Mu Download For Free
Typically, this is achieved by using your internet browser e.g. Internet Explorer or my personal favorite, Mozilla Firefox, to go to WWW.MUTOOLS.COM.
At the top of the page there is a heading - Downloads - Click on this link and you will be presented with a down load page. Under the heading Download , there are two entries:
Now you must choose, based on your operating system, either OSX (MAC) or Windows (PC). Right Click on the link of your choice - the menu appears and choose either Save Target as .. or Save Link as .. This will then popup a box in which you need to select the folder on your computer where you will save the installation file MU.LAB-free-win.zip or MU.LAB-free-osx.zip). After choosing your favorite directory to store downloads, click on the SAVE button - the file will be downloaded to the directory of your choice.
TIP: Since I download many applications (on my PC), I have a Directory name DOWNLOAD with sub-directories for MUSIC, OFFICE, UTILS, DOCS, etc. I download the appropriate files to one of these sub-directories. When the DOWNLOAD directory gets up to about 600MB or so, I simply copy the whole thing to a CD (along with an index which is saved on my hard disk) and then clear the directory so I can start over. This allows me to manage a large number of downloads over the years.
So you must remember where you put the download. If you are just lazy or don't care, it probably went into My Computer or the Desktop. But in any case it is time to locate the file because you are going to double click on it to get the installation of MU.LAB Free going.
Installation:
For the PC:
Find the file in your explorer window (or on the desktop. If you have a ZIP utility, such as WINZIP, you are in luck because the utility will take over and ask you where to install the MU.LAB studio application. Just double click on the file - MU.LAB-free-win.zip. You will be asked to extract all the files to a default location, probably C:Program Files. This location will work nicely.
Integrity of dmg file. TIP: Again, since I have many Music Applications, I have created a folder named MUSIC and store almost all of my installed music applications here. This allows me to locate their associated files more easily. And also when I back up my music files, I need to only back up everything stored in MUSIC. For example, I selected D:MUSIC as the installation point for MU.LAB Free. After the installation, all of the files for MU.LAB Free were stored at D:MUSICMU.LAB Free.
After extracting the MU.LAB Free files from the installer Zip file (from MU.LAB-free-win.zip) the unzip process will create a sub-directory structure headed by a Directory named - MU.LAB Free. Under this directory, the installer will have placed the files necessary to execute and support the application. e.g. MU.LAB.exe, etc. along with 4 other sub-directories. If your installation does not look like the explorer window (here) then you have not extracted the files properly from MU.LAB-free-win.zip. If it looks like this then please continue.
Locate the file MU.LAB.exe in the MU.LAB Free directory. Right-click on MU.LAB.exe and drag to your desktop. Upon release choose the menu item 'Create Shortcuts Here'. This will create a shortcut on your desktop to use whenever you want to run the MU.LAB Free application.
For the MAC:
An optional, but highly recommended addition to OSX, is the JACK OSX audio server. This serves the same purpose as ASIO on the PC and will lower the latency time for tighter response to audio performance on the MAC platform. If you choose to use the JACK Audio server, you will be rewarded with much better response to midi commands and to changes applied to audio signals through effects. The use of this server is fast becoming a standard for OSX audio applications and is also supported by MU.LAB Free, so it will make a good addition to your audio software arsenal. The installation of the server is very straight forward and can be easily and quickly accomplished by downloading the package from JACKOSX.COM . The package will be installed automatically and will create an applications folder for Jack. Inside the folder is the JackPilot program for starting, stopping and configuring the Jack OSX server. The Jack OSX server must be started and running before it can be used in any audio application and that includes the MU.LAB Free studio. Use the JackPilot program to start the server before starting MU.LAB.
Copy the MU.LAB Free folder from your download folder to the folder of your choice or your applications folder. We recommend copying this folder to a Music folder where all of your music applications and files can be stored together. (no picture).
