Select a channel or bus in your DAW to which you would like to add the effect Access the mixer page where you should see a section dedicated to effect slots
Open the menu where you can select from a list of effect types, which probably includes many stock plugins that are included with the DAW. There should be submenu to view general VST/AU/AAX options.
The plug-in will likely be found in a dedicated TC Electronic folder. Select the TC2290 and it will now be added to the signal chain.

Double click on the effect slot that contains the TC2290 to view the plug-in UI. There should be a green link icon at the bottom, and text that indicates successful connection between the plug-in and the Desktop Controller.

Operating the TC2290

After you have installed the plug-in, and either activated the iLok license or connected the TC2290-DT Desktop Controller via USB, you can begin inserting the plug-in to
your tracks.

Adjustments to the effect are done in two ways. Either by using the plug-in user interface or via the physical Desktop Controller.
