Sound Laundry™ 2.5 |

Installation - Stand-Alone Version
We deliver Sound Laundry™ and some demo files for testing your
equipment on a CD configured for automatic start-up on current Windows™
systems. As all manufacturers of CD-recording software highly recommend
switching the auto-start feature off (or they do this automatically when
installing their software), the Sound Laundry™ set-up may not start on
your system automatically after inserting the installation CD. In this case
please run setup.exe from the root directory of the Sound Laundry™
CD-ROM.
The setup program offers you an installation path, asks whether it should set up
icons for starting Sound Laundry™ directly from your desktop, and
finally asks for your name and the installation key. Make sure you enter the key
exactly as supplied, as a wrong key will allow you to use Sound Laundry™
in demo mode only. The demo mode (provided only with CD version) expires after
two weeks or after 30 trials. For information purposes a special demo version of
the Sound Laundry™ has also been prepared that is limited to three
minutes processing time and has no file save function (Internet version). During
installation of this
version you will not be asked for a software key. If you decide to remove the
installed desktop icons later, you can safely delete them by clicking once with
the left mouse button and pressing DEL. This will not affect the Sound
Laundry™ program itself. To uninstall Sound Laundry™ completely,
choose uninstall from the start menu or use the add/remove software feature of
Windows. This can be found in the system manager group. If you simply delete the
directory where you installed Sound Laundry™, some entries will remain
in the Windows registry. That may prevent you from installing a later version of
Sound Laundry™. The uninstall program, however, will completely remove
all programs, shortcuts, and registry entries previously installed by the Sound
Laundry™ setup. Only one short demo wave file is copied automatically to
the hard disk during the installation. If you want to use the further wave files
supplied for testing your system, we recommend you copy them from the CD to your
hard disk. This can easily be done with drag-and-drop using the Explorer. Please
note that the demo files take considerable disk space, as they are all recorded
with 44.1KHz / 16-bit stereo, which uses 173 KB per second. If you do not want
to copy the files to your hard disk, you may also try to play them directly from
the CD, although this may cause dropouts and playback may stutter.
Optional PlugIns for Stand-Alone Version
For installing the Sound Laundry™ only one software key is required,
but you may later buy additional PlugIns which are not included in the basic
version. In this case just click on the self extracting file *.exe which
includes the new PlugIn software. You will be asked for entering a specific
software key related to this particular PlugIn. After successful installation
the new PlugIn appears in the PlugIn Station list.
