================================================================================

Thank you for installing Smith Island EQ.

SUPPORTED FORMATS
-----------------
  * VST3
  * CLAP

WHAT'S IN THIS PACKAGE
----------------------
Depending on the edition you downloaded, this zip may contain:
  * SmithIslandEQ.vst3
  * SmithIslandEQ.clap
  * SmithIslandEQ_Release_Notes.txt
  * SmithIslandEQ_Quick_Start_v1.1.pdf
  * SmithIslandEQ_User_Manual_v1.1.pdf

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

2. Copy the plugin format you want:

   VST3:
   C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\

   CLAP per-user:
   C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\CLAP\

   CLAP system-wide:
   C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP\

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

NOTES
-----
  * Administrator rights may be required when copying to Program Files.
  * Installing both VST3 and CLAP is fine if your host supports both.
  * Use the format your DAW supports best.

TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
If Smith Island EQ does not appear in your DAW:

  * Confirm the plugin was copied to the correct folder.
  * Confirm you installed the correct architecture for your system.
  * Run a manual plugin rescan.
  * Restart the DAW.

If the plugin loads but emits a short white-noise burst every 60 seconds,
that is the trial reminder. Open the License panel from the in-plugin menu
and enter your licence key to remove it.
