INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Run the Installer
Download the .pkg file and double-click it. The installer places AU and VST3 files in the correct system locations automatically — no manual file copying required.
Signed & notarized by Apple — the installer runs cleanly with no security warnings and no "Open Anyway."
2. Choose Your Formats
The installer lets you pick AU (Logic, GarageBand, Ableton), VST3 (Ableton, Reaper, Bitwig, FL Studio), and the Standalone app. Install takes a few seconds.
3. Open Your DAW
Restart your DAW and find the plugin in your effects list under Remi Blaze.
- Logic Pro: Audio Effects > Remi Blaze > Torchit
- Ableton Live: Plugins > Audio Effects > VST3 > Torchit
- Reaper: FX > VST3 > Torchit
If the plugin doesn't appear, force a plugin rescan in your DAW preferences. See the FAQ below for DAW-specific steps.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
macOS SECURITY
No. Every Remi Blaze plugin is signed and notarized by Apple, so the installer runs cleanly — no "developer cannot be verified" prompt, no Privacy & Security step, no "Open Anyway." Just download the .pkg, double-click, and install.
Yes. The plugins are built by Remi Blaze (Empellex Inc., Ontario, Canada), signed and notarized by Apple, distributed via GitHub Releases, and installed only to standard macOS plugin directories. No telemetry, no network calls, no background processes. The plugins do exactly one thing: process audio.
INSTALLATION & COMPATIBILITY
Download the .pkg installer and run it. It installs AU and VST3 files to the correct system locations automatically — no manual file copying needed. Then restart your DAW. See the full installation guide above.
Try these steps in order:
- Verify plugin files are in the correct system folders (not your user folder)
- Completely quit and restart your DAW (not just close the window)
- Force a plugin rescan in your DAW's preferences
- Try running the Standalone version to verify the plugin works on your system
All Remi Blaze plugins work with any AU or VST3 compatible DAW on macOS, including:
- Ableton Live 11+
- Logic Pro
- Reaper
- Bitwig Studio
- FL Studio (macOS)
- Cubase / Nuendo
- Studio One
- Any other AU or VST3 host
Each plugin also includes a Standalone application that works without a DAW.
Yes. All Remi Blaze plugins are Universal Binaries that run natively on both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs. No Rosetta translation is required — the plugins run at full native performance on all supported hardware.
To remove a plugin:
- Delete the
.componentfile from/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ - Delete the
.vst3file from/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/ - Optionally, delete saved presets from
~/Library/Application Support/RemiBlaze/[PluginName]/ - Restart your DAW
Factory presets are built into the plugin binary — they're always available and can't be accidentally deleted.
User presets saved via the plugin's preset save/load feature are stored as .preset files in:
~/Library/Application Support/RemiBlaze/[PluginName]/Presets/
You can share preset files with other users by copying these files. To back up your presets, copy this entire folder.
