Installation Verification

Method 1: Verifying Plugins via Track Insert

This is the most direct way to verify whether the Eclipsa Audio Plugins have been installed correctly.

1. Open Avid Pro Tools.

2. Create a New Session or Open an Existing Session.

3. Add an Audio Track:

• Click Track > New > Mono or Stereo Audio Track, depending on your project setup.

4. Access the Insert Slots:

• In the Mix or Edit window, find the Insert slot (usually on the left side of the track channel strip).

5. Select the Plugin:

• Click on an empty Insert slot.

• From the drop-down list, navigate through the plugin categories (e.g., Multi-Channel Plug-In or Sound Field) to find the Eclipsa Audio Renderer or Eclipsa Audio Element Plugin.

  
• For Eclipsa Audio Renderer to get the plugin firstly, navigate to your Mix Bus track or create a new Aux Input track to act as your master bus.

• Set the track width to 5th order ambisonics to support 3D audio monitoring as shown below.

  

6. Verify:

• If the plugin appears in the list and loads when selected, it has been installed correctly.

  

Method 2: Managing Plugins via AudioSuite

1. Open Avid Pro Tools.

2. Click on AudioSuite in the top menu bar:

3. Click on Instrument to find the Eclipsa Audio Renderer as below

4. Click on Sound Field to find the Eclipsa Audio Element as below

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

1. Open REAPER

2. Create a new project or open an existing project

3. On the Master track select the "FX" button

   

4. Select All Plugins --> VST3

5. 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.

Verify Via Logic Pro Plug-In Manager

1. Open Logic Pro (either create a new project or open an existing one)

2. From the menu bar, select Logic Pro → Settings → Plug-in Manager

3. In the Plug-in Manager window, you can view all installed plugins organized by manufacturer

4. In the left sidebar under "Manufacturer", look for and select Eclipsa Project

5. 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)

6. Check that both plugins show "successfully validated" in the Compatibility column

7. If the plugins don't appear or show validation issues, click Reset & Rescan Selection to force Logic Pro to rescan for plugins

   

Alternative Method - Using Plugins in Logic Pro

1. Create a new audio track or select an existing one

2. In the Channel EQ/Insert section of the track, click on an empty insert slot

3. 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

4. If the plugins load successfully, they are properly installed and validated
