Common Issues

Plugin doesn't appear in my DAW

Run a plugin rescan in your DAW's preferences. Verify the published format at its standard location: macOS VST3: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/; macOS AU: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/; macOS AAX: /Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins/; macOS CLAP: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/; Windows VST3: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Pressure.vst3.

License activation fails

Sign in to Weather Station with your purchasing account. Open Account and check Your Licenses. If a product is missing, confirm the account and choose Refresh Licenses. Choose Manage beside a product to review its activated machines. If the installed plugin still asks for activation, contact support with its exact message. If you have reached 3 activations, deactivate an old machine first or contact support.

High CPU usage

Check the session sample rate and buffer size first. Use Realtime oversampling while working and Offline only for final renders. If the issue remains, disable optional high-cost processing and compare again in the same session.

Audio dropouts or clicks

Increase your DAW's buffer size (256 or 512 samples is usually sufficient). If using oversampling, try switching from Offline to Realtime mode.
