System Requirements
PhaseMistress is software plug-in for the Digidesign ProTools system. You’ll need to
have at least one decent Macintosh computer (G3 or better. Fastest is bestest) run-
ning OS 9.2 or later and of course you’ll need a copy of Pro Tools version 5.0 or later.
To use PhaseMistress you’ll also need one of those little "iLok" hardware keys, – it’s a
small blue plastic key that looks like this:
If you don’t have an iLok we’ll be
happy to sell you one at a modest
price or you can purchase one
from Digidesign or your favorite
ProTools dealer.
Installing PhaseMistress
Installing PhaseMistress is really pretty easy. First, make sure that you have your
iLok hardware key connected to your computer, and that you have the PhaseMistress
license card handy. Once you’re ready, simply pop the PhaseMistress CD into your
computer’s CD-ROM drive and when the CD icon appears on your screen double-click
the PhaseMistress installer program to start the process.
Follow any instructions included in the installer and at the end of the installation
process you will be prompted to ‘authorize’ PhaseMistress. To do this, carefully
detach the license chip from the license card, and insert the chip into the slot in the
rear of your iLok when prompted to do so by the installation program.
Once installed, a copy of the PhaseMistress™ plug-in will be located in your
Digidesign plug-ins folder along with a cool set of PhaseMistress presets. Finally, a
SoundToys folder will be created in your Applications folder. Please note that if you
already have FilterFreak, our totally cool analog filter box this folder will already be
on your hard drive and PhaseMistress will be placed there. The SoundToys folder con-
tains this manual, as well as other useful documentation and tools that you can read
or ignore depending on your level of patience or interest in reading babbling
things…like this manual.
