﻿SODA 1.0 - Installing on Windows
================================

SODA (Stream Out DAW Audio) by Delta Sigma: your music software's audio, sent straight
into OBS, with no driver or virtual audio cable.


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
- A VST3 host: Cubase, Nuendo, Reaper, Studio One, Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and most
  others. Pro Tools is not supported.
- OBS Studio, on the same computer.


INSTALLATION
1. First extract this archive: right-click the .zip file, then "Extract All".
2. Quit your music software.
3. Copy the whole SODA.vst3 folder, without opening it, to:
       C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\
   Windows asks for administrator permission: accept.
4. Restart your music software. If it does not find SODA, ask it to rescan its VST3
   plug-ins. SODA is listed under the "Delta Sigma" vendor.


GETTING STARTED
Insert SODA at the end of the chain, on your software's main output or on a bus, and
click "Copy address". In OBS, add a "Browser" source, paste the address into the URL
field and tick "Control audio via OBS". SODA's indicator turns green: OBS is receiving
the audio.


FREE LICENCE AND TRIAL PERIOD
SODA is free: its licence is available at no cost from studiodeltasigma.com. Without a
licence, SODA is fully functional for 14 days, starting from the first time its window is
opened. When the trial ends, no audio is sent to OBS until a licence is activated. The
audio of your music software is never altered, and the end of the trial never interrupts
a live stream in progress.


ACTIVATING YOUR LICENCE
Your licence was sent to you by email after your order; you can also find it in your
account at studiodeltasigma.com. In the SODA window, click the SODA name at the top, or
the trial message at the bottom, to open "About and licence". Paste your key with the
"Paste" button, or drop the .licence file onto it. The licence is stored for your Windows
user account.


PRIVACY
SODA never connects to the internet and never sends any data outside your computer. The
audio is sent to OBS inside the computer only, through a local address (127.0.0.1) that no
other device can reach. Your licence and settings stay on your computer.


UNINSTALLING
Delete the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\SODA.vst3 folder, then restart your host.
To reinstall, you can retrieve your licence from your account at studiodeltasigma.com.
