cclarry Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Unfortunately we have identified an issue that may cause issues when recalling sessions. This issue has now been fixed but in order to resolve the problem on your system, I need to ask you to open the Spitfire Audio app and perform a "repair" on all of your originals products. The attached screenshot shows where this can be found. Run the SAA, select your "Original" Library, and then click "Repair" to resolve the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 After clicking on "repair" and the SAA doing it's thing, I then went back to my "Original" and it said to "Install" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Yipes, hopefully if we avoid updates for a while the same thing won't happen to other users, I would imagine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 For a minute I thought it was the name of a new library. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 NOW, even after installing it, it STILL says "install"... I think that they goofed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 @cclarryKeep us updated on the situation. I am going to avoid updating until this is resolved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it doesn't help but it worked ok here did you try a reinstall - I always find the Labs stuff needs installing twice before the Spitfire installer acknowledges it as being installed also check to see if the VST2/VST3 files (including 32bit ? why don't they allow us to choose?) are there.

marcL Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 God, give us plugins with manual installation and free us from those malicious installers! 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventide badly need one IMO - it's impossible to keep track of what's been updated. You have to go through the website and check version numbers off against what's installed. Lots of companies are like this. In this instance the initial problem wouldn't have been fixed by a manual installation...it was just some (more!) sloppy programming and testing by Spitfireaudio....and at their premium prices they really should do better (again IMO). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PavlovsCat Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 This also underscores why I loathe when small sample developers decide to make their own plugins when even larger developers struggle to be marginally competent. When small developers decide to make their libraries as plugins I'm usually out. It just means another plugin learning curve, another plugin in to maintain and troubleshoot. No thanks. Plus, most of these inexperienced software developers have no idea about user experience design and usability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda agree - although the GUI on the $$$ Spitfire Kontakt libraries is even worse in my view. It like a kontakt library from 10 years ago. Even most of the free libraries have better kontakt gui. it's a business model that seems to work for them though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 While they may not "look schnazy" they ARE quite functional, and sound wise, they're out of this world. Devs have a hard job...having to write for 8 billion different pieces of hardware...and "hope" that it all works, because you can't possibly test for "everything".... I was programmer...I get it...so I'm not going to gripe over the very first hiccup I've had with Spitfire...I know the new BBC update did some damage...but I got in after that...so it's ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I should edit my post above to clarify that I wasn't classifying Spitfire as a small developer. I just meant this problem underscores how much work it is to properly release and maintain a proprietary plugin that even a successful developer like Spitfire can screw it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
