I entered a support request with screenshots from their website, but heard nothing for a week. Just emailed nathan@soundspot.audio per contact info in the the Paypal transaction. Will see what happens, and dispute the transaction of I don't hear something in a few days. 

in these circumstances I just dispute anyway - that normally focuses the mind.

Except that I tend to empty the Recycle Bin if I notice it has anything in it - which is what I did

Any ideas what was in there before it was deleted? Mine has around 20 items in it now, some folders and all of it dated today.
With it being a "Temp" folder I am hoping that there's nothing of too much value there (apart from maybe breaking something).

hopefully nothing important but some software requires it to be there (including the Korg software!) - things like the ilok manager - I normally empty the recycle bin all the time (OCD!)

make sure you have a temp folder there and all will be good - reboot too as some software could have been made a bit upset.  Still can't believe how slack that was of Korg - doesn't do it first time you start it up but does it after that ......Think it's trying to clean up after itself

if it's any consolation I've been having a 'mare.  Today has been computer housekeeping day - backups etc -  spotted that windows defender had crashed, wouldn't restart, made me very nervous.  Rebooted and had a GPT bootsector error,  something corrupted (USB backup disk was still plugged in and it tried to boot off it)  - windows defender crashed again - then folders started disappearing........Was sure I had a 'virtual' virus (still better than having a real one)

Think I've got to the bottom off all the issues now - just in time for wine-o-clock

Yes but "deleting folders" could be virus like behaviour - probably a setting in Kaspersky depending on the level of paranoia you want to set.

That's presumably why the downloader just dumps you in your ZIP manager. Honestly, do they test any of this stuff? ?

at least it dumps it in your recycle bin and doesn't permanently delete it....what a pain

legacycell also dumps an older version of some of the plugs in another folder - so you can up with duplicates

pretty ugly - although the new GUIs are nice !

I'm surprised that Kaspersky didn't flag some interesting behavior! 

they don't contain viruses - they just trigger a NEW problem with the latest update for windows defender.....

The 'delete the temp folder' is much worse - can break stuff  - even breaks it's own downloader routine

That sounds nasty Simon. Yes the same thing is happening here ? Oh No, I wonder what it has broken?!!

think I've got legacycell working but it messes with polysix - just juggling this - plus at the same time windows defender has broken so I have no virus protection.....

it's some of the files from korg that are crashing it - they have multiple ".." in them  - to be fair that's more microsofts problem than korgs but I'm gonna blame korg anyway

basically wasted today...

oh dear - legacy cell still not happy with cubase

also is it me but everytime you start the Korg Software Pass app it dumps the entire contents of your temp folder (C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\temp) in the recycle bin (windows 10 )  !!!!!! which breaks things

that Triton is pretty good though !

Izotope has no doubts about it They say Nimbus is extended version of Phoenix. There is YT video about reverbs and they are saying it...

maybe but there is also a surround version of phoenix but not nimbus ? 

the moon guitar update turned up for me this morning - still no reply from spitfire about the "error 1" from strings v2

good to see FXP giving BFD a bit of much needed love

They have a MUCH larger user base than even Pro Tools. 

interesting - I'd always assumed it was the other way around.  Cubase has always been popular in Europe since the Atari days but I always thought that Protools had a larger user base ?   A quick google gave me very little information. 

I picked up nebula as part of a Plugin Boutique freebie giveaway, along with a couple of other things.  I should give it a try.

I notice it's currently £130 at plugin boutique....!

shame though as I'm not hugely encouraged by my recent experience with the Spitfire downloader .....

and Hi Richard - welcome to the forum ?

good question - I'm fairly sure they have...but I can find no evidence to support that ?

plus a new version 3.0.3 - wooden cabinet seems like the only change

what do you mean 'not the update'  ?

(and paging @ZincT)

edit - ahhh - just upgrades from artist/elements/le versions 

(and unpaging @ZincT !)

I hate an uninstaller that doesn't tidy up !

I've put a ticket in to spitfire - see what they say

No it's not just you honestly! I'm now getting Error #1 on Strings 2 which I didn't touch and they appear to load and play just fine (unless it was a cunning plan by the mysterious optimise). Also Dulcimer samples have disappeared again but it doesn't give an error.

I still have dulcimer but getting error #1 on the strings as well

I got it free because of the Luanchpad X I have.  It's kind of underwhleming and adds a new always running application to your Windows install that has no option to stop it from starting when you login.  Had to remove it from the Run registry key.  If you own ROLI hardware I might see it, but not for two (kind of simple) plugins.

that was my thoughts exactly - uninstalled it ?

just joining the dots - you can get this for free if you are a novation owner

Sounds good. Are you using rtpMIDI on the PC or is that what the PC download is for? I used Android TouchDAW for a while and I think rtpMIDI on the PC for the wireless MIDI link.  Maybe I should rtfm ?

that's what the download is for

installs a big stack of virtual midi ports - and does it's own magic without installing anything else

Lol, only just re-discovered this. Must give it a go. Thanks Simon! 

works great for cubase - only negative is that it doesn't respect the "hidden" status of tracks

puts the $349 for a single plugin into perspective !

It makes me wonder if their paid (and expensive stuff) is as flakey as this?

I've got a few bits an pieces - the kontakt based stuff - sounds great but I don't really like the (tiny) kontakt inferface.   There was a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth from windows BBCSO when that came out..........
