Sienna system-wide, and all Acustica Audio products, can be downloaded, installed, and authorized using the Aquarius Desktop application. The Aquarius Desktop application is a free standalone application that will manage the downloading, installation, and authorization of your products in an automatic way without user intervention. To learn more about the Aquarius Desktop application, read the Aquarius Desktop application online user guide.

Sienna System-wide is a standalone application that will set your computer's audio output device to use the Sienna Virtual Audio Device, allowing Sienna to be used with sounds or music produced by non-audio applications, for example, a video played directly from a web browser or an online music player application. This way, you will be able to use the Sienna without using an audio host (DAW or NLE).

NOTE: Sienna System-wide requires Sienna and Sienna Guru in VST3 format as a prerequisite for sound processing.
