    [Edit] I see you removed your comment about me not having enough neurons to understand your installation routine ? I must admit its a doozy ?

    insults are alway good way to win friends and influence people !

    I'll probably buy or build a new computer sometime next year and from what I've read I can transfer this license to the new computer since the license is a retail version and not OEM. But you'd have to remove the license from the old computer first and there's some process for doing that. Does that sound right?

    be prepared to jump through microsoft hoops to make this happen - fingers crossed you will be lucky, but I've spent hours on the phones with them before over this exact issue.

    I've never had to go crazy,  even on modest machines.  The solid set of standard advice here will get most people most if not all the way there:  https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/pc-optimization-guide-for-windows-10/

    yep - very little need to do much on Win10

    worth checking the power options - and put everything on full :) or at least set up a power profile that sets everything to max.  Cubase/Nuendo set up a profile for you if you use that.

    Depending on the BIOS you might want to do some more (non win10 specific) adjustments.

    (personally) I turn of c-states and lock the CPU to max frequency.  Rather contentiously I also switch off hyperthreading too......(YMMV).  I run my audio cards at 32 sample buffers.  At this low level hyperthreading leads to worse performance (especially in cubase)....anything over 64 samples and probably best to leave hyperthreading on.

    You'll notice some software gets annoyed if you have hyperthreading off - PA for example will need to be re-authorised as it things you are on a new PC !

    I see in the Installation Notes that MDrummer Electronic Genres should work also in the free player, after the trial period expires. So what's the consensus, does it work in the free player, anyone can confirm?

    I think they work but I don't think you can actually get to them in "free mode" - basically free mode means you lose the edit facility and you can just use the 'easy' presets (like the monastery grand) - I don't think there are any 'easy presets' that use the Mdrummer samples

    as I say - I'm not 100% but I think that's the case

  5. anybody found that these updates break your old projects ?

    Loading up old projects in cubase maxes out the CPU until I disable the arturia plugs - if I remove the plugin and re-add it then it's ok.  So it seems like these updates break the importing of older settings or something - bloomin' annoying

    I'll put a ticket in to see what arturia say - but might be worth hanging on before rushing to upgrade - I'll post back here if arturia bother to respond

    (windows 10 - and all version of cubase/nuendo that I have on the system)

    As bundle owner I see I can add it to bundle for $99.

    yep seems to be for those who own everything - I only have a few plugs/libraries so it's full price for me

    One time use,  Thinking about BX Hybrid for $9.  Famous people use it so it must be good, right? 

    Seriously, though, I should just get a couple of guitar amps.

    it's a $20 with no lower limit so basically risk free :)
