Re: Softube Server down again!

Oh geez... now it looks like they're up again. I'm hoping this fixes the Software Central issues.

Softube Server down again!

I was freaking out... having issues with the latest Softube Central update... was trying to uninstall something... just weird behavior. Also troubleshooting another issue and was very close to doing a restore to an APFS snapshot that was older than it should have been which would have required me to...

Issues with Steinberg Backbone and The Grand

Having issues in DP 11.31 and Sonoma 14.5 with Steinberg Backbone (1.6.0) and The Grand (1.3.0) Backbone (AU) just comes up with a blank GUI. I tried the VST3 version and it actually works but with graphics issues. Clicking "LOAD" will not show the browser until you close the plugin window...

Re: iLok server down! (and East West Opus vulnerabilty?)

I received a similar response:
Looking into this more - it does appear to be a bug in Opus specifically on Mac (windows doesn't have the issue running offline) - it's been reported to our developers and we will hopefully have a solution for it soon.

Steinberg/DP Issues Resolved - MediaBay 1.1.80 Released!

Making a separate topic so more people see it. Steinberg released MediaBay 1.1.80 which fixes the issues with their VIs and DP, which makes the (less than ideal workaround) of uninstalling MediaBay entirely unnecessary now. You can just run the Steinberg Download Assistant and it will update automat...

Re: Steinberg PADSHOP and GROOVE AGENT crashes my DP 11

GREAT NEWS.... MEDIA BAY 1.1.80 IS OUT TODAY AND IT FIXES ISSUES WITH DP!!!! I just verified it. Both downloading the installer direct or letting Steinberg Download Assistant update/install it on launch. MediaBay 1.1.70 is replaced by MediaBay 1.1.80 and it fixes the problems with Digital Performer...

Re: Steinberg PADSHOP and GROOVE AGENT crashes my DP 11

Thanks a lot James, Your advice to deinstall MediaBay solved the issue. Now Groove Agent 5.x runs and doesn't crash DP11. If Steinberg Download Assistant installs Media Bay again, I'll deinstall it. Well, one of these days Steinberg will update MediaBay and hopefully fix this issue, which, AFAIK is...

Re: Can I divert Mac keyboard app to an iPad temporarily?

It came today... I did give up a few of the function keys I had on my wired keyboard in favor of the Bluetooth selector keys, so I had to remap a few keyboard shortcuts, but all seems to be good so far. Going to remember to turn backlight off in the daytime when it's not need as that significantly c...

Re: iLok server down! (and East West Opus vulnerabilty?)

Opus introduced a feature that allows Composers Cloud users to download any/all the EW instruments from the internet live, while the project is running. Quite useful. I use this feature all the time. However, I don't recall seeing anywhere that DAWs with Opus installed wouldn't work without an inte...

Re: iLok server down! (and East West Opus vulnerabilty?)

Could it just be a bug with the latest version of Opus 1.5.1? You may be onto something. I was mentioning this in a post on VI Control, and a couple people said they had no issues when turning off WiFi. However... the one that did mention the Opus version was using Opus 1.3.9. I just hope it's a &q...

Re: iLok server down! (and East West Opus vulnerabilty?)

Never mind, the iLok server issue, Opus also doesn’t work if you have no Internet connection! I just tried it. With my Internet connection disabled the Opus plugin will launch, but it hangs when you load an instrument. ….reenabling the internet connection, Opus behaves normally. Could it just be a ...

Re: iZotope's Website

I was not able to move Harrison plugins to iLok. I could find them on the SSL installer but it said I hadn’t paid for them so I couldn’t get the iLok code. I just kept using the Harrison text files. I bought MB 10 and the receipt directed me to the SSL install app, but that did not show the purchas...

Re: iLok server down! (and East West Opus vulnerabilty?)

Honestly, I bought Goliath before really listening to samples and it's a bit long-in-tooth. I didn't need it... even on sale. I'm considering writing to East West and asking for a refund and to revoke my licenses since I have found out I'm dependent on the cloud when I should NOT be.
