Hi CakeAlex, I'm not trying to be too harsh. Yes I did check the settings options, though I kind of expected more of a plug and play experience. So, after buying the SPro update and getting the C3, I just started the DL. Then as it got started I began wondering about where stuff was going. I'm the type that even wants to know where the temp extraction stuff gets put. No temp data is allowed on the SSD, there are HDDs for that stuff. So, I stopped the DL and gave the C3 another look where I noticed the cog. It's not exactly in a 'toolbar' and might have been just another decoration (no text suggested a settings function), but there isn't some sort of menu with a 'Settings' or 'Defaults' option or even an initialization screen so maybe that would be the settings tucked away innocuously. Most CW stuff does have an init screen that can then be turned off (like for hints,etc).
Sure enough, the cog was for settings, yeh. So, I perused the options. OK, I can set my 32/64b VST locations. I've got other DAWs with these so far so good. And VST3's. I don't have any but know they're coming so since I've got locations setup, and I pointed at those. And then the 3rd section was for the DL location which is what I was looking for. No extraction location option, but I'll live with that. I'm not too sure what the max connections is for. Not having seen it in action I wasn't going to mess with it. I suspect it controls the number of files that can be simultaneously DL (maybe to take better advantage of mirrors and servers?). But, don't know, don't mess with it. Language, well I'd gotten this far so English must be good enough for me.
And that's where it got interesting. I looked around for a scroll bar, none in sight. Maybe another page option, no again. So, where was I going to be able to select some options for the program installation. Ahhh, I got it. There will be a option setup screen following the DLs. Must be it. So, I restart the DL. After 12 hrs or so, and 3 or 4 DL fails and re-starts, the DLs completed. I'd seen a thread that the DLs would be deleted upon installation which would be very bad, but not beyond imagination. This is why I was watching for completion of the DLs so closely. That rumor is untrue. Only interrupted DLs appear to be deleted and re-started. I was anxiously awaiting this moment. As an aside it would be really nice to show the total GBs needed prior to starting the DL to be sure the disk has enough space and show the actual MBs DL vs total along with the percentage complete. My ISP has a nasty habit of cutting my already limited DL speed in half and this lets me monitor them.
Anyway, it completed and then just jumped off and started installing stuff. I had no idea where until I got a chance to look at the shortcut properties and figure out it all went to the C: drive to my dismay. As it approached completion, I actually copied the DL dir to another partition just prior to completion so that if disaster struck as it often does, I could at least resume from an almost complete DL status. naturally, once things got installed and the installers were still intact, I re-copied those to an external destination for safekeeping.
So, to answer your question. Yes, I did discover and look at and setup the cog config settings. I'm looking at the cog screen right now and still don't see any Sonar installation options, a more page, or a scroll bar where they might be located. Perhaps I'm still missing something. It wouldn't be the first time. Maybe there is some update that escaped me? Please surprise me.
I'm also now of the opinion that C3 should be set to 'Run as Admin' prior to running it as well, but that's speculation on my part as the doc's seem to be silent on the matter.
