Yep, mine is too and could certainly add to the problem but I typically don't have that with other installers. Thanks for the nod to the verb updates!

Ugh, hate the portal as it won't continue downloads it starts. I ended up with 18 partial download files because it kept stopping, "Awkward!" and restarting started over completely. Finally had to go to the Legacy section of my account and download Neutron 3 Advanced manually which was slow and was interrupted a couple of times but completed fully.

Guess it is time to invest in an iLok 2 version. My two plugs, Drawmer S73 & Dirty Tape won't activate without it. EDIT: doh, I've got these two licensed to my computer. Still, at some point iLok 2 will probably have to happen.

...meaning I only have ten years left?? Not sure if that's good or bad LOL

Yep, a bit disappointed that I didn't have a download waiting this morning - oh well, something to look forward to this evening! ?

Wait till you download GS-V - comes in at 31GB? Ugh. Same as others, I'm in for the 11 synths. EDIT: a total of 111 GBs

If, like me, you're not familiar, check out this tutorial.

Just as an aside: I was curious as to where the sounds were stored and the setting for downloads wasn't clear on that fact. However, it really works rather well. Just change the download location under Settings and all the work is done for you - it's automatically moved and set. Nice!

While that is one way, you can also either logout or just quit the Portal which removes it from the task manager. EDIT: then again, I just realized the point was the Portal running automatically when using Capsule but the same happens when you run the Portal unless you.... :))

Maybe I'm missing the intent, but I rarely use the "Installation Manager." I have before but only when there is a mass update. All I do is go to my products and download the plugin installer for the plug I need/want, unzip it and run the executable. I usually open up Reaper (because it's the quickest DAW to open), instantiate the new plug, it requests activation, I click Online ('cause I'm still online at that point), it activates and works from there on out. AFAIK, the manager is not required.

I can't recommend Jim Rosebury at StudioCat.com highly enough. He builds three models that you can customize. Maybe a bit pricey but the support is PRICELESS

Thanks Bit, good reminder! I only had a little over 100MB in the folder you alluded to. However, I did find a couple of GB in Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins. Steinberg is another irritant, but I usually stay aware to the suggested paths when installing plugs but as mentioned, Avid and sometimes Steinberg ignores those preferences.

Agree with both points.

fixed

Wish it was clearer! My upgrade offer is $249 and I already have Analog 4 & V as well as sundry bits & packs. The V Collection site shows 28 included instruments:

Yeah, because they are digital cameras - what's an "f-stop?"

Haha, while the OP (of the nipple thread) was factual, I figured someone would sensor. One's jocularity is another's offense! And BTW, I am a Spam eater. Mom used to take it and grate it with cheddar cheese, mix with mayo & seasoning, spread it on hamburger buns and put it in the broiler. When you're feeding seven kids on a limited budget and all, you get creative! My grandkids thinks it's great - they love spiced ham sliders!!

Same here. Actually with owned plugins hid, NX - Virtual Mix Room is the only available plug that shows. However, I do need the AR RS124Vintage Tube Comp to complete my AR collection because it came out after I purchased the collection. It is still available for $29.99.

Praying for you both as well as the care givers!!

Correct, you can't "Claim" it again but the code still shows to the right side (green area) of the perk. At least it does for me. However, it no longer works. Perhaps SMP remembers that I used it the first time even though I didn't follow through and won't let me repeat?

Hmm, strange. I would say the deal is over but my G3 account says expires August 1, 2022. The Redeem link (SheetMusicPlus) worked this morning though I did not purchase, it showed the discount. However, now it does not. I suggest reaching out to Groove3 support. BTW, Microsoft Edge found promo code FT2R2P which gives a $94.90 discount bringing it to $854.10.

Same here. Only had 12 S2 presets. I opened IK Product Manager and clicked on Register Product, entered Authorization Number received from AudioPlugin Deals, then installed. All presets present.

I haven't read this whole but get the gist (I believe) from reading just the last few pages. With all due respect to Reid (who's posts I enjoy/support) and all the members in both camps, though this sub forum falls under the General Discussion, it really doesn't make sense for these posts to be in the deals forum when there are places like Production Techniques and The Coffee Shop threads regardless of which has the highest traffic. The problem I see is that for the moderators to be fair, equal treatment should be given to all users. To that extent, where is the line drawn? Obviously, what is allowed for one should be allowed for all?

Makes sense. I've used SMP many times and it is legit obviously.

Interesting that it is provided through SheetMusicPlus.com. $759.20 - Nice offer!
