Step-by-Step Installation
- Download and unzip your master preset pack from your Rys Up Audio account.
-
Place the master presets in this folder:
/Users/[yourusername]/Music/Audio Music Apps/Patches/Output
Note: This is the Output folder, not the Audio folder (which is for vocal presets). - Open Logic Pro or GarageBand.
- In the top left menu bar, click Track > Show Output Track (Logic) or Show Master Track (GarageBand).
- Select the Master/Output Track in your project.
- Open the Library by clicking the button in the workspace's upper-left corner (or press "Y" on your keyboard).
- Navigate to User Patches and select your master preset.
- Enjoy!
Video Reference
The video below shows the process for vocal presets, not master presets. The general process is similar, but there are key differences as described in the steps above (Output folder instead of Audio folder, master track instead of audio track).

- If you can't find your "Music" folder, click anywhere on your desktop and press Command + Shift + H to bring up your Home folder — the Music folder should be here.
- Getting a "too many channels" error on a regular track? Master presets can only be applied to master/output tracks, not regular audio tracks. Follow the steps above to show and select the output track.
