SCAT SOUNDS / WINDOWS SETUP
Install SCAT Sauce
in Bitwig Studio.
SCAT Sauce is an automatic mastering plugin for Windows x64 VST3. It analyzes the mix playing through your master bus and sets a starting point for EQ, compression, stereo width, color and loudness that you can adjust. This guide covers Bitwig Studio on Windows.
1. Download the Windows installer
Sign in with the account that purchased SCAT Sauce and download the current Windows installer from your account. The same VST3 installer works in every supported Windows DAW.
2. Install with Bitwig Studio closed
Save your project and close Bitwig Studio. Run the installer, which places SCAT Sauce.vst3 in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3, then reopen Bitwig.
3. Scan for the VST3 plugin
Open Settings → Locations → Plug-ins and make sure the VST3 system location is enabled. Bitwig rescans automatically; SCAT Sauce appears in the browser under SCAT Sounds.
4. Put Sauce on the master
Select the Master track and drag SCAT Sauce to the end of its device chain so it processes the finished mix. If activation is requested, choose Activate this computer, sign in with your purchasing account and approve the matching code.
5. Listen, adjust and compare
Play the fullest representative section of your mix and press Listen. When the result appears, adjust anything you like. Use Bypass and Level match to compare fairly, and turn Level match off before a real-time export.
Plugin missing after scanning?
Check that you installed the Windows VST3 build to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 and restarted Bitwig Studio. Load a fresh instance after an update. If it still does not appear, contact support with your plugin version, DAW version, Windows version and the exact scan message. Never send passwords or activation tokens.
