I went through all the soft synths tonight and have trouble with two... <RESOLVED>
I was reading in the Cakewalk Instruments forum and found the answer. I have to "run as administrator". Beagle had suggested that I turn off AUD? I think that is it, a W7 64 security thing. I turned it off then I reconsidered and turned it back on since this is a multi-use computer... but heck, run as administrator is only a couple of extra clicks. I will disable it when I buy a dedicated desktop in December. Anyway, Run as Admin made everything smooth. I wonder if that could have anything to do with the problems I have been having installing and running EZDrummer LITE... (I am tired of fooling with it but will try once more in a day or two with Admin)
The IK Sampletank free will load but will not allow any loading of samples. IT tells me to close it and reopen it but right clicking the "icon" and chosing to run with administrative priviledges. I tried the link in the borwser, I tried the icon in the track when loaded, I tried in prorgams in the vst folder I could not get an option to run as administrator. I reloaded it, I triedloading it in programs cakewalk vst. It informed me that it possibly did notinstall correctly and to re-install it using default setings. I did, I put it in the x86 folder where it wanted to go. I re-registered it on the IK website... still no luckfindinga way to run it with administrative priviledges... so I need help.
2nd Pentagon 1 will not work... or at least I have not figured it out.
3rd True pianos will not play usin the mouse. Usually I can at least get a key to move even if I get no sound. I am going to hook up the OC tomorrow and try everything as best I can. I wonder, since I have Dim Pro, I have a Yamaha PSR-2100 (whichhas some nice piano sounds, and I have GPO4... do I need True Pianos for 126 bucks (that is the discounted price aith X1) I'm thinking I really don't need it but still, so far I cnnot get it to even pretend to work.
So Pentagon 1, Sampletank 2.5 free, and True Pianos... are givingme trouble, ST has given me trouble all along, I have not played Amplitude yet but it loads and acts as if it is going to be fine, I will find out tomorrow,
Any ideas on how to run ST Free player in administrative? I was able to do it once in the past because the first time I tried the option was there, not it is not. I thought that once I ran it that way it would remember and work. If it is going to be a PITA I will lose it.
Thanks for any advice. I will check back tomorrow AM sometime. G'nite. I;ve been uo about 18 hours now... I hope I sleep tonight.
Thank you for the help,
Julien
