Installation Verification | Eclipsa Audio Plugins documentation

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.
