Installation
------

Step 1 — Copy the files
------

Standalone app:
Copy Neural Analog.app to /Applications/

VST3 plug-in:
Use VST3 with DAWs that load VST3 plug-ins, such as Ableton Live, Cubase, Nuendo, Studio One, REAPER, Bitwig Studio, FL Studio, and Waveform.
Copy Neural Analog.vst3 to ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/
Copy Neural Analog.vst3 to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/

Audio Unit plug-in:
Use AU with GarageBand, Logic Pro, MainStage, or another macOS Audio Unit host.
Copy Neural Analog.component to ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/
Copy Neural Analog.component to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/

AAX plug-in:
Use AAX only if you use Pro Tools.
Copy Neural Analog.aaxplugin to /Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/

Step 2 — Allow security permissions if needed
------

macOS will show a security warning the first time you open the standalone app or the first time your DAW scans the plug-in.

1. Open System Settings.
2. Go to Privacy & Security.
3. Scroll to the Security section.
4. Click Allow Anyway or Open Anyway for Neural Analog.
5. Open the app again, or restart your DAW and rescan plug-ins.

This is expected for some alpha or early-access builds.

VST3 troubleshooting:
If the previous technique does not work, use this to sign the VST3 after copying the files to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/:

sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Neural Analog.vst3"
sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Neural Analog.vst3"
codesign --verify --deep --strict --verbose=2 "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Neural Analog.vst3"

Step 3 — Restart, rescan, and enjoy
------

Restart your DAW or plug-in host.
Rescan plug-ins if Neural Analog does not appear automatically.
Load Neural Analog as a standalone app, VST3, AU, or AAX depending on your install.

Enjoy!
