VCC Released

VCC demo crashes everytime on my system.
I open one istance of vcc and every daw (Protools, Reaper,etc...) gives me an ilok error like it doesn't recognize ilok and when I cancel the loading, the daw crashes.
I downloaded every ilok driver but nothing changes. It's not an ilok problem because Trigger works like a charm
 
This has probably been answered, but can you transfer (for free) licenses from an iLok1 to an iLok2? I don't want to deal with 2 dongle's :(.

Would be in for a group buy, probably going to purchase next week anyways, though.

Yep. Its done in seconds, did that for all my plugins
Haha, I was transferring the licenses to the new iLok when Safari lost connection to the internet.. Fucked up both iLoks and I spent 4 hours restarting the mac and clicking "repair iloks" but the damn website wouldn't finish the repairing process. *sigh*
It did work in the end, though and everything's fine now. I had 50 licenses to move so it took a few minutes, but if your browser doesn't crash or you loose internet connection, it's really just 3 clicks.
 
Wow, massive difference having VCC on and off that mix. I'm assuming you're driving that quite hard? Gives it a great fatness and saturation. Just sounds so much more like a record!

Yup =D Spot on.

For me, this is the BIGGEST appeal off VCC to me. I can mix like I imagine I would on an analog console. I like to slam the SHIT out of my channels and ESPECIALLY my mixbuss...

well, really only since having purchased the VCC beta.. that was always my tendency before but it always sounded awful to me (duh...)

now the DAW kind of BENDS like a console would!!! =D

STEVEN, i would LOVE TO UPDATE to 1.0 on my system but i'm TERRIFIED i will have to almost remix half of the current record i'm working on!

I'm on a XP SP3 system with Nuendo 4 (stable as hell on my system!). I know you are running a similar setup my question is:

is it possible to revert BACK to the beta 2.5 if I don't dig what 1.0 is doing to this particular mix? i'd first copy my current 2.5 beta .dll files to another location, delete them from my vstplugins folder, THEN INSTALL VCC 1.0 using the NEW INSTALLER....

i don't want to take the chance but my curiousity is killing me!!!!! =D

going to PM you this question, as well!
 
Crille, care to repost that comparison after fixing the guitars? Not exactly a fair comparison with a 6dB difference haha

P.S. been using VCC on everything since October

Make a recovery disk image of your system now, then try 1.0 if you dont like it, run the recovery to take you back to where you were.
 
why do plugins always have installers?
i don't know how it works on a MAC but
on a windows machine it's just one .ddl file.

so why does it have to be installed?

why not just upload a rar of the dll file?

so everyone can just download the file and place it into the usual plugin folder,
download, delete old version, paste new version, done...

Not always, sometimes a runtime update of the language the plugin is witten in is required for the plugin to run correctly or there are presets or other associated files etc etc

yeah, but none of the slate plugins seems to use any of this.
just made a system restart and copied the plugins in the
new vst folder...works. there were only a few plugins i tried in
the past few years that did not work this way.

what about the pace protection? did it not install anything to do with that at the same time?
Maybe its a fail safe in case non knowledgeable people dont copy/paste to the wrong place too.

yeah, this may be the reason, on the other hand, everybody who
is using any kind of music related software should be able to find
out where the plugin path is and place the plugin there :lol:

dunno about the ilok thing but i think that it does have
nothing to do with the installation.

i think it would be cool if slate would include
the single dll's in the downloads, it's much easier
to update by just replacing the files IMHO.

So can you confirm that it's literally just 2 .dll files for the VCC? Because I can't find anything more on my mac
