Prism Product Manager Overview

Here you'll find detailed documentation for Prism Product Manager, our installation hub for all things Prism Studio and Lumasonic.


Important Prerequisites

Before installing Prism Product Manager, it is vital to run Prism Cleaner if you have ever installed a previous Prism release. This will ensure a clean starting point, free of leftover files and directories from all previous beta releases, as the file structure has changed significantly.


Requirements

The requirements for running all Prism Studio plug-ins are listed below. All plug-ins are in the VST3 format and must be run within a supporting DAW.

Windows System Requirements

  • Windows 10 64 bit
  • See your DAW's minimum system specs

macOS System Requirements

  • macOS 64 bit (Intel or M1/M2) version 10.15.7 or later
  • See your DAW's minimum system specs

NOTE: macOS native DAWs such as Logic often only support AudioUnit plug-ins natively, but you can use a VST3 wrapper product to utilize Prism Studio tools within them. Alternatively, we suggest continuing your music production in your macOS DAW of choice, and then utilizing Reaper, Tracktion Waveform, Ableton Live, or another VST3 supporting DAW to do a visuals pass on your bounced track using Prism Studio tools.
