Chapter 2.............................Installing soundBlade Options
This chapter describes how to install soundBlade options.
For options such as Sonic Studio Mastering EQ, Quartet DynPEQ, Manual DeClick II, Broadband
DeNoise II, reNOVAtor or NoNOISE 3 to be enabled for use in soundBlade software, the installation
of both an iLok license on your iLok and a Sonic Studio Options File need to be completed.
Running the ‘Install Sonic Studio Options 2.2.mpkg’ located in your soundBlade app folder’s
Sonic Options folder, installs the necessary software for each of these options.
Launching the ‘Install Sonic Studio Options 2.2.mpkg’ guides you through a standard set of
installation dialog boxes. This window will appear at the end of that process:
Select the options you want to install in the Sonic Options Installer Window.
Clicking on the title of each package describes its action.
Select the options that you have installed on your iLok from the list provided, the click Continue.
The Installer places the necessary files to enable your soundBlade options and installs the
necessary option software.
NOTE: Only install (select) options that you have licenses for on your iLok.
Installing options that are not on your iLok will make soundBlade launch very
slowly.
