For billing questions, a duplicate charge or a refund request, contact jake@scatsounds.com with your SCATSCAT purchase number or Stripe receipt reference and explain what happened. Your purchase number helps us find the record; it does not unlock a download or transfer ownership. Never send card details or passwords. Do not make another purchase to fix an existing payment or download problem.

Close Live, run the same Windows installer used for FL Studio, and reopen Live. In Settings/Preferences → Plug-Ins, turn on Use VST3 Plug-In System Folders and click Rescan. Find SCAT SauceSCAT SAUCE under Plug-Ins → VST3 → SCAT SoundsSCAT SOUNDS. If it is missing, hold Alt while clicking Rescan for a full scan. The installer uses the standard 64-bit VST3 folder. The Windows installer works with Ableton Live.

No. Your SCAT SauceSCAT SAUCE purchase covers the available plugin formats and future included updates. Windows uses VST3 for FL Studio and Ableton. Windows available now. Mac beta v2.5.0 includes AU and VST3 for Apple Silicon and Intel. Mac beta details ↗ In activation-enabled builds, one purchase supports up to two computers across Windows and Mac. Using multiple DAWs on the same computer and OS user shares its activation. Use your purchasing account to manage computers. These account-service limits do not replace the rights in the distributed software license.

Close FL Studio, run SCAT-Sauce-Setup.exe, and reopen FL. Go to Options → Manage plugins, enable Verify plugins and Rescan previously verified plugins, then Find installed plugins. Replace an old instance with a newly loaded SCAT SauceSCAT SAUCE instance.

Play the fullest section of your track with SCAT SauceSCAT SAUCE on the master bus. Press Listen while the audio plays. Fast first pass checks an early result, then continues the longer refinement. After the processing check finishes, keep Bypass off and Amount above zero. For a reference, wait for its filename and “Reference ready,” then play your mix and press Listen.

The current version applies the learned settings to the processing controls. EQ amount scales the learned EQ, while Loudness shows the gain into the maximizer. If the knobs stay unchanged in an older build, install the current version from your account with the DAW closed, then reopen and run Listen again. Keep Bypass off and Amount above zero, then compare at matched loudness. If manual changes still have no audible effect, check that the plugin is activated, audio reaches its input, and your DAW’s effect slot is enabled. Check your installed version ↗

Click the Listen button again while recording, balancing, or loading a reference. It shows Cancel when you hover over it. The previous learned finish stays active. You can start another Listen after the job stops.

A Reference target needs a WAV, AIFF, FLAC, or MP3. Click Choose / drop reference or drag a supported file into the plugin. The filename and status confirm loading. Play your mix and press Listen. Use at least one second of non-silent audio. A failed import keeps your previous reference and finish.

No. The current plugin uses Automatic mode to analyze the playing mix. For your own reference track, open Advanced, select Reference, and choose or drop a supported audio file. Keep your DAW mix playing and press Listen. Reference tone matching uses the longer capture.

Use the Level match button at the top right of the plugin, next to Bypass. It is off by default and adjusts listening volume for comparison. Project reopen resets it off, and offline exports ignore it. Disable it for real-time exports.

Press Play, raise your device’s media volume, and check its audio output. Open “Can’t hear it? Use the standard player” beneath the comparison for the browser’s audio controls. Replay restarts the excerpt; Loop repeats the full 30 seconds while you switch versions. Match loudness starts off, so you hear the full-level render. Turn it on to lower processed playback to the original’s loudness. The Level slider changes both together; on iPhone, use your device volume buttons. The full-level render is also available to download.

The mastering filters and lookahead need a small processing delay: about 25 ms at 48 kHz. Keep your DAW’s plugin delay compensation enabled. Bypass keeps the original audio aligned with that delay for comparison. When recording vocals or instruments you monitor live, use a monitoring path without SCAT SauceSCAT SAUCE, then add it back to finish your mix.

SCAT SauceSCAT SAUCE is a Windows x64 VST3 effect. Compatible with FL Studio, Ableton Live, Cubase, REAPER, and Bitwig Studio on Windows. Contact support if your DAW or computer has an issue.

After installing, load a fresh SCAT SauceSCAT SAUCE instance and choose Activate this computer. Open your account from the plugin, sign in with the account used at checkout, compare the displayed code and approve the computer. Return to SauceSAUCE and wait for activation to finish before using Listen or the processing controls. Each purchase supports two computers. If the code expires, start a new request inside the plugin. If no purchase appears, check your sign-in account or contact support; do not buy again. Manage existing computers under Account settings → Plugin computers.

Sign in or create an account before checkout. After Stripe confirms payment, the purchase appears in that account automatically. Always use the same sign-in account to download. A receipt link cannot move a purchase to another account. For an older unlinked purchase, contact support with your Stripe receipt; do not purchase again.

SCAT SauceSCAT SAUCE updates are included with your purchase. When a new version is available, download its installer from your account or your original purchase confirmation page. Close your DAW and run the installer over the existing installation; no separate uninstall is needed for the standard installation. Reopen your DAW and run a verified plugin rescan. Customers who opt into SCAT SoundsSCAT SOUNDS emails receive update announcements. You can get an update whenever you are ready to install it; the plugin does not silently update during a session.
