We have thoroughly tested on the following hosts, and can guarantee full performance: Pro Tools, Ableton Live and Reaper
The following hosts have been tested, but you may experience some issues: Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo and Studio One
Any other DAWs or host software are not supported at this time. You may find that the plugin works as expected, but if you have issues please contact support. We will expand full support for other hosts in due course.
Can I use Krotos Studio with video software?
Yes, can drag and drop sound effects from Krotos Studio into video software. This has been tested with Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X, and Vegas, and should apply to all other video editing software.
Why does Krotos Studio only include a few presets and categories of SFX?
This is just the first step for Krotos Studio as a larger product. As we expand and develop it, more use cases and presets will be covered over time.
Is Krotos Studio multi channel / surround compatible?
Krotos Studio supports multiple stereo channel output in all supported hosts. Check our tutorials and the manual for more details. The plugin does not support 5.1 or other surround formats at this time, but the stereo outputs from the plugin can easily be used as part of a surround mix.
Can you run Krotos Studio as a mono plugin?
At this time Krotos Studio is stereo only.
Can I automate the parameters in Krotos Studio?
Yes! It behaves like most other audio plugins, just add parameters to automation as you would with any other plugin.
I can’t paste my activation key into the activation window in Reaper? How can I activate the plugin?
This is a restriction within Reaper for copy-pasting into these types of popup windows. A simple workaround is to right click in the licence key area and select paste, once you have copied your licence key from your account or from an email you’ve received from us.
I’m activating the plugin, but the activation process fails.
When activating Krotos Studio, please make sure that you do not have any VPN, firewall or antivirus software running as this may block the activation process.
Why are the assets in the Free version of Krotos Studio downsampled to 44.1 khz/16 bit?
Since we are allowing everyone to access this version of Krotos Studio, we want to keep the download size as small as possible. Higher resolution versions of all audio assets will be available in future versions of the product.
Can I add my own sounds in Krotos Studio?
Not at this time. In this version of Krotos Studio only the factory presets can be used. We aim to include this functionality and control in the future.
What are the minimum system requirements?
Krotos Studio software requires:
A Mac Intel computer with a minimum of 2.4 GHz Intel Dual Core Processor, 4 GB of RAM and the operating system OS X 10.13, or later.
Or, a Windows computer with a minimum of 2.4 GHz Intel Dual Core Processor, 4 GB of RAM, and the operating system Windows 10 or above.
My Licence Key is invalid!
This error can occur for a few reasons. Can you please make sure that you do not have any active Firewall, Antivirus or VPN (including browser extensions) running while trying to active Krotos Studio.
If the activation still fails then I would recommended trying to activate the Standalone version instead. This should also activate the plugin versions.
