Here it runs on Windows 10. But first I had a CbB crash trying to do autorisation. Then I used Samplitude and found out that the autorisation only runs if you're online. Afterwards it also ran in CbB on W10 without problems. But the BUMMER: You can only use it online even after the autorisation has been successful! Ouch, I have thrown away some $$!

This happens today, too! Just in another way. See e.g. "me too" and think about it!

Very well written, I feel exactly the same!

I totally agree with you that life is too short ... And yes, for the older Windows versions it was true that they are not so experimental, but for Windows 10 with its update forcing this is not valid anymore IMHO! Although I have Windows 10 on 2 of my PCs this is also my experience! I agree! But on my main music computer with Windows 10 I have a bit less problems than on the laptop, because it is mostly offline!

The 21st century is absolutely the darkest one that I experienced! I don't understand what daylight savings would change! Maybe I should unify with the "no future" generation!

Especially on black friday darkness savings would be immense!

Sometimes I even can't save the daylight, because there is none, it is just so murky as life! Maybe I should invent darkness savings, it would be more successful!

Somehow the idea of daylight savings reminds me of the Arranger and the Articulation maps. I just don't get why?

I would prefer CS-5501, CS-3301 of TBProAudio! They look much cleaner to me! The same here, too. I pay additional 25% tax, so this is not an interesting deal for me ($37.50) and I have already a lot of PA stuff, the things I am still interested in are not so pricey anyway.

It is all about article lotion! No more about arrow ranger. Bag quickies have lost its way. The lone cowboy gets tired.

I say "yes, I am an idiot"! And I have been and still am really an idiot in many ways!

This is exactly the point. Finally I have to clean up after each plugin installer, because they mess up my systems: Some install AAX (64 and 32 bit, with another interface I don't remember now) Some create additional copies in a Steinberg or VstPlugins subfolder (64 and 32 bit) Some create unnecessary program subfolders for documentation only, but I store all plugin documentation in one location only (no program folder), it is easier to find it. For many you cannot stop creating Vst3 even if you use Vst2 for some reason. This may cause issues, because the Vst3 folder is always scanned. Some create menu entries with some rubbish (like site link, uninstaller that can also be accessed in Windows, ...). If you have a lot of plugins, then you're menu tree gets full of rubbish for almost nothing (I excuse those that have an exe)! Many do not remove all installed files when you remove the plugin and more So in the end it takes more time to use installers and installation managers (if you want it to be clean) than when you install plugins by hand (zip files) like in the old days! ?

This sounds quite "hubby" to me! ?

We had this discussion once before! But the thing is I don't like to use a hub on my laptop. 'Cos another name for a laptop is "mobile computer" and with a hub it is not so mobile anymore! ?

This ^^^ and that you can only use the plugins on 1 single computer (I don't have any free USB's on my laptop and they don't support iLok any longer).

Waves? V12?

This is another bad example what installers can do! Something like this could never happen with a zip-installation!

IMO it's the "new" Middle Ages in software development and regrettably also in a lot of other areas in modern life (it is not allowed anymore to say your opinion, it's always the risk that it is interpreted racist, not eco-friendly or anti-women). I hate those plugin installation managers! Honestly, it would be much more user-friendly if we had zip-files to extract the contents with a simple readme instruction! It takes so much time to clean up what most of those silly installers do!

For me it is the contrary, because most of the plugins today allow to use the mouse wheel just by positioning the mouse over a control. Thus if it is required to click the control first to use the mouse wheel, I often forget the click and that causes sometimes that the previous clicked control is changed. The bad thing is also that this control is not in my current focus, i.e. in the worst case I even don't know what control I have changed, but in all cases I do not know the old value. That's why I prefer that the mouse position is relevant to change a value and not a click on the control!

I did this more than once!

This is true that if you have less transient markers the risk of problems is reduced! Me too, I reduce the automatically detected transients pretty much, but most of the time I cannot reduce it to only 1 marker per bar in my case. I also noticed that if the corrections (stretching/compression) are really minor, then there is often no problem. Again, I agree with this. It is also my experience. But if you do this, then you cannot use the automatic quantizing, i.e. you have to do it manually, since the automatic quantize tries to align it to proper beat positions (whatever you choose 1/16, 1/8, ...).

I am also not in love with the current export naming convention in CbB. For some time I did the renaming manually, how laborious if you often export tracks! Then I tried to use shell renaming and there was sometimes a whole mess, because the shell worked recursively. In the end I wrote my own rename program, because there was so much trouble! Also I do not agree that it makes sence to use the internal track number for export, because when you do not create your tracks in order, i.e. you insert new tracks in a later state or move them up or down, then you get a real mess if you re-export some tracks (track number may have changed)! Thus I support absolutely a track export name configuration in CbB! IMHO this would be a very valuable addition to make life easier!

There is the same behavior when I bounce a clip. Most time the solo and mute settings of tracks (other tracks?) get lost! But it is not just since the latest version.

I don't want to frustrate you, but for me the list of tweaks increases with each Windows update! For me Windows does not get better but worse! Since the start of W10 there was only 1 single tweak that I could cancel, because it had been fixed! ?

I cannot remember any Windows 10 update that had something new that I really needed! Most of the time the updates are only a pain, time wasted, settings reverted, some unnecessary cloud play things (child stuff), ... If I had the chance to choose, I would still use the first Windows 10 version!
