Installation on MacOS

Glaid installer is signed and notarized by Apple to certify it safe, and so should install without problems. It will install both Audio Unit (AU) as well as VST3 versions by default. In addition presets will be installed.

AU plugins are installed in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/

VST3 plugins are installed in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/

Presets are installed in /Library/Application Support/Tsuga/Glaid/ and user presets in /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Tsuga/Glaid/.

Installation on Windows

Windows installer is code signed with an IV certificate for Antony Butterfield. It may still cause a Windows SmartScreen popup due to this software being new - it takes a while for Microsoft to recognise and trust new vendors. This does not mean it is not safe. Please install with confidence. The following screenshots show what you should expect.
