Correct. And, of course, it will install on Win 10 or is there a special way to go about it?? By the way Scook, thank you for directing me over here. Don't know why I didn't find this thread. I certainly searched. Oh well . thank you. Trying to get all my ducks in order before the end of the week and the unit arrives. thank you all.

Further, VST3 64-bit plugins MUST be in C:\Program Files\Common\VST3 I place 64-bit VST2 plugins in: C:\Program Files\VST64 and when possible I go on level deeper, with a sub-folder within VST64 for each plugin, as there are often additional files for presets or documentation, etc., and I like to keep it all organized that way, so within VST64, there will be a folder for Arturia, and its plugins and files live there, another folder for Native Instruments (I abbreviate it as NI), another folder for Korg, etc.... I have 32-bit plugins in: C:\Program Files (x86)\VST32, again using sub-folders to group plugins by the company they came from Additionally, I happen to have J-Bridge, so I have a folder in VST32 called J-Bridged Plugins and that is the only 32-bit path in my VST Settings Scan Paths in Preferences - the whole path to that is: C:\Program Files (x86)\VST32\J-Bridged Plugins Bob Bone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xoo Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I'd also strongly advise your 32 bit VST2 folder to be outside Program Files (x86) - say C:\VST (x86) - so you don't run into UAC/permissions issues for "bad" old plug-ins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studioguy1 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Ok...got everything installed...right up and through Sonar Platinum. It tells me I am in demo mode?????????? I've cut three albums with this software and I am now back in demo mode after paying all my appropriate fees through those years. I am not going to repeat here what my response is to that. It sent me online to get a new authorization, though I have all my old serial numbers etc. Of course, it will NOT let me put any code in because I need the authorization from some unknown person. Holy crap. This is frustrating. Can't get my bandlab to work because it seesn this in limbo. I do not have time to BS around with this. I may have to finally move to another daw. Have had a couple of sleepless nights over this now. What to do? What to do? Damn, damn, damn. Meanwhile this stupid blue demo Mode square is hanging in my lower left hand corner telling me to activate this offline. Right. Stick it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studioguy1 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Thank you. Just did that. Sorry for venting my frustrations but I am working against a deadline and thought I could easily pull this off since I kept all my install files and codes. No cigar. Thanks for taking the time to respond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol_Jonesey Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Back to my original topic ? At last I'm ready to start the migration to the new Windows 10 drive I've found all my old installers & downloads from the CCC so good to go on that front A question regarding sample based VSTi's Many of the instruments that I use, Rapture Pro, BFD2, EWQLSO etc already have their samples & loops installed They are on my D drive which is visible to the Windows 7 & Windows 10 environments i don't want to have to install them all again, so is there an easy way just to get the dll's installed and then point them to where the data is? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Depends on the installer. There are no options with Rapture WRT samples. They install with the plug-in but the sample library is very small. After install, delete the multisample folder and replace it with a directory junction to "real" folder. Sample-based plug-ins with larger libraries often have more sophisticated installers with alternate install paths and minimal installations.

scook Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 You'll get through it. Fortunately, machine swaps don't happen every day. Unfortunately, they happen so infrequently, it is difficult to remember how the build-out goes. I don't try to replicate my current setup. Instead, do the minimum and add as I go along.

Bristol_Jonesey Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) Here's a good one I've installed everything up to and including Platinum, mostly through the CCC However, I can't see the Blue Tubes suite that were bundled with X3 & Splat I've only done a minimum installation of X3 but installed everything from Splat. Any ideas? Edited July 18, 2020 by Bristol_Jonesey Additional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
