Since a couple of weeks now (since upgrading Scaler maybe? I cant remember whether Scaler was updated) the following actions cause the DAW to crash when Scaler is present as a track:
attempt to remove Scaler from the session
attempt to close the session (but not Exit the DAW)
I typically use Scaler within a session and then I need to remove it as an instrument when I bounce all tracks to audio and remove the instruments from the tracks.
Hello there, I watched the video and cant wait to get started. But when I install it, to the same directory as the previous version, I go to the DAW:
if i create a fresh song, and drag Scaler to a track, it is still version 2.0.9, with obviously the same problem I had in my original message.
if i go to an existing song and select the Scaler instrument on the existing track, this is also 2.0.9, with obviously the same problem as above.
I thought, ok should I uninstall and do a fresh install of Scaler and use the new version, but I am worried that should I do this then those songs which have existing Scaler instrument tracks will crash or somehow be corrupted and I will lose them. I have this thought by following the rationale that, ok removing the scaler crashes the DAW so it might be possible that a song opening and then not finding this instrument will cause a problem.
I love the look of the new features but I am obviously reticent to use an instrument which I cannot then remove down the road when I dont need it as an instrument track anymore. I have it on some important tracks.
it seems you are still running 2.0.9 which was causing those crashes, they should be fixed in 2.2.
Did you manage to install it and replace 2.0.9?
The projects you created will be compatible with Scaler 2.2, if you want to be extra-safe, you can open your projects and export the state of Scaler to a file from the Settings menu.
On top of that, in case anything goes wrong you can always reinstall 2.0.9 and reopen your projects.
Hi Ed, thanks for your message. The problem is that although I installed 2.2 to the same plugins folder to replace 2.0.9 when I go to my DAW and open up Scaler it is still 2.0.9.
This is whether I begin a new song and drag Scaler to a fresh track - 2.0.9
or
When I open an existing song and look at the Scaler instrument there it is still 2.0.9
Well, I was having trouble summoning up the courage to remove the old scaler plugin before installing 2.2 in case my songs wouldnt open.
but it solved itself. i open my daw this morning and it said it couldnt register the (old) scaler plugin.
The songs still worked, I could delete the old scaler files and install 2.2 and i’m back in business.
so the old life lesson is correct. if you have a problem,ignore it and it will solve itself eventually.
