Requirements:
-
Have Pro Tools installed
-
Have Blue Cat's PatchWork installed
(Blue Cat's PatchWork is a software product developed by Blue Cat Audio, which essentially acts as a "universal plug-ins patch bay." It allows users to host multiple third-party Audio Units (AU), VST, or VST3 plug-ins within a single stand-alone application or DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) plug-in instance. This simplifies the management of complex plug-in chains and provides a flexible way to interconnect various audio processing plug-ins without the limitations of a particular DAW's native plug-in hosting capabilities.)
-
Have the Stems plugin downloaded and installed
Steps:
- Open Pro Tools
- Create a new Session with the default configurations
-
Go to Track New and create a new track
-
On the track options, there's a field saying “INSERT A-E”. Click on the first line below that name, and some options will appear to be selected. Choose plug-in Other Blue Cat's patchwork(mono/stereo)
-
Click on the first “+” under the PARALLEL CHAINS text and choose the “Load VST3” option
-
A folder containing all VST3 plugins installed, including the Stems, will open.vst3 plug-in. Load it, and the code validation screen will appear. Follow the instructions on this screen to authenticate your plugin.
