I have a license for X3 but alas, no install media...

I find I have need for a chorus plugin for guitars and vocals,  Any recommendations? I want something that feels pretty analog.

+1. The trick is to NOT uninstall your existing SPLAT. Everything will still be there if you don't and I haven't seen any plugins yet that don't fire up as expected.  If you have the VS-700 you either get to hack the driver to use it on Win10, or stay in Win 7.  CbB will still install and update on Win7 but it will complain about it.  

I haven't found a downside yet, and, with the Rise of the COVIDs, I am actually going to embrace a remote collaboration workflow  via Bandlab and see how that goes as well....so I am evangelizing CbB and Bandlab to my friends across the county.   

I had the console before the I/O. Big trick is to make sure the dip switch on the back, far left, is UP if you are using it only as a console, down if using it with the I/O. Install the correct driver (theres a different one for console only operation) still available on the Roland website, and plug the USB cable in when prompted.  After its installed, make sure the CONSOLE midi ports are enabled and install the control surface. If the console surface was already installed, remove it and add it back in, setting all ports to CONSOLE (VS-700)    The headphone jacks don't work without the I/O, BTW.

I have a different solution for storage so the PC just boots off a SATA attached SSD.  Fast enough for the OS and storage is offboard on a frankly silly fast iSCSI SAN that i got the best kind of deal on.

That said, my big Mac Pro (A Video IO Monster running a 4K BlackMagic capture card) lost its original boot drive, and so I installed a NVMe drive.  That silly drive is up to snuff for 4K capture at 60 fps with no dropped frames. Probably overkill for throughput on any DAW, but if I was building a DAW PC again I'd go NVMe for the OS drive.
