START HERE — installing and activating ReStem 2

  1. Download the installer for your platform from your account at restemapp.com (or the trial from the product page).
  2. Run it. On macOS you get AU, VST3, VST, AAX and the standalone app; on Windows VST3, VST, AAX and the standalone.
  3. Open ReStem (plugin or standalone) and log in with your restemapp.com username and password — that’s the activation.
  4. No internet on the studio machine? Post in Help & Support and we’ll walk you through it.

Common first-run notes

  • Pro Tools: use the AAX; ReStem appears under Other.
  • Logic: ReStem runs as a regular AU insert.
  • REAPER: for the deepest integration, add ReStem as a track insert — it also supports ARA2 there.
  • ReStem 2 Core is standalone-only by design — the plugin formats are a Pro feature.
