Plugin Licenses

[lesbrunn]

Hi,

Is it necessary to have plugins installed on both computers or only on the server? If it's both, then one has to have multiple licenses per plugin?

Just the machine you're running the Audiogridder server application on.

Thanks. What about AAX plugins? What would their location be?

[lesbrunn]

Hi guys,
I'm still not certain where AAX plugins should go. I don't think Pro Tools can access them if they are not in their default location. So how does AudioGridder handle AAX?

[lesbrunn]

Would it be impossible to take Avid's AAX only plugins and give the load to AG?

No, as I said, you can only access VST/AU through AG. So your plugins have to be available in non AAX formats.

[lesbrunn]

OK, got it. Even though I haven't yet used AG, I will when I have the time to set it up. I do use VE Pro and even though it works well, I see AG as a more hassle-free approach because you don't need multiple keyboards and mice. You are doing a tremendous job for free, and I will donate as soon as I set AG up and get it working. Would you consider writing a comprehensive manual to cover all aspects of the setup?

[apohl79]

Sounds good! I try to keep the documentation up to date on the website. But tbh, it is not easy to write a manual for non-developers, because I think the website covers all important aspects - but obviously it does not. So consider this being WIP. We will probably have at least a FAQ page at some point that should cover most common issues.

Thanks again bro. More grease!
