Loading MachFive Soundbank DVDs

Post by XXF »

Hello. I am trying to load the Soundbank DVDs onto a Mac Pro. Error message comes up. According to the manual, you need to load it onto a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) drive. I am doing that. Still error message. Any help? Thanks. MachFive 2.

Might help if you say what the error message is.

If it's like Mach Five3 you simply copy the UFS file on the DVD to the hard drive. No "loading".

Yes, just copy the context of the DVD to the HD. Don't try to transfer it via MachFive. No workie that way.

They are in that regard.

In addition, you have to authorize your iLok separately for Soundbank. It doesn't work like authorizing MachFive - there are extra steps - but, with some patience, you will get it.
