Mac feature differences and validation notes
The Apple-silicon installer includes the standalone app, VST3 and AU instruments. The current release includes the compact workflow, role-aware Find Gold, scoring preset import/export and WHY THIS evidence. EXPORT / DRAG supports rendered flips, MIDI, individual chops and chop kits. Playback and WAV/MIDI export are available during the full-feature 14-day trial. Activate a purchased CrateGhost key to continue after the trial. Live receipt-key acceptance and third-party DAW qualification remain untested in this website audit. The current Mac PKG includes the standalone app, VST3 and Audio Unit for Logic Pro. Open the signed, notarized installer, then restart the DAW. The plug-ins install for the current logged-in Mac user in ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins. Restart and rescan your DAW in that account; check the new per-user plug-ins before removing older system-wide copies. See the product guide for the correct plug-in slot.
