What are the conventions and requirements for user names?

The user name is the name you provided during purchase, or when entering your redeem code. Typically, your user name will simply be your regular name.

If you wish to not have your full name displayed when the plugin is first loaded, e.g. because you want to use the plugin in videos or live streams, then you have multiple options.

  • The name disappears once you load a preset. Simply load a preset before the stream starts.

  • Alternatively, save a project file that you load in your DAW, which contains the plugin with a preset already loaded.

  • Or use your host’s function to save a default preset for the plugin, so it gets loaded whenever you load the plugin.

If none of these options are sufficient for you, then please contact us and we will provide you with an alternative user name of your choice.

Note: There are some conventions a user name must fulfill to be valid:

  • The name must consist of at least two words, with a combined minimum of five characters.

  • Valid characters contain umlaut characters (ä, ö, ü) as well as pretty much any other UTF-8 compatible symbols.

  • Special characters like dots, dashes, at-symbols (.,-@) and numbers are valid characters, but they do not count towards the five character minimum. You are welcome to use your company or artist name, as long as it satisfies the above requirements.

Examples of valid user names:

  • John Doe
  • John D
  • A N0NyM0US€
  • Anonymous Inc.
  • J0hnny 5
  • ゴリラ クジラ

Examples of invalid user names:

  • J – only one word
  • Johnny – only one word
  • J Doe – fewer than five valid characters
  • John @ – fewer than five valid characters
  • J D1O2E3 – fewer than five valid characters
  • @ @@@@ – no valid characters at all
  • 1 2345 – no valid characters at all
