Scaler / Scaler 2 Issues

[Dave Oliffe]

Hi folks, Anyone using Scaler or Scaler 2?

I'm having serious difficulty in getting it to play nice with Cakewalk. I've tried the Scaler forums, but they insist it's a Cakewalk thing.

Rather than post my issue - could you just let me know if you use Scaler at all? If you are, and it works for you, then I'm sure you can help me out.

 

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave

I haven't had any issues with scaler. Scaler 2 how ever has two issues. One is that dragging midi into cakewalk creates two identical midi clips. Second is that projects that uses scaler 2 won't open. Do you have same issues or do you have different issues?

Update: Seems like loading issue is only with VST3 version of scaler2.

Not the only vst3 with "issues" in CbB. Generally not CbB that's at issue!
Personally, I generally grab the vst2 of most everything first.
Just because its new doesn't mean its better...

Not that i said that's the case.

For a long time, I kind of refused to realize the inferiority of the VST3 standard... but U-he made me change my mind:

That's not to say that it can't or won't be improved upon in the future, of course. And "inferiority" might have been too strong a word for a nuanced discussion, but it's clearly not "simply better".

Ofc. To be honest, i didn't even pay attention which version i was using until i started having issues.

Hi guys, forgive me but how do I go about using the VST2 version of Scaler2 instead of VST3?

Open VST2 plug-ins folder in browser and drag it to track view from there

If you want it to be visible in instrument list, you can right click a plugin in browser and assign categories to it.

There's an option in the Preferences to Hide Related VST2 plugins, if you want to see both the VST2 and VST3 versions, make sure that's unchecked.

Or move the VST3 plug-in out of the scan path if you still want to hide other VST2 plug-ins that have working VST3 versions.
