Question 3

How should I prepare for a recording session?

Accepted Answer

Check your audio interface, input, monitoring and recording level with a short test. Save your project and keep an independent Project Bundle before a long session. The Audio setup and Recording guides explain the controls.

Question 4

Does Dawnamite work with AU or VST3 plug-ins?

Accepted Answer

Dawnamite includes native plug-in hosting. Compatibility depends on the plug-in and format. Check the maker’s requirements and test the controls you need on your setup. Dawnamite is a desktop app, not a standalone AU or VST3 plug-in.

Projects and imported audio can be local. Library content, external maker links, help pages and the update check can use the network. Turn off the automatic update check in Settings → Updates.

Question 6

How can I ask a question or report an issue?

Accepted Answer

Email apps@iacompa.com with your operating system, what you tried and the result. If sharing an image or project, remove private information and use only media you have permission to share. There is no need to send an entire recording.
