How to install TAL freeware plug-ins without an installer...

Most of our older freeware plug-ins do not have an installer. You need to copy the files manually to the right location. You will find more information about the installation in the TAL-NoiseMaker documentation:

Plugin not recognized by Ableton Live

Sometimes Ableton Live does not scan new installed plugins. Please try to disable and re-enable plugin support in ableton live preferences -> Files and Folders.

Ableton Live ignores automation when exporting wav

This happens only on a few systems. We currently don't know why. A possible fix is to macro the parameter to automate, and automate the macro.

Logic X cutoff value changes after loading session

Some available presets have an unlucky MIDI controller assigned to the cutoff frequency. Logic sets that value when loading a session. Choose "Clear MIDI mapping" from the plugins menu (click at the preset name on the top) and save the project. The problem should disappear after that.

Can not find the plugins in Pro Tools

Most of our plugins are stereo only. Please have a look under stereo effects / instruments.

Clicks and Pops in Studio One

Please make sure you have disabled MIDI Output in the plug-in settings.

MIDI Mapping

Our plugins save the MIDI mappings in the preset information and keeps them until another preset is loaded that overwrites the mapping. No other preset does overwrite the setting when "Keep MIDI Mapping" is active. A default preset with a default mapping is a good solution if you want to reuse the same mapping.

License transferes

License transfers are possible if you bought the plugin in our own web shop. Licenses can be transferred free of charge after 9 months of ownership.
Premature transfers are only possible for a fee of $10. We will send you a Paypal invoice in this case and transfer the license after the payment was done.
Please contact us directly (support@tal-software.com) with your Paypal email address to prove your ownership. We need the full name and the email address of the new owner.
