Q: I WANT TO RESET MY APERTURE

settings file to reset the settings to default. 

This is located at Users/username/Music/

Spitfire Audio/Settings on a Mac and C:\

Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Spitfire

Q: MY LIST OF PRESETS IS EMPTY, 

HOW DO I SOLVE THIS?

If you have moved your Aperture - The Stack 

Library folder, you can solve this problem 

by using the “Locate Library” feature in the 

Spitfire Audio App.

If this does not solve the problem, the library 

likely needs reauthorising, to do this, use the 

“repair” feature in the Spitfire Audio App.

Q: I SEE A RED EXCLAMATION MARK 

IN THE TOP LEFT OF APERTURE 

- THE STACK, WHAT DOES THIS 

MEAN?

This means that there is an error, you can 

click the exclamation mark to open a log 

with further details. It is likely that using the 

“Repair” and “Locate Library” features in the 

Spitfire Audio App will solve the problem 

but if not, contact our support team at 

spitfireaudio.com/support and attach the log.

Q: CAN I INSTALL ON MORE THAN 

ONE COMPUTER?

With our products you have two licenses. 

This means that you are allowed to download 

and install on two computers you own, say 

your main rig and your mobile rig. If you have 

purchased the library on a hard drive, you 

should copy the contents of the drive on to 

the destination machine before completing 

the download with the Spitfire App. If you 

downloaded Aperture - The Stack, you can 

copy the library folder over to the second 

machine and then use the “Repair” and 

“Locate Library” features in the Spitfire Audio 

App.

Q: I CAN’T SEE THIS IN THE 

KONTAKT LIBRARIES PANE AND 

WHEN I TRY AND LOAD IT INTO 

KONTAKT IT SAYS NO LIBRARY 

FOUND

This library does not run in Kontakt, it is a 

standalone plug-in that you can run in your 

chosen DAW.
