 After Bandlab installs it deletes the exe. file.   I'm not sure why the OP needs the app is there is no working computer.

Yeah, pity they didn’t add a recording interface of sorts. 

 Line 6 did that and probably a few others.  I don't think they come out as top sellers.

 I don't even know what Phil looks like now to judge.

Yes. Everything old is new again.

 Not really. Posts use to be deleted instead of closing a thread.  Not a fan of that. Are you one of those enjoying criticizing me a over the rules here on the other forum?   I guess it is Beyond My DAW.

I got the same message

There was a link in the word "download". I clicked on that and it installed from there. So it was only one extra click. Painless.

 My issue was after installing it said I needed to update.  Tried again today and it updated.  I have 3 of those installs in my downloads.   I still liked command center. I could archive my different versions of Sonar.

Will the mods do their job of eliminating political jabs in a quick way and ignore their own political feelings?  They are not allowed in other forums or have a section for it (yawn).   The previous site was great for this.

 But hey, even responses I get here I completely disagree with are infinitely more interesting and accurate then what our poor dear "Toddler in Chief" has to say on TV with his Jibber jibber, jibber jabber, Jibber jibber, jibber jabber, Jibber jibber, jibber jabber on and on...……….. as we play with our favorite toys he plays with his favorite toys and sings his songS of Jibber jibber, jibber jabber, Jibber jibber, jibber jabber, Jibber jibber, jibber jabber, as the pretty talking heads delight in him signing praise to him... And always pointing thy fingers at others...…………….. And naming and re-naming the names of the doomed...………………. ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY.

 

 

 

 

BTW you have violated the rules for this forum.  Please delete or modify your post.   This stuff does not belong here. There are plenty of other places for this.   Post is reported.  Hopefully our moderators will not allow this and finally someone had to test the waters.

So often someone did the tweaks then come the issues.  Since W7 and better system hardware I don't tweak anything other than Windows annoyances like Cortana and WU.  

Update Failed

Something went wrong.

Please Download and Install BandLab Assistant manually.

Ugh.  I won't bother.   BTW I had no issue on the other machine.  Maybe they should bring back command center.

It looks like a new version keeps coming out every year.  I have W8 & W9 and I realize that they need to make money to keep the store open, but then they seem to stop updating last year's version as soon as the new one is released. It is almost like a subscription, in that you don't get any more bug fixes unless you keep buying the latest version.  I would rather they slow down the pace a bit and maybe release some .5 releases in between major versions.

  This is another DAW that is on my cut list for that reason.  It reminds me of Sonar from v3 to 8 or Finale.  Plus they raised the price of their DAW on upgrades.

Isn't it what ProChannel is all about? I chose Sonar for this functionality. Obviously CLA plugins sounds somewhat different, but I prefer the workflow of the ProChannel. It's so genius!

BTW, did anyone notice that Chris is talking to me?

 I loved her post. After the oohs and ahs comes the voice of reason, do I really need another plugin?

Yeah, Melda are cool.

I hate the fact I have to buy 2 of everything with Waves.

 It's nice tho that Waves have become cheap to help that out   iLok products now allow 2-3 installs but not Waves.

I totally forget I had Abstrung. Just got this one now.

Previous installation of Sonar are small exes.  Most of the content would be duplicates.  I use to have S7 to X3 on a system.

   The now have 2 new budget interfaces even though K Audio 6 is a great budget interface. 

   BTW they brought Carbon VST back.

  I got to see the new A25 controller in the local GC.  At $159 I kinda want one.

I would also like to but they do make some compelling plugins.

 I'm going with Melda.  I can slap em on every machine in the house, lifetime updates.  They also seem to be pretty stable.

Such an amazing synth.  Takes time to get your head around it, but it is amazing.

 

There are extra patches in the Image Line forums as well.

MVP and Groove have tutorials. There's also Seamless Channel on youtube.   It's actually easier than it looks.

Thanks Larry.

After updating my Waves plugins the Waves license files could not be found (as reported during the CbB scan at startup).

I keep the licenses on my C drive and Waves Central showed that they were there.

Anyway, using Waves Central I moved them from C to the cloud and then back again from the cloud to C and they now scan fine. 😕

Go figure.

 This is one of the reasons I will stop using Waves.   I don't have quirks like this with other plugins.

Steev,

Beating a dead horse here, but with the Pro version of Win10, you can shut down (disable) all automatic updates.

Once configured, Win10 won't download any updates. 

If you've got the Home version of Win10, automatic updates can't be fully disabled.

 Which is totally stupid unless the aim is to get people to buy Pro.   Since W10 was a free upgrade I have to wonder if MS put their best people on it since ever update s continue to cause issues with the average user.   I had to revert a couple of times because it  broke the home network and shared drives.

The OP is Erik, and I think he's pretty much figured out what the problem was. We are just continuing this conversation as it's developed. Erik still jumps in from time to time!  : )

 

I ran an Athlon DAW for years. In fact I was running that machine as my main DAW and had an Intel q6600 in my home PC. Had Sonar loaded on both and was constantly surprised at how that Athlon did a better job than the Q6600. Granted the Athlon was running XP SP2 and the Intel had Vista!!

 

But when Win 7 came out I put it on the Q6600 and then upgraded my Athlon machine to i7 2600 with WIn7. And that thing is still going strong with Win10. It does get bogged down when I start mixing down, but I just increase the buffers and it just keeps rolling on. It has an older AMD video card in it that was new at the time, but not top of the line at all.

 

When AMD came out with Ryzen I was really hopeful that it would put them back in the game and it did. I know that Intel still has the best single core brute strength, but AMD is, like Jim said, doing better with multicore programs. You can build a great video workstation for less money using AMD.

 

Way off topic now! : )

 I still have a Q6000 machine. To bad my board can't overclock it.   I liked the AMD FX series.  I still use a FX6300.  I liked the previous AMD platform since it ran many processors.  Intel started platform jumping. Since I don't do any life performance or recording I don't need Intel's latest and greatest.   Intel is somewhat pricey again and even Apple may be looking into making their own processor.

  For those on a budget there are still some great Intels. I think last week Frys had a 6 core i5 for under $200.

I love it.     It's one of the three libraries in their Randomizer series.   Aerkord combines bowed , ethnic winds, and vocals.  Abstrung is strings.  Vesper is "bells and twinkly things."    I bought Aerkord and Vesper after  I got a deal on Abstrung in a sale like this one, and really liked it.

This is a steal at the price.   It's a very powerful instrument that sounds beautiful, and can also come up with some really unusual sounds through its engine.    The Audiofier "Randomizer" series is not about presets so much as hitting the randomizer button a lot and getting some unexpected results, which you can save.  

You shouldn't think of it as a Rompler with a lot of deep instruments.  It's all about the way you mutate and warp the sounds with effects, reversed sounds,  arps and sequencers, etc.  But if you want to keep it simple and just combine two sounds -- a Vocal Ah and a Duduk, say, it can do that too.  That's what I mostly do. 

If you want to get the most out of it you need to watch the Audiofier videos on YouTube.  All the Randomizers essentially work the same.  

The one caution I would make is that it is 22 GB and for some reason it takes a while to load on a regular hard drive.  I have it on an SSD and it's not instant, but it's decent.  Once it's loaded you're good to go. 

Audiofier is an amazing company.  I'm very curious about their new Riffendium.  

  I've read that resaving them in Kontakt will speed them up.   If I keep buying these libraries it takes away money for a big SSD.   I'm a sucker for these.

Back to topic, what version of W10 is the OP running?

 Who has this?

Took six fresh installs to get it to finally work!!!!

 I quit after the 1st one.  It seems like an unnecessary evil to begin with.

 It will be a sort of sad day when I have to retire my PCI cards.   Those M-Audio Deltas are quality hardware.   I don't know how old my first AP2496 is but they still run solid on W10. As much as one wants to bash MS at least they value legacy support and those W7 drivers still work.  None of the legacy M-Audio products will work on a current Mac.
