DOWNLOADING & INSTALLING
If you are a total newbie to this kind of thing you can get up to speed here:
http://www.spitfireaudio.com/info/basics/
First though, grab the ‘Spitfire Audio App’ from this link, this app will enable
you to download the library: http://www.spitfireaudio.com/info/library-manager/
THE SPITFIRE AUDIO APP
When you launch the app you will be
prompted to login using the same details
you use at our site. Then you’ll see the page
pictured below:
1. TABS the default tab is My Products, which
shows all of the libraries on your Spitfire
Account. Downloads will show currently
downloading products and Preferences
allows you to set default locations and

behaviours as described on the next page.
2. FILTERS clicking these filters will quickly
display products you’ve yet to install, those
already installed, and any available updates.
Clicking again will remove the filter.
3. LIBRARY All libraries and plugins in your
collection will appear with their artwork on
the My Products tab. Clicking this artwork
will open the product page. This is a great
place to find information such as system
requirements and instructions as well as
where to find Reset and Repair options.
4. INSTALL/UPDATE buttons allow you to
quickly start a download directly from the My
Products tab, instead of clicking through to
the Library. Next to the button the size of the
download is shown, you will need twice as
much available space to allow the download
to unzip correctly.

THE SPITFIRE APP PREFERENCES
If this is your first time using the Spitfire
Audio App for a download you may wish to
first navigate to the Settings tab. Here you
can set the Default Content location as the
location where you wish to download your
libraries too. Also you can set the default
VST2 install location to the folder where your
DAW expects to find VST files.
Here you can also enable Auto Login to save
time in future.
Once you are happy with your preferences,
simply click the Install button for the library.
This is either directly on My Products tab
under the library artwork, or it can be found
by clicking on the library image and clicking
the install button on the page that appears.
Clicking either of these will prompt you for a
location, the default content location in your
preferences will be suggested but you can
select any suitable location.
Once you are happy with the location click
Download.
After clicking download you will be directed
to the Downloads tab where you can watch
the progress if you like. You can of course
leave the Downloads tab and start other
downloads but at this point you should leave
the Spitfire App open until the download
completes.

THE DEDICATED PLUGIN

the parameter rather than being permanently
assigned to the knob.
