INSTALLATION
------------
1. Close your DAW before copying plugin files.

2. From the extracted package folder, copy the format(s) you want into the
   standard Windows plugin folders:

   VST3 (system-wide, requires administrator):

     Source:      Plugins\VST3\CambridgeChannelStrip.vst3
     Destination: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\CambridgeChannelStrip.vst3

   CLAP (system-wide, requires administrator):

     Source:      Plugins\CLAP\CambridgeChannelStrip.clap
     Destination: C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP\CambridgeChannelStrip.clap

   CLAP (per-user, no administrator needed):

     Source:      Plugins\CLAP\CambridgeChannelStrip.clap
     Destination: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Common\CLAP\CambridgeChannelStrip.clap
                  (i.e. C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\CLAP\)

3. Launch your DAW and run a plugin rescan if needed.

NOTES
-----
  * Administrator rights are required when copying to Program Files. Windows
    will prompt you to allow the copy the first time. If the destination
    folder already contains an older CambridgeChannelStrip.vst3 or
    CambridgeChannelStrip.clap, accept the overwrite to upgrade.
  * Installing both VST3 and CLAP is fine if your host supports both.
  * Use the format your DAW supports best.
  * Until activated with a licence key the plugin runs in demo mode: every
    control is active and there is no time limit, but a 2-second silence
    interruption occurs every 60 seconds and is printed into renders.
  * The user manual and quick start are included in the Documentation folder.

TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
If Cambridge Channel Strip does not appear in your DAW:

  * Confirm the chosen format was copied to the correct plugin folder.
  * Confirm your DAW supports that format on Windows.
  * Run a manual plugin rescan.
  * Restart the DAW.
  * If both formats are installed and your DAW shows duplicates, keep the
    format you prefer and remove the other one.
