~ How to install MiGiC Evo for Windows ~~
This release consists of four files:
* Install MiGiC Evo.exe - Installer
* MiGiC Evo.dll - 32 bit VST
* MiGiC Evo.exe - Standalone
* MiGiC Evo64.dll - 64 bit VST
There are two ways to install MiGiC Evo for Windows.
1. (Preferred way) Run the installer (Install MiGiC Evo.exe)
- Simply double click Install MiGiC Evo.exe and follow the
instructions provided by the installer.
- If this for some reason fails, you have the possibility to
install the software using option 2. (see below)
2. Manually place the standalone and the plugins on your disk.
- The standalone version (MiGiC Evo.exe) can be placed anywhere on you disk
- Place the VSTs in a folder where your DAW expects them;
-- This folder is usually C:\Program Files(x86)\Steinberg\ for
32 bits (MiGiC Evo.dll) and C:\Program Files\Steinberg\
for 64 bits (MiGiC Evo64.dll)
~ Starting MiGiC for the first time ~~
1. Standalone
- The first time you start the standalone version you may encounter a warning message
like "Windows protected your PC" and the application doesn't open. In this case click on
"More info" and the click "Run anyway". It's safe!
- If you have incompatible plugins installed on your PC, MiGiC may crash a few times in order
to get through the validation of your plugins. Don't panic, MiGiC will start when it has run through
all your plugins (which may take a few restarts).
- IMPORTANT: Make sure you have the correct audio settings!
-- Click on "Options" (top right corner) and then "Audio device settings". Here, you definitely want to
use "Audio device type" "ASIO" and a "Device" that supports ASIO.
I cannot stress this enough as this crucial in order to get realtime audio working in Windows!
On the same topic, make sure that you use a low "Audio buffer size" such as 32, 64 or 128.
2. VSTs
- Make sure that the plugins (MiGiC Evo.dll and/or MiGiC Evo64.dll) are placed in your system VST folder.
This folder must also be the same folder that your host/DAW/audio software looks for plugins in.
Otherwise, your host/DAW/audio software WILL NOT be able to run MiGiC.
- The next step is to find MiGiC in your host/DAW/audio software and apply it to an AUDIO track.
- After that you need to figure out how your host/DAW/audio software expects the MIDI to be routed.
Depending on host/DAW/audio software, this can be tricky and unfortunately the procedure differs
between different hosts/DAWs/audio software. There are some tutorials avaliable for some DAWs on
our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClOjCrjw52gkd2S9HTGuPPw
- Note on FL Studio and Reason: There are currently no way of routing MIDI from audio tracks to
instrument tracks for these DAWs, instead you can install https://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/rtpmidi.html
and route the MIDI to a virtual MIDI port (MIDI panel of MiGiC). Then, let your software instrument tracks
listen to MIDI from the virtual MIDI port.
~ Tips and tricks ~~
1. IMPORTANT: Please make sure that you are running a low buffer size such as 32, 64 or 128 for e.g. 44.1khz.
In all other cases you WILL experience latency due to the time it takes for the audio to reach MiGiC before
the processing can be started.
2. Start with the default preset and make small changes to the parameters.
3. Guitar to MIDI conversion always comes with a tradeoff between accuracy and latency. In MiGiC Evo this can be
controlled by the user through the confidence knob. A low level gives lower latency, however, you need to play
cleaner and more distinct in order to get accurate results. On the other hand a high value lets you play sloppier
and still get accurate results, however, with higher latency.
