Engine Player – FAQ

We are pleased to introduce our new software brand Engine Audio to you - the future home of all Engine products and new software developments from our company. The first release is Engine Player, our completely new developed sample player.

After the release we received a lot of questions about the new Engine Player. We have taken the time to answer the most important ones for you:

Can I use my old Engine 2 libraries with the new Engine Player?

My product is available for Engine Player. Do I need to download the library content again?
