How to install Ascension on your PC or Mac:

We recommend downloading to your PC's 'Documents' (or another disk partition / Hard Drive - SSD recommended. Mac users we recommend: User > Music > Audio Music Apps) folder to avoid any permissions issues. You can move your Data Library at a later date if your Home drive is short of space.
Unzip your download/s ensuring you encounter no errors.
Ascension’s installer application will prompt you agree with the software license, after this step select which plugins you would like to install, and your VST3 plugins directory (PC only, Mac locations are fixed).

Once the installer has completed we recommend that you restart your PC or Mac.

Once installed, open an instance of Ascension in your 64-Bit DAW, you will then be prompted to locate your ‘data’ library folder.
