I have no way of knowing, but I would like to think that if you are paid up when it's released you own it and it should appear on your products page....Or I could be all wet!

Me too Charly, I'm just not sure about if I wait if I will still get everything. I probably knew and forgot... I do that a lot. Thanks.

Addictive Drums wont install. Everything else has worked fine but when I go to XLN, download the zip file, extract all, double click 64bit to install I get a popup window that says the page cannot be opened or whatever the regular navigation failure page in windows says. I've tried saving it, I've tried just running it, I've tried as Administrator, I've tried just running it. I've disabled malware protection in Malwarebytes, and added an exclusion in MAlwarebytes, I've disables popup blocker. Still I get navigation to this website was cancelled.
Any ideas why?

I logged in to XLN Audio but still cannot get to the install page. OH well, I'll get in touch with them next week and get it done.
 
Well DANG... I spent 30 minutes trying to update because CCC said there was an update then finally gave up, went back to CCC and the light is now green. I guess this was the fix before the CCC fix. IDK..
 
Anyway, no problem I guess.

Now the fact that the stuff turns red when it is already installed is absolutely unacceptable and looks completely amateur. Period. Those are NOt harsh words. Those are truth. It looks "Jimmy Rigged".



This is because the CCC doesn't know about stuff it didn't install. The reason for the long Foxboro update where you basically need to download everything is for compatibility with the next CCC, which supposedly will be aware of previously installed elements.
 
As to stability issues, something as simple as overclocking or an outdated graphics driver can wreak havoc...not saying that's the issue, but overall, SONAR has been extremely stable for me since Platinum hit. But it required some work on the rest of my system to get there. As just one example, I was shocked how much matters improved when I removed the HD Audio codec my graphics card driver package installed. Once that was gone, it was like I had a different computer.




Hi Craig
 
Each time I remove my graphic's card HD Audio Device, it reinstalls it upon restarting my computer. I usually end up just disabling it per session. Plt has been pretty stable of recent, so with/without, I not seeing much of an advantage but I have wanted to at least disable it to ensure the best system environment when using Sonar. How did you get rid of it and stop it from re-installing upon each restart?
 
Thanks

Don't remove the HD audio.... instead disable it. Then It will remain disabled after a reboot.

After each reboot, it always seems to get re-enabled automatically. I disable the HD Audio Controller after which it disappears from the Sound, Video and game Controllers section in System.

If you don't notice a difference, don't worry about it. Like upsampling, sometimes it makes a big difference, sometimes not...you may need to go into msconfig and tell Windows not to do something upon starting.

If you just disable it, it won't disappear. If it disappears, you have uninstalled it.. Trust me, I just jumped through those hoops. In my case, the Win 10 preview seems to want access to those drivers, but I think that will go away at the end of the month..... oh and they cause havoc because this is a multi-use PC.

How are you finding win 10? I'm on Win8.1 update 1 maybe take it to another thread in the Software forum!
