Seems like user feedback would be a metric they would or should look at. I'm sure I'll get on board myself as the bugs are ironed out and the pricing is set. (Unless it's something crazy, which I doubt) Hearing opinions of people either happy or unhappy with the rumour mill can contain some useful info. I've been on these forums since the 90's and have seen a lot worse than the complaints here. BTW I've seen some blowup from Studio 1 users about their marketing and sub plans. All of this potential pricing and subscription upset is not happening in a vacuum

I'm liking the new look TBH. (Dark theme) The lettering looks crisper to me. It's running stable on even bigger VI heavy Projects. I'd be sad if it was Subscrip only because I just won't go that route. Otherwise, I'd love to take it for a proper spin and see what it can do on export and saving. I would miss the custom theme I worked to put together, but the dark theme is actually better on the PRV for me. Given a reasonable price, I'd probably go for the yearly upgrades just like the old days, but I just HATE the "Clock ticking in the background" feeling Subs gives. Aint gonna happen here. I have CC+ Sub w/EastWest but this will be my last year for that very reason

Damn! You mean I'm not a computer genius?!? Still, none of the posts in this particular thread are very old, so I feel it still might be helpful to some. I didn't have to use BBCSO for quite a while so I can't be sure how long it was broken for CW. I had thought it was a recent problem.

I found the answer in the Spitfire forum for BBCSO. I tried the various suggestions and after a bit of trial and error, was able to get it to load. I basically got rid of the BBCSO .vst3 sitting on it's own in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3. There is also a BBCSO folder there as well. I Renamed the folder (getting rid of the .vst3 suffix.) I Then went into that folder and pulled out a BBCSO .vst3 file that is in there. Replaced the earlier vst3 file I had deleted (The one that was sitting on it's own in the common files) with the one I copied. Success! My guess is the various .vst3 filenames in different spots threw Cake off on which one to use. I Also made sure to scan when I got rid of the .vst3 and then scanned again after restoring with the new .vst3 so Cake did not get confused. I might not have had to do all this, but it worked (finally) so I'm temporarily a computer genius! YMMV, But I hope this helps. https://community.spitfireaudio.com/discussion/2737/bbc-symphony-orchestra-v1-7-0-update-vst-plug-in-error

Windows always updates. Pain in the @#$@ Been awhile since I used BBCSO so there have been many updates since. No amount of re-installs or other measures have worked. The only plug except for SM EQ 4 that has problems 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700K @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz 128 GB Ram Windows 10 Pro OS build 19045.3930

Same here with BBCSO. Works fine in ableton

I opened a project that had been repeatedly crashing after uninstalling SM EQ4. It is working perfectly now. This project wasn't even using SM EQ4 in the first place, but the uninstall seems to have done the trick. Truth be told, I'm kinda shocked. Never experienced just having a plugin in your SYSTEM cause problems like this. Like many, I have Hundreds of plugins that have piled up over the years (Win 10)

I uninstalled SM EQ4 and will let you know if things improve for CW now. BTW, Have the problems with the final CW update been resolved? I'm on the next to last version right now and it was (Up till this happened) very stable. I have not wanted to mess with what was working

Sorry to see this. I'm having problems in CW as well

I picked up the upgrade for 29$. Ever since, CW has been going a little crazy with unusual crashes and choking up that were previously only rare. It could be something else, but I noticed it crashed CW right away on a project the day I downloaded it. CW has now been cranky on almost everything since. With or without SM EQ4 in the project. Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

I was. I had tried to edit the old theme and re-save, but no soap. I will check out the new themes available. Thanks again!

No. I'll try that! That did the trick! Thanks!

I'm using build 2022.02 and finding the Archive buttons on the track view are half hidden. no matter how I change the settings or themes it remains this way. Obviously I could try the next version, but I see no info about this problem in the update notes. Anyone else see this? This happens on all tracks regardless of expansion level

I missed that one! Did the trick! Thanks!

Downloaded Reaper. Problem disappears. Not sure what CW is doing to goof these up. I'd rather not learn a whole new DAW but the ease of MIDI clip handling was beautiful. It's got me thinking!

Sonokinetic and Instruments stop sounding after recording MIDI. Both Cappricio and Indie. They respond to MIDI but no sound. Purging does not help. Reloading restores them but they stop responding again. My system Win7 DAW Cakewalk. No problems with other Kontakt instruments. Scaler also goes dead after any MIDI Recording or movement. Sonokinetic support said this "It sounds like your DAW is applying automation to the library. Have you tried the libraries in standalone mode outside of your DAW to see if you still get the same issue?" I tried this and Both work fine in Kontakt as a stand alone. I've tried just about anything I can think of. Changed settings, etc. Nothing Any suggestions?

As I figured, I would lose all my passwords and tons of other info and settings to upgrade on this system. I will have to build a new one and slowly port over everything. The old computer will make a fine office computer anyway. Thanks for the input everyone!

I figured I would have to do a whole new build and slowly port over my stuff. You're saying an upgrade would be that simple? Truth be told I never look at upgrade techniques except every 5 years or so. It's been 8 with this system

Inserting Nectar as a track effect does not work well. Effects stutter, and sometimes simply won't work. I've had to use it as a Bus effect only. It happily lives there. I am win 7 with an i7 and 16 gig of ram. Not even close to pushing either the ram or the chip, so that's not the problem. I also tried to insert neutron as a clip effect. That crashed CW as it loaded an endless loop of Neutron iterations. Fortunately I was just experimenting and didn't blow up anything critical
