# How to Install & Use Tech House Market Project Files in FL Studio

All Tech House Market FL Studio projects are delivered as **FL Studio Zipped Looped Packages**, which means setup is **plug-and-play**.

### Important – Read This First

> **You do NOT need to extract the ZIP file.**

FL Studio can open **Zipped Looped Packages directly**.

You can simply:

* Open FL Studio
* Select **File → Open**
* Choose the **ZIP file**

FL Studio will load the project with **all samples included automatically**

### What Is a Zipped Looped Package?

A **Zipped Looped Package** is an official FL Studio project format that:

* Contains the `.flp` project file
* Includes **all samples used in the project**
* Preserves routing, automation, and arrangement
* Prevents missing sample errors

This is the **recommended and safest** way to share FL Studio projects.

### Option 1 – Open the ZIP File Directly (Recommended)

1. Download the project ZIP file from your **Tech House Market account**
2. Open **FL Studio**
3. Go to:

   ```
   File → Open
   ```

   **or**\
   Drag the ZIP file directly into FL Studio
4. Select the `.zip` file

✅ The project will open immediately\
✅ All samples will load correctly\
✅ No extraction required

***

### Option 2 – Extract the ZIP File (Optional)

Some users prefer working with extracted folders. This is optional.

1. Right-click the ZIP file → **Extract / Unzip**
2. Move the extracted folder to:

   ```
   Documents → Image-Line → FL Studio → Projects
   ```
3. Open FL Studio
4. Open the `.flp` file normally

Both methods work exactly the same.

***

### If FL Studio Asks for Missing Samples (Rare)

This should rarely happen, but if it does:

1. Go to:

   ```
   Options → File Settings
   ```
2. Under **Browser Extra Search Folders**:
   * Add the folder containing the project
3. Reopen the project

FL Studio will automatically locate all files.

### Plugins & Compatibility Notes

* Most Tech House Market projects use **FL Studio stock plugins**
* If a third-party plugin is not installed:
  * It will load as **disabled**
  * MIDI, automation, and routing remain intact
* You can safely replace missing plugins with your own

**Producer Edition or higher is recommended.**

***

### Save Your Own Version (Recommended)

Once the project is open:

```
File → Save As → Rename the project
```

This keeps the original file intact and allows you to experiment freely.

***

### Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Opening the project from inside a compressed preview\
❌ Moving files after opening the project\
❌ Renaming folders after extraction\
❌ Opening projects from temporary locations

* Study:

  * Automation curves
* Replace sounds while keeping arrangement
