I’ve been on W11 since it was released. I upgraded in situ. No issues with Soundcraft drivers nor Focusrite.

Well, im pretty sure the average person understands that if you service your vehicle regularly, you wont have any issue with it for that time period until its next service.  How tedious the wait might be. 

Maintenance yes, but replacing it (as you do) is different.

No issues here since updating to W11 (none in W10 that i can remember except a Focusrite driver error, which they fixed) ….. 

But if it works for you, fair enough

Please everyone don’t install the beta release unless you are willing to be a tester. I think they should not have put this version in the toast pop up. People are obviously installing it with out understand that it is a beta release and not a tested update. 

Its in a toast.

It could, and we already have something like it. But this is a user forum for help and dealing with problems that may need to be addressed quickly. Through the years we have had many calls for help when a user is doing something that is time critical. How would you like to try to get help here if it takes days to be approved when first logging on? It may come to that though.

Further the people doing the spamming are hacking not just posting. They are determined to continue doing it no matter what we do.   

I’m not sure i agree 100% with you.

Graig I know that on some other forums your suggestion is used. I don't know if it would be a useful action here. It may come to that.  

 

The staff have done a great many things to stop the spamming. They are still working on solutions.

 

I would like to see these spammers spend some time jail and fined a lot of money! I don't understand why they do this. It can only make anything they say an annoyance. No one wants anything they are selling.  

 

John, respect for the mods, they do a great job, really.
 

BUT, why wouldn’t .Craig.s suggestion work here. I feel it would.

Lost = List.  Rest of the sentence is properly formed, so it should have been easy to work that out.

My phone autocorrected and changed it for some reason.

Thanks for checking.  Personally, I am enjoying a life of little to no solicitations/spam.  That's the only reason why these resellers set up in this way.  To farm email addresses to sell off to solicitors.  Taking one for the team.  I can respect that.

The team ? Er nope, simply curious. My e-mails have been sold on multiple times, but here in France we've got half decent anti-spam features on the ISP server that catch the majority.

I do have one that I rarely give out, and its safe. No, you can't have it LOL

Lost member pricing so everyone doesn't have to create an account just to see how much they're selling stuff for. 

I have no idea what you mean to say.

i « joined » and can say their prices are not at all exceptional.. To avoid.

32 bit plugin or dodgy plugin not playing nice ?

I use Thomann here in Europe.

Only sold  on one of them (a Strat) just couldn’t get to grips with it. The others no issues to note.

However i generally let them acclimatise to my music room for a month or so before setting them up properly.

J

What i do : 

- first, make a copy of the original 3 sets i recorded (just in case ………)

- each set has about 10 songs, so i split the set into songs -  i then copy each one  into its own project which i find is easier to work with than an hour long project.

- for each  new project (a song) there’s  also has drum bus, a vocal bus and a guitars bus

- once thats done, the real work starts, drums first, then bass, then guitars, then backing vocals then main vocal.

Works for me !

J

My main two e mail addresses have been sold on many times. To such an extent i created a third mail address that i give to no company, only to certain people i really trust (3 at the moment).

i don’t have gmail address but  in France the Wanadoo or Orange or Free etc addresses have been long pirated or sold on.

I also check my spam boxes regularly, Outlook luckily catches the main offenders, but sometimes tags « real » mails.as spam. Price of becoming well sold ?

So...  Do you think John Fogerty is an overrated guitarist?  Or was this post meant for the Cover Song Hall of Fame thread? 🙂

You’ll have to guess !

Everyone has there favourites. This is just one of mine. Status Quo’ version makes me puke !

Greatest intro evah !!

Which version - my Nectar Advanced (note not Plus) is on v3.3

J

Just so you know - us mere mortals who only have Nectar 3 Advanced (and not Plus, yes there is a difference)) are still on v3.3, with no update. 

Or so sez my Product Portal.

Disable all useless audio devices in Device Manager.

Then, In the registry (back it up first, of course) :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASIO

delete those entries that are nothing to do with your Presonus audio device ( especially Realtek or Asio4All)

Reboot. If necessary go into the BIOS and cripple the on board audio.

J

I would imagine this fixes the v3.8 crashing ?

I wouldn’t mind this guy as a teacher

Yes, I'm using sonar platinum. I want to be able to use Kontakt and Keyscape in sonar. But when I go to plugin selection, it's not there. Even when I scan the vst's, select the path folder for availability and even copy and paste the vst/dll into the preexisting vst folders that it opens: its just not there

 

You have installed and authorised them ?

J

You’re not on W7 perchance ?

Many, many pages of comments here.  Can we ( I ) get a definitive word from management whether you will honor the perpetual license that I purchased before the Bandlab thing?  It would be shameful if it was not honored.

Thank you,

Steve

 

You’re joking right ?

When Waves Audio was pushing subscription only plans, they created a sour taste in everyone's mouth.  Windows 11 is doing the same, but I don't think they know how badly it's going to hurt their customer base, because they are so big.  At least Waves Audio was quicker to fix issues than Microsoft.  I foresee the end days of Microsoft coming soon...

I know Office 365 is subscription, but W11 ?
 

Google turns up nothing, so a pointer to your info ……
