, either opening an existing project or starting a new project
2. If the created project does not have a Sequence, create one: File --> New --> Sequence...
3. Open the Audio Track Mixer window for any existing Sequence: Window --> Audio Track Mixer --> Sequence Name
4. In the Audio Track Mixer window, click the hamburger button in the top right corner and select "Audio Plug-In Manager"
5. In the "Audio Plug-In Manager" select "Scan for Plug-Ins"
6. Verify the "Eclipsa Audio Element Plugin" and "Eclipsa Audio Renderer" are listed in the table with Status "Working", typically at the bottom of the list.
Open Logic Pro (either create a new project or open an existing one)
From the menu bar, select Logic Pro → Settings → Plug-in Manager
In the Plug-in Manager window, you can view all installed plugins organized by manufacturer
In the left sidebar under "Manufacturer", look for and select Eclipsa Project
Verify that the Eclipsa plugins are listed in the main table as shown in below image:
"Eclipsa Audio Element Plugin for Logic Pro" (Type: effect)
"Eclipsa Audio Renderer for Logic Pro" (Type: effect)
Check that both plugins show "successfully validated" in the Compatibility column
If the plugins don't appear or show validation issues, click Reset & Rescan Selection to force Logic Pro to rescan for plugins
From menu bar select Logic Pro → Settings → Plug-in Manager
Alternative Method - Using Plugins in Logic Pro
Create a new audio track or select an existing one
In the Channel EQ/Insert section of the track, click on an empty insert slot
Navigate through the plugin menu hierarchy to find your Eclipsa plugins:
Audio Units → Manufacturer: Eclipsa Project → Eclipsa Audio Element Plugin for Logic Pro
Audio Units → Manufacturer: Eclipsa Project → Eclipsa Audio Renderer for Logic Pro
If the plugins load successfully, they are properly installed and validated
