﻿SODA 1.0 - Installing on Mac
============================

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
- macOS 11 Big Sur or later, on a Mac with Apple silicon or an Intel processor.
- A VST3 or Audio Unit host: Logic Pro, 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. Quit your music software.
2. Double-click SODA-1.0.2-macOS.pkg. The installer is signed and notarized by Apple.
3. Follow the installer: accept the licence agreement, then confirm with the password of an
   administrator of this Mac.
4. Restart your music software. If it does not find SODA, ask it to rescan its plug-ins;
   in Logic Pro, the Audio Unit is validated automatically at first launch. SODA is listed
   under the "Delta Sigma" vendor.

The installer copies the plug-in in VST3 and Audio Unit formats:
  /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/SODA.vst3
  /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/SODA.component


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 user
account on this Mac.


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 two files listed under "Installation", then restart your host.
To reinstall, you can retrieve your licence from your account at studiodeltasigma.com.
