Pathfinder

Not meaning to grab the ops post but after months of trying every suggestion I just cannot get Dim Pro to work correctly. A few of the sounds work, 99% do not. I have given up at this point.

Well, it stops me-So? I don't think ANYONE has been MORE vocal than I have been..............too much! Will it be forever? who knows-But I won't be forever either.....Come on man-Give folks a little credit!

I also have had arthritis all my life-Started with Psoriatic Arthritis and graduated to Osteoarthritis. The only thing that helps me is to keep playing. I was told by an arthritis doc decades ago that playing the guitar is what has kept my fingers from getting worse. My index finger on my chording hand is permanently bent and has been for many years. I have adapted my playing over the years to fit my hands. It works. I am very glad to hear that CWBL will continue. I will say Thank You to those that made this possible.........

I also do NOT consider myself a troll (30+ years with CW) or chaos................I know that's NOT what you meant-Just sayin ?

Never mind- no point! Regards Frank

Never, ever has this been the case. 30+ years of Cakewalk-I dared to challenge and speak my mind about the policing policy? No explanation-Gosh I wonder who did this? So now, the Cakewalk forum is a police state? Yes here at Cakewalk by Bandlab we know how to win over our customers-Yes we do! ☹️

Craig-OK they are not all millionaires. I don't see what that has to do with either letting us purchase a license or just tell us we can't? I don't understand why you and others seek to rationalize this situation? Just tell me I will NOT be able to purchase a license in the foreseeable future because as of right now we have no plans to sell licenses. Simple, all this back and forth goes away and folks like me will do whatever we need to do- instead of hanging around hoping that the product we WANT will be available to purchase. On another forum, I was slammed when I defended CWBL-Why? Because others suggested it was free so folks got comfortable with it, use to it, used it everyday, etc and then their would be a price. As stated many times by many others besides myself-no one is asking for it to be free-just not all SUBSCRIPTIONS. Guess it's time I woke up myself and just moved on to another daw. I will from this point forward. I will continue to use CWBL as long as I am permitted but at the same time will be learning another daw so I can finally make the transition complete. I also am so tired of hearing "it was free for xxx amount of years". Who cares? I never asked for free. I have no doubt most long time CW users like myself also never asked for free. we would have paid-no problem. I will end here and not participate in discussions about this BS again.................SAD!

So the guy that owns Bandlab is NOT really a multi-Billionaire? In response to no luxury cars in the parking lot?

I will try the suggestion 1-4. I know I can disable Bit defender, I don't like to do that. Hopefully your process will work Thanks very Much!

DP works fine-long ago I had the expansion packs . Not essential but some were nice. I am sure Bit Defender gives false positives like many others but, as stated,1-3 expansion packs would have been nice , not worth the trouble. Shouldn't it be a zip file, or an exe? Why htm file? oh well-no biggie.

Appreciate the replies but Bit Defender, which I have been using for over 2 decades. will NOT let me bypass the warning. In the past, I was always able to bypass it by selecting the option about i understand, blah, blah, blah. The HTM as mentioned by Glenn S. bothers me also. I have decided it's not that important-sad really.

So found a thread on forum that led me to the CW download for all my products (NOT the CCC). Installed Dim Pro 1.5 over the one that I installed from CCC. Then I attempted to install the 1-3 Dim Pro expansion packs and I get this from newest up to date Bit defender Total Security: Web Protection by Bitdefender Dangerous page blocked for your protection file:///S:/___Dimension%20Pro%201.5%20with%20exp%20packs/Dimension_Pro_Free_Expansion_Packs_1-3.zip.htm Dangerous pages attempt to install software that can harm the device, gather personal information or operate without your consent. I know sometimes we get false warnings but wanted to check with you folks first. I never found a link before to Dim Pro 1.5, before this. Reason O I am re -installing is Dim Pro just never worked consistently for me over the last few years. Thanks BTW, this the website that I got from the thread. Seemed legit to me? https://legacy.cakewalk.com/My-Account/Products

True!

It seems many here don't understand or just dismiss the obvious fact that many of us just do NOT like subscriptions. It's not about the $15, Especially when we have been led to believe that a product will be offered to purchase SOON!

I think they should sell us a copy-PERIOD!

Excuse me for asking a simple question on the CAKEWAK forum instead of watching 3 videos? Like I was suppose to know all the videos John made? Jeeezzz!

As title says. after reinstalling CWbyBL I installed basic Sonar Plat to get the TTS-1. Is this the latest version of TTS-1 or do I need something else? Thanks

Didn't realize we had a control Center ? oh Product Center...........

Well John- You make sense-My C drive for win 10 pro x64 is a new Samsung 990 Evo 1TB. Many Thanks to you and Tom. sure wish my memory was even half as good as my vocals and guitar playing - But it isn't. Still not looking forward to re-installing my VSTS-but many I don't use so I need to check as I go!

I KNOW CW requires NO SAMPLES. . Well studio Instruments do. CW WANTS to install these to C drive. I get that my VSTS have most all f the samples,BUT---I have not installed CW in a long time nd I have Cakewalk Contens and ALL the larger CW folders on my sample drive. Just don't remember how i did it. Like I said I am guessing mlink or something like that. But when I did it the first time the sample drive was empty. Anyway thanks for the eply-I honestly think I explained it pretty well in my OP. I'll figure something out-thanks

No one? OK. Kind of a bummer......Oh well!

So, finally, motherboard died. Got new GPU, PSU and Asus Z790-A motherboard. I have NOT installed CW yet because: I have 3 nvme2's- 1 is OS, 1 is Audio, those are easy, BUT, my sample drive has all the CW content files, multisamples, etc. IAH, I do not remember the best way to approach the install? Sample drive has all the VST samples also. I NEED the samples, etc on the Sample drive, not on the C drive, which is where CW wants to install them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. mlink? is that the ticket? HOW? Thanks-at least Daw, well PC for now is running great and fast. Long day of windows BS so I ill attack this stuff tomorrow. iirc most, if not all of my VSTs have custom install options but iirc CWbyBL doesn't! Thanks

Curious? Wasn't Rapture Pro Full suppose to be like the bigger brother of Dim Pro? I still have al the mulisamples installed for Rapture Pro on my sample drive-I have tons of room so I never deleted them-I just uninstalled RPro-as stated just never could get it to work correctly @john Vere Re-installing Dim Pro seems to have fixed any issues-so far anyway-Thanks

Wondering if re installing ALL of Di Pro from CCC might help - as stated I get maybe 20% of the available instruments yet they all are in the same place? Also I purchased the standalone Rapture Pro but just could never get it to work consistently-presently uninstalled but I do have the files and the serials. same with Dim Pro

I rec'd dim pro with one of the purchases but I also purchased a stand alone version.
