[4] Load the Plugin


To load an authorized and installed OwnHammer plugin, place an instance of it as an insert on a track or bus in a DAW session. The default category that our plugins are assigned internally is "FX". If your DAW organizes plugins based on categories, this will be the area it is located. If your DAW does not have an FX category, it will assign it to a category that it determines to be the catch-all for cases where it does not have a category that matches what the plugin provides as the defined category. For example, in some DAW's it will then revert to place the plugin in the "Other" category. This will be different from DAW to DAW.
