Why on line activation

We made the whole process simpler so that new customers can get on board instantly, as soon as they have purchased the product.

The future of licensing 

With this new system in place we are now able to explore other areas that might become a reality soon, like bulk-licensing for schools and youth organizations, as well as elderly care and mental health programs. Dub for everybody. Please reach out if you need to discuss options.

Windows 10/11         MacOS High Sierra (Tested to Monterey) 

Intel I5 4th Gen CPU I5  (tested to M1)

4GB RAM 4GB RAM

Note: This is a complete program installer, please follow instructions carefully

1. After you make your purchase, you will get three emails from us (the order confirmation, the download link and your new serial number). The serial number is universal Mac or Windows

2. Windows users - Close all other applications or do a fresh reboot. You must turn off all antivirus, Defender options, firewalls, App control & Ransomware folder control during download, installation and activation. You can create exclusions to both the FreQQs shortcut and the application folder in C:\Programfiles\SlawterstudiosLTD\AmpFreQQ (After installation and activation), Note, do not run app right away, first check a new folder called AmpFreQQ has been created in c:/Users/Public/ and FreQQ in Documents. If not, recheck all security above and reinstall over the original installation. Only launch The FreQQ shortcut when this folder has been created by the installation process. * Also see Safest installation method for Windows below.

3. Mac Users - Once the download is complete, double click the file to extract the installer. Make sure the destination path is not the Downloads folder.(Mac) In any case, if the installer ends up there after the extraction, move it to the desktop or the Documents folder before opening it.

4. Run the installer.

5. Enter this install password: dubstation (make sure you don't copy-paste any extra spaces).

6. Wait until the installation process has fully completed.   Note: (Windows) after installation, you will be presented with a window to install or repair Microsoft C++ Visual Redistributable. Dont worry if you get an error, just means its already installed.

7. Then run the app from the shortcut on the desktop (Windows) or from Applications folder (Mac) and you will be presented with an activation dialogue. Please complete the all the details and submit. You will be presented with a notification and the app should launch a short while after that

On some Windows computers, the application icon disappears sometimes. It doesn't affect the application at all, but instead of the official Amp FreQQ icon, you will see a generic icon. At the moment, the only way to avoid this issue is to create a new Windows user account WITH ADMIN rights and install Amp FreQQ in the new account. The easiest way is to select other user (Not family) . Click non Microsoft account, you don't have the users details, type in a name, next, then click the account just created and select administrator role. Then you can either restart and select this account, or select the account from the start menu and switch to it. You still need to follow the steps to turn off security as stated above. This workaround has the added benefit of making the application launch faster and overall is the cleanest way to install The FreQQ V3 . You will still have access to all your files in your other user account. Just create shortcuts to your most used folders on the new desktop.

Manual activation

If you are experiencing problems with your internet connection, you can choose to do a manual activation, but it is not automatic and might require up to 48 hours to be completed. 

With the installation, a set of folders are created.

Windows: C:\Users\User_Name\Documents\FreQQ

Mac: \Users\User_Name\Documents\FreQQ

(User_Name = The name of the user account where Amp FreQQ v3 is installed on your computer)

In Documents there will be a folder called FreQQ, within it we have the following folders;

• MidiMaps: contains the default v3 mapping for the Akai Midimix. 

• Samples and sample Sets: contains 4 sample set files. Use the load button underneath the sample player (panel area) to quickly load any of the 4 sample packs included.

• Songs: contains 3 song files so you can test your set up even if you have no music locally available.

• Spectrum Skins: Several alternative skins for the spectrum visualizer. To use them, just select any of them, drag and drop inside the visualizer area (the big rectangle at the top of the window). A Photoshop PSD template is included so you can make you own custom image (you will need to export the image as a png file). Plus a blank PNG file that you can use as a template.

• VU Skins: contains 2 alternative skins for the VU meter (same drag-and-drop method).

• Playlists: This is where you store your custom Playlist files

• General Presets: This is where you can store your global presets 

• Siren Presets: This is where you can store your siren presets 

Configuration

The integration with Amp FreQQ is plug & play (in most cases). This means that by plugging the Midimix before opening Amp FreQQ, the software should detect the controller and load the new default mapping automatically. However, we are aware of a few cases when it didn't work as described. If that is your case, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure a Midimix controller is plugged to the computer.

2. Restart Amp FreQQ.

3. Did it work this time? If not...

4. Open the setup window.

5. Locate the section labeled as "MIDI".

6. Click midi re-scan. The text "MIDIMIX" should appear underneath the word "CONTROLLERS".

7. Click load mapping.

8. Go to Documents\FreQQ\MidiMaps and select V3MMmap.json.

9. The following text should appear inside the black rectangle labeled "LOADED MAPPINGS":

10. 
    V3MMmap.json
    V3MMmap.ctrlist.json

10. Move any fader on the controller to check if the corresponding control moves on the screen.

We put together an awesome user manual to cover every little detail about Amp FreQQ v3.

Jump to the documentation section

• In safe (Normal) mode, the crossover bands now locked. You can only reduce the frequencies being passed through on mids and bass. Tops and sub-bass are fixed in place. The 4 kill fader positions are now 0dB at the maximum position

• We do not recommend mapping the kills frequencies to a midi controller, we do not advise adjusting these, during a live mix or a performance.

• Music inputs have a maximum gain of 0dB, except for the mic/aux channel which has +6dB available. So in other words, the music inputs should always be set to maximum gain.
