in this video I'm gonna show you how to
install traction 5 on OS 10 first go to
the traction website and that's @ww
traction calm and go under account and
then click on downloads if you haven't
yet purchased traction you just want to
download it to try it click on new
customer do that you just fill in this
form and you'll get a user ID and
password so you can download and install
the demo version and if you're already a
member or you've already purchased
traction then just log in right here
we'll show you your software licenses
and then from here go to account
downloads and we're interested in
traction 5 so I'm going to click on
traction 5 and that opens the different
tabs for the different versions of
traction now in this video I'm gonna
walk through the installation on the Mac
version but you'll find that it's almost
the same when you're installing on
Windows your first decision is whether
to install a 32-bit or a 64-bit version
of traction you can install one or the
other you can even install both on the
same machine the real difference is if
you have plugins virtual instruments and
effects that run only in 32-bit mode
then you would need a 32-bit version of
traction you've updated all your effects
to 64-bit and you have eight gig of ram
or more which it says right here and
you're on a 64-bit operating system then
you can use a 64-bit version of traction
so since I'm on a 64-bit operating
system and have a lot of RAM in my
computer I'm going to use a 64-bit
version also I've updated all of my
plugins so the third 64-bit capable as
well so I'm going to just click on the
traction OS 10 installer
and that starts the download for the
traction installer and you can see that
that happened really quickly because the
installer is actually a very small file
I put it here on my desktop so to get
going we'll just double click it
toss this loads as a dmg disc installer
if you're on Windows it'll be a dot exe
file double-clicking that file will
start a wizard that will walk you
through the installation on Mac you
simply drag the icon to the Applications
folder like that and installation is
already done from there you can go into
your Applications folder on your
Macintosh double-click it and run it
once it's running you probably want to
save it in the dock so you can launch it
at any point I've already done that here
so I'll click on the traction 5 icon
you'll get this message saying that it's
a 64-bit application downloaded from the
internet I'm going to go ahead and open
it
after traction 5 goes
startup window you'll be presented with
the projects and settings the next thing
you want to do is register your copy of
traction and you do that in the about
box so go to the about box by clicking
down here where it says about in the
lower left-hand corner here you see all
kinds of information about traction but
you want to click right here on unlock

address and password and click register
and you'll see traction unlocking
