Update-loading dilemna-shoulda listened to Glennbo
in [Cakewalk]

Prev: okay-how is the New York vol.2 expansion for sup2.0?
Next: where's the registration for Metal Foundry?
From: jeffl on 9 Dec 2009 13:22 After going to GC to swap out my Metal Foundry discs (and I also ended up buying the New York legacy series) I'm in about 6 hours trying to get this to work-yikes! The Metal Foundry has loaded the first disc successfully onto my DAW but when I move to the 2nd disc it hangs up in the same place the last batch of metal foundry discs I had-appears I have made a mistake --it isn't the discs after all--(shoulda listened to Glennbo). Okay-now it looks as though my dvd drive is bad. Jim Roseberry was good enough to help me over the phone and is sending out a swap for it. I don't really want to wait for my new drive to get here -Can I just load the rest of the dvds (samples only) thru my internet computer onto an external drive and copy them into the folder --or do I have to go thru the 1st dvd: ie-start the "install" process and install the dvds as the program prompts. If I go thru the 1st dvd-will it automatically store everything onto the external drive (Including program files--assuming the metal foundry has some extra program files of its own even tho it is run thru the Superior Drummer 2.0)--and would I just drag this into my DAW into my sample storage drive-will this work?--just want some input before i spend more time loading all this stuff (as always)-any help appreciated Jeff

Metal Foundry should have soundb1 - soundb24 and a file called soundstats in the "sounds" folder. Allaire has 1 - 5 plus soundstats and Hit factory has 1 - 4 plus soundstats -- =========== John Braner jbraner(a)NOblueyonderSPAM.co.uk http://www.soundclick.com/johnbraner
From: jeffl on 9 Dec 2009 15:35 Cripes-sorry about the confusing post. FWIW I'm just installing the whole thing onto an external drive via my internet computer (with a dvd drive that works)-then I will plug this external drive into my DAW and then it should run "John Braner" <me(a)myhouse.com> wrote in message news:hfp0ns$trv$1(a)news.eternal-september.org... > jeffl wrote: >> After going to GC to swap out my Metal Foundry discs (and I also ended up >> buying the New York legacy series) I'm in about 6 hours trying to get >> this to work-yikes!

Some DVD drives just don't like those disks. Funny, his DAW was built by Jim Roseberry to. Anyway, he came to my studio an I dragged the sound files he needed on to a couple of thumb drives and he was up and running later that night. -- Dave "Mod Bod" Modisette http://www.gatortraks.com/forum http://www.gatortraks.com |
