How many computers can I install Ableton on? I was always told you can only use Ableton from one IP address a time. But I've always questioned this, because what if you have a dynamic IP. Well, you can install Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X on as many Macs as you own. As long as your purchase of FCPX/LPX is tied to your Apple ID account, you can sign into your other Macs with your Apple ID and install FCPX/LPX there.

A – Captain Plugin only supports 64-bit hosts on Mac. So, if your DAW is 32-bit, you won’t be able to see the plugins. On Windows, we support both 32 and 64-bit hosts. However, your DAW may not support 32-bit plugins.
Some DAWs including Studio One Four and Cubase may require your Antivirus to be disabled before installing Captain Plugins. This will prevent them from being blacklisted.

A – Logic introduced dynamic plug-in loading in Logic Pro X 10.4.5, which disables plugins it thinks are not in use. Any software instrument tracks that do not contain MIDI regions are at risk of not loading automatically. We highly recommend disabling this setting on a per project basis by opening File > Project Settings > General, then deselect “Only load plug-ins needed for project playback.” In addition, you can simply select the track to load the plugins.
A – If you are using your plugin in MIDI FX mode, you will not be able to see the sounds tab because is designed to route MIDI to your favorite VST synths. You should be able to see the sounds tab option in the VST and/or AU version.

Captain Plugins and Odesi require an internet connection. This is for a number of reasons. We are able to send out faster updates, ‘hot-fix’ issues and bugs much more quickly, and share code across platforms, giving us more time to spend designing and developing the core functionality of Captain Plugins.
Using cloud-tech means a smaller installation footprint on your computer, since we don’t need to include the masses of music theory and performance data that works behind-the-scenes to make Captain Plugins so effective. In addition, using cloud-tech provides better security for all.

A – We gave Captain Melody a radical overhaul. We redesigned almost every single aspect, to give you the greatest degree of control and customization. The preset patterns have been replaced by a much more powerful, multi-faceted tool for the creation of unique, exciting melodies.

We know some users find it frustrating or difficult to be online while making music. Ultimately, we chose higher-quality results instead of offline functionality. For many reasons, the online model allows us to deliver a better product.
Another reason for the online model is piracy. As a small company, we have to take steps to reduce theft. Requiring a permanent network connection is the most effective way to combat piracy, and comes with the added benefit of improved functionality. Protecting our revenue in turn enables us to keep developing better products and more updates for our customers.
