Windows may show "Windows protected your PC." This is normal for unsigned installers. Click More info, then Run anyway. Verify the SHA-256 above if you want to confirm the file is untampered.
macOS may say "cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer." Right-click (Control-click) the .pkg file, select Open from the menu, then click Open in the dialog. This only needs to happen once.
AIDIO ships as a single installer that places both required plugins in your VST3 folder. You need both, they work together.
The main plugin. Place this on your master bus. It listens to your full mix in real time and powers the AI analysis and chat interface.
Place this on individual channels, kick, bass, vocals, etc. It feeds stem-level data to AIDIO so the AI can see each element of your mix separately.
Check that your setup meets these requirements before running the installer.
