Promidi Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 The installer needs a dark mode..... very bright in a low light studio..... almost burned my retinas out... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Barnes Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I wonder if this means they have fixed the authorisation system so it's not broken by Windows updates? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often do you open the installer? Me, I can live with that, 'cos I rarely use it. I use their products more often than the installer! 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cclarry Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) I removed everything XLN over a year ago... Worst Big Ticket Developer out there IMO...

I have considered removing them but I am keeping them, for now, " just in case". There are some nice kit in there but the authorisation thing does not give one confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 If you wanted XL stuff on more than 2 machines you can't without creating another account. You registration account can only hold 2 machines. This new updater is broken. If you go to the preferences you can't get back out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it is a pity the thing is still terrible dumb and forcing to install trash like 32-bit without any choice. And offering 'repair' (lol) option when it is removed manually by user. I am putting 32-bit things paths always on RAM disk, not to need to erase manually, but stupid installers like XLN or NA are alerting there is something to repair...

Grem Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) I like the feature in AD that allows you to modify/alter the drum midi. It does offer a unique way to get a groove that I don't see in other drum programs. I will keep using it for that alone. And it does sound pretty dang good tooo!! That makes it much easier.. : ) [edit] Forgot to add that the new UI for the installer looks a lot like Izotope installer. That maybe the new trend in UI!!!? Also Waves new UI for the Ren plugins follow this type of UI. Edited December 11, 2020 by Grem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many of you love them...but their development is terrible... That's why I said IMO Other the other hand they tirelessly support what they've put out, constantly updating it. Be nice if they improved their authorization system so you don't have to reauthorized their system every major Windows update (just went through this yesterday when my Win10 updated to release 2004) BUT is a fairly painless update - a couple of clicks to reauthorize their whole line. As opposed to others... I just upgraded my SSD and even though I cloned the drive am frustrated by how many items I have to reregister/reauthorize. One of the absolute f******g worst is iZotope - where I have to reauthorize every friggin plug separately🤬, each one taking multiple clicks and screens. I switched their plugs to iLok thinking that would get me out of having to individually re-authorize (like every other vendor who uses ILok) - NOPE, it just adds another layer of pain because you still have to do the individual per computer manual authorizations and now if I want to sell off their crap I have to deal with iLok fees.

So what exactly would be the procedure? My comps just recently updated to 1909 and I suppose I'll have to reauthorize now. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
