Xoo

I didn't actually want to find them, I just spotted the problem! Oh, and table headings' fonts don't update if you change the font/size until you re-open the application (data rows do) - again, pretty minor.

Minor issue in VST Inventory - because the flags are Y/<blank>, you can't (or at least I can't work out how to!) seem to search for all non-VST3 plugins, say. if the flags were Y/N, it would be trivial.

Not according to the batch file (-novstgrovel - I mistyped originally).

You (especially you given that plugin list :-)) could still run out of screen real estate...what happens then (genuine question)?

I'm not sure /VSTNOGROVEL actually stops it scanning - I still see the scan screen (albeit I have very few VSTs in the scan path, so it's quick). It also possibly should be -NOVSTGROVEL based on the batch file Convert To.bat provided with SF 15 (in the IAScripts folder).

Track template?

It's not.

Not that I am a Cakewalk developer, but I don't see how that would lessen any work - it's just moving it.

The nomenclature isn't explicit but the UI wouldn't be that dissimilar since the controls required would be essentially the same.

Sends do indeed do exactly what you want.

The background/foreground* "tweak" is still out there "officially" (https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207355205-Optimising-your-PC-for-Audio-on-Windows-10) and unofficially (https://www.soundonsound.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=76781) * From memory, and unless something has changed since XP/Windows 7, this doesn't change the priority of threads, but how long they run for by default - cf. https://medium.com/@dikrek/processor-scheduling-and-quanta-in-windows-and-a-bit-about-unix-linux-fb5ab02828e2 (a few years old, but chimes with my memory). I do wonder if the "tweak" was , say, Cubase specific originally, since the copy-protection was running in the background?

It's a VST plug-in, not a driver, so *way* less intrusive than something like One Drive (integrated) or Team Viewer. It works OK, but a little tedious to use as you need to bounce - better than sharing stems for sure, but when I tried, it wasn't the most stable, as it did lose connection and need re-loading - so much like any other VST then ? It is free though, and does what it says, so apart from some of your time, it's worth experimenting with if collaboration is what you do a lot of.

That doesn't swap between driver modes, which requires a registry change.

I'm with Erik and have been doing the same for...well, many years now. Having run into huge performance problems caused by real-time scanning at work (not Defender to be honest but an enterprise AV product), I'm glad I have (the product in question caused something like a 500* slowdown on batch image generation from one of my .NET applications making it completely unusable in practice).

A reinstall over the top also usually works (I've had to do it 2 or 3 times with Windows 10.as it seems to have a habit of being unable to do a major upgrade - eg.1903 to 1909 or 20H2 - here). This way no need to reinstall apps, just manufacturer specific drivers, like soundcards.

Realtime bounce with IM enabled?

And if System Restore didn't work as expected, then any ire should probably be directed at Microsoft...they built that!

Each knob can control more than one parameter - that may work for you (eg. One to do both left and right delay mix).

So you can't answer - without examples, this is unhelpful and meaningless.

RegEx, not Regedit ?

What exactly do you mean by this? Real examples please.

As long as there are some default (undeleteable!) presets so you don't need to be a RegEx wizard to build your own

To be fair, a "None" for outputs would be exceptionally useful too (I find that a lot of old projects from when I had hardware synths usually point to silly things when I load them into CbB - and quite often, I don't have a MIDI interface switched on, so they all default to a soft-synth...sigh).

I have had BIOSes like that too (my current one is adamant I have 2 SATA controllers because it doesn't cope with an NVMe drive plugged into the M.2 slot and still thinks I might br able to squeeze a SATA drive in there too :-)). Do your Zip/Jaz drives still work without the click of death!?

Humour me...disable the floppy drive (you have a floppy drive in 2021!!??! :-)) in Device Manager, reboot and try again.
