    Trying to download antares autotune pro on the sister site and i'm not sure how to set it up. I have all these RAR files in the antares folder and when I click on it it shows me a set up. Tried setting it up and i'm not sure what i'm doing.
    I use FL Studios 20 if that helps. I downloaded team r2r waifu v1.1 as well.

    since you are new here, I gotta tell you this, we refer to that site as "sister site", you shall not use the name here. Now about your question, I don't have a clue, sorry.

    You should install the waifu thing first and then the antares, it should appear in your daw and work as expected...

    Not quite, you can even write audioz dot download, no prob. You must not use a working link, though. But sister is nicer, no doubt. :winker:

    since you started off on the wrong foot, the download has determined it doesn't like you and has put you on time out for the next 180 days. you have to use a cheap knock off version of the software until then.

    It sounds like you need a primer on installing vst software...
    You really need to tell us WHAT problem you are having.
    When you say "I tried that and nothing", do you mean you tried that and then *poof!* this universe blinked out of existence?
    Be specific as to what you do and what windows pop up etc.
    The explanation might take a helper a long time to write up.
    Do your part and do not be lazy.

    I downloaded Antares autotune off sister site, then I downloaded Waifu R2R, After downloading waifu R2R i installed it, Now In that antares file i downloaded it has a bunch of RAR files each containing a setup. I'm not sure what to do with these because after I try setting up the files I don't find anything at all on my desktop. I thought it would have an .exe application to open but I don't.

    I don't think auto tune installs as a stand alone. It installs as a plugin to open in your daw. Right click on the .rar file, not the .r00, .r01, etc. click extract here. You'll get a setup .exe. run that. There will also be instructions from R2R for the install.

    OK that sounds like you need to "extract" the archives.
    I can not recall how WAIFU was arranged in the RARs but it seems you must have gotten it set up?

    I am assuming you have winrar if you are able to "look inside" the .rar files, so you should be able to right-click on the first .rar file and select from the context menu "extract to <name of archive>" and that should create a folder with the setup.
    I no longer have the original multipart, but you may have to extract once, and then extract again, depending on how it is packed.
    Eventually you should have one folder with all the setup files, etc.
    At that point I usually delete all the smaller .rar files, and create a new SINGLE .rar file for my own archive.
    Splitting into smaller RARs is done to make downloading work better...or at least it used to be .. these days it may not be as important, but it's still the standard way.

    This is what i'm left with after that. Thing is that all the rar files have the same name and file in it.

    what says the NFO attached to the release? if its saying nothing then installing should be straight forward.

    Sometimes we have some overthinking, i had this too, hope you figure it out.

    first watch a youtube tutorial about extracting rar's . its very tricky , many of us did need years to master it .:mad:
    or just install latest rar and extract the first rar file (it will extract all files )

    then for keeping it easy go and download a nfo reader and read and read that nfo .
    and dudes dont say him now he can do it via notepad or so :mad:(because bla bla)

    The world is getting more stupid with each day. Been 51 years here and I still get surprised by how more stupid and just plain bad it can get. Please aliens if you're reading this [lol] take me away anywhere far from this awful place. I could entertain you playing death metal and screaming profanities into a SM57 whole day. /rant over

    Seeing that it makes me think maybe you should change your explorer view options so it shows file extensions. (.txt, .rar, etc)
    By default Windows 10 hides file extensions "for known file types" (meaning they will show an icon).
    I think that is to prevent people from accidently deleting or misnaming the extension, but it can be confusing what the files actually ARE.
    It seems accidents are less of a problem since when selected for renaming, the extension is not selected along with the name.
    That was a smart move, but ..why hide the extension? Are we supposed to memorize all the different icons that actually change as we use different default programs to open them? Stupid, Microsoft.

    Anyway, to see the extensions, go to the menu bar and under the "View" tab, look on the right to find the "show / hide ' items, and check the box for "File Name Extensions". This option can also be found under "Options", Change Folder and Search Options - "View" tab - and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".
    ====
    Now that i have that out of the way, it looks like you opted to rename files to preven t overwriting or something.
    I think it may have been said, but you can just select the first .RAR file (once you can actually see that it is a .RAR file) and extract from that first one without selecting any others. I usually choose to extract into the suggested folder name in the Winrar menu. If you just choose "Extract here..." it may place a hundred files in with the existing .RAR files. If they are more .RAR files extracted "here..." it is even MORE confusing. I know with R2R and many others you can just choose "Extract here..." and it will create a proper folder with the contents, but SOME may not.
