I'd recommend trying the demo first, then if you no likey, you can get your 4GB back. No risk, except for a few minutes of your time! ?

Erm..........

Your mind is like a sewer.

Not enough *'s for that.

I was thinking "Chap".......

I was merely surprised at Bapu's choice of adjective.

But remained the same  vicious c***?

Imagine all the bad words that you ever heard of...........today I direct all of them in the general direction of UJAM. 4 download attempts later I finally get all the files, install them, run the VST scan, so far so good..........hope it was worth the fuss...............the UI is opening and...........Trial Period has EXPIRED. Erm, I installed it for the first time just now, so WTF? 

Imagine all those bad words again with UJAM on the end.

Ran that file, and it dropped a 2.5GB folder named 'Virtual Guitarist CARBON' in the same downloads folder. Inside that folder is a 'Virtual Guitarist CARBON 1.0.1 (497).exe' and three related .bin files.

I have only the .exe and one empty .bin file. The download said it was completed at 4.1GB so I have no idea where the rest of it went.

Wow that Herb guy sounds just like a Bapu in training

TBF he was a rank amateur in comparison. Not fit to tie the special edition Presonus shoelaces of the master. He didn't even have a t-shirt with his own face on it.?

PreAl on the Studio One forum will give you the same warm, fuzzy feeling.

Hey Harry, I feel your pain, bro. I really do.  Here's what I do:  I leave comments on very few of the songs posted in this forum because most are not my taste in music.  For instance, your recent song post was not "my taste of music" however, I liked the guitar tones on the song.  So, I mentioned that.  I didn't just leave a snarky comment about how your generic song was not to my liking and making an oblique comment about the mix.  So,...let's ignore each other from now on.  okay?

I've often wondered why over the years your threads generally have a very low amount of comments when compared to the amount of views. Now I know why.

Thank you for solving that mystery for me.

You sir, have an excellent memory ?

Some things are just hard to forget.

Especially once immortalised in rhyme........

(for the benefit of those who missed it first time round)

Ahem........

There was an old fecker named Strummy
Who named his bollocks John T & Plummy
He used to check on them often
Before his body did soften
But now he can't see past his tummy

That's odd...I'd check the App Manager (windows) and see if it can be uninstalled,
then try again!

There's nothing to uninstall because I haven't been able to install it. The installer opens, I accept the licence agreement (like I have a choice, lol) select/accept the install locations and then select install. Immediately I get a pop up asking for DISK 1 or to direct the installer to another location where it may be found. Problem is that despite a 4.1GB download I can't find any other files anywhere.

Thanks for trying to help, but I'm giving up on it for now. Already wasted far too much of the day on this.

There is no stand alone...it has to be run from within a DAW, as it's VST/AAX only...
 

Thanks for reply, but I know that. I haven't even installed it yet. It's the installer app that is asking for a disc.

Apparently I downloaded 4.1GB of data and the downloader verified the files before closing and doing nothing else. So where do they go? All I can find is a VG Carbon 1.0.1 application 559KB and an empty BIN File. If I run the app file it just asks for a disc and will go no further without one......

Oh, for the days when you actually had a disc............ ?

Ah...there is no "download" of the file...you have to use the installer, which does the download...

As I suspected. Thanks for confirming.

Paulo + Strummy.

We could call ourselves Plummy.

That would be the nuts.

Well one of yours anyway.?

John T would probably feel a bit left out though, which is generally not the best place for gentleman vegetables to be.

Thanks Larry. I already did the d/l for the "installer" but it was very small, so I'm guessing that it's just the installer for the thing that is then going to do the d/l onto the pc like Native Access does. That's the step that I would prefer to avoid - I just want to d/l the actual thing not the thing that wants to manage it for me if that makes sense.

Anybody know of a way to just d/l and install the carbon demo without having to first install the UJAM download manager thing?

@Philip G Hunt - Herb was a guy who used to post in the old CW forum who often turned just about any topic into a shameless plug for one of his songs.

Is that you Herb?

Meh.

I can't even be bothered to look at SOS these days. It's mostly ads or ads in disguise anyway.

why is almost EVERYTHING completely 180 degrees away from reality?  Well, those are exactly the questions everyone should be asking themselves!

I asked myself, but I didn't know why.

Is it something to do with Lizards?

I've gone for the stop downloading free crap that I'll never use option.

Hmmmmm.........after months and months of thinking that PB freebies had become pretty lame, they go and prove me wrong. Might be time for me to finally buy Scaler 2. Having waited soooooooooo looooooooooonnnnnnggggggg for it's release I decided that I might as well wait a bit longer for the inevitable sale (that and the fact that even after all that time the initial release version still seemed to be very broken) but throwing Carbon into the equation makes it feel like I should do it now rather than just buy something cheap that I don't really want/need just to get the freebie.
