Nothing wrong with MacOS trying to be secure but at least it should give the user an easy way to bypass it when the user wants so but MacOS doesn't do that. This is because MacOS Sierra and up heavily distrusts 3rd party apps and MacOS Sierra puts all extracted files from a downloaded zip package into quarantine by default. Practically the standard location is System Disk/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VSTĭue to some new security 'feature' in MacOS Sierra called 'GateKeeper Path Randomization' it may be that on plugin in MUX Modular it alerts 'Can't find app sub-folder' or 'Folder is not writable'. Theoretically you can put the MUX Modular Plug-In folder anywhere you want as long as it's on a writable location. Therefore it's best that the user settings are store inside the MUX Modular folder and thus this folder must be writable. The good thing about that is that your MUX Modular installation is easily movable, and can be put on your USB stick for example.Īnother advantage is that you can have multiple independent MUX Modular installations on the same system, for example different versions of MUX. The reason for this is that MUX Modular stores your user settings in a couple of files in MUX/User/Settings. This is to avoid access problems caused by Windows' UAC mechanism. On Windows 7/8, it may be better not to install the MUX Modular folder under the 'Program Files' folder, but rather in a non UAC protected folder like C:/VstPlugins/MuTools/MUX. Of course it also depends on the host application if that is also that flexible. You can even put it on a USB stick and carry your MUX Plug-In with you. You can move the MUX Modular Plug-In folder after you have installed it. It does not install anything on your system outside this folder. MUX Modular Plug-In comes as a self-containing folder. Then move the resulting folder into your preferred VST plug-ins folder. In MuLab, MUX Modular is completely integrated.ĭownload the MUX Modular Plug-In zip package and unzip it to a new folder. The below installation info only applies to the MUX Modular Plug-In version.
