Installation help.

Install it

Mac. Open the Flaire installer, click Continue and enter your Mac password. It puts the AU and VST3 in your plug-in folders. Needs macOS 11 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.

Windows. Run the Flaire setup file. It puts the VST3 in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3. Needs 64-bit Windows 10 or later.

Then restart your DAW if it was open, so it finds Flaire.

Find it in your DAW

Common snags

Flaire doesn’t show up. Restart the DAW, then follow the rescan step for your DAW above. On Mac, check you’re on macOS 11 or later.

The list is empty or says you’re offline. Flaire needs the internet the first time it opens. After that, vocals you’ve downloaded or played before work offline.

Sign in didn’t finish. Keep the browser tab open until it says you’re connected, then go back to Flaire. If it times out, click Sign in again.

Windows says it protected your PC. Click More info, then Run anyway. You’ll only see this until our Windows installer finishes building trust with Microsoft.
