Introduction 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.
