Cecelius2 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I was very surprised that Scaler 2 did not have the option of moving the Sounds Library to a different location. The new Scaler 2 has a sounds library of 671MB and installed only on the C drive in the Public documents folder. Given that many are using small SSD drives for C drive and use larger hard drives for Samples, it is strange that the developers did not provide the option of moving the Sounds library. The Preferences does have a link to show where the Sounds library is, but not to change the location. Most developers now provide some means of moving or relocating the library of sounds/samples; so this should be something that is possible. The ability to move the Sounds Library has been a feature request going back to Scaler 1 and has been reported to be on the "to do" list. I and another have just made a request over on the Scaler Forum to have this feature added. The response has been that this is a feature request that will be considered once they have gotten Scaler 2 "rock solid" but that there are other features that are "prioritising over this one". This is very understandable as Scaler must be stable and bug free; however, I hope that they will follow through on this feature request to be able to move the Samples/Sounds library. BTW, Scaler 2 is a great product and so much fun and educational to use. Cecelius2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Actually find this quite important too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecelius2 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) If anyone wants to support the request to be able to relocate/move the Sounds Library, here is a link to a thread I started on the Scaler Forum: https://forum.scalerplugin.com/t/relocation-of-sounds-library/3405 Cecelius2 Edited June 4, 2020 by Cecelius2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulo Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 As a CW user is it safe to get the demo yet or am I just going to waste my time / the demo period because it doesn't work properly? No mention of CW compatibility on the PB specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention of CW compatibility on the PB specs. No clue about the demo version, but since 2.07 the production version so far has felt good on CW to me. I don't use any of the super fancy capabilities though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tezza Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Sounds like it might be time to download and install, now that they have most of the bugs ironed out. Edited July 2, 2020 by Tezza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous version was actually pretty good but I wish they would separate the samples from the core program so that you didn't need to download 700Mb for every update.

paulo Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I see that they have put the price up now that it actually works. I hope that they will be sharing the revenue from the increased price with those who paid for the original release version and unwittingly became beta testers, lol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been working well enough for a while now since release. I'm surprised they didn't raise the rate even more, unlike the vast majority of other VSTs on the market, this one actually supplies some real value to music creation.
