This is crazy, but I experienced this in 2.8 and just experienced it after installing 2.9.
I am using studio one, 6.6.1 On a Mac M1 As soon as I pull the scaler instrument into my channel list and with everything muted except for Scaler2 And the main output. I hear ocean sounds that repeat probably every 45 seconds.
Is just a wash of white noise sounds very much like waves crashing on the beach I cannot figure out where the sound is coming from Again, this is a brand new Instance of scaler 2 instrument before I ask it to detect anything.
I noticed this happening a month ago after I successfully used scaler 2 To create a violin part. At some point, Scaler just went crazy and started making this sound so I rendered the track to audio and removed the instrument. Now I have another task for scaler to do and right off the bat the white noise is back.
Sounds like you are running in Demo mode. Scaler does not use iLok but uses a license file that you download from your Plugin Boutique account. Once you download the license you navigate to it from Scaler.
Here is a video tutorial.
That was indeed the problem. Oddly, When I first Clicked The logo. The blue S, I got nothing about registration It showed sync and import export state, And about/help. Choosing about resulted in nothing So I reinstalled this time to my primary Drive And it responded appropriately I didn’t need to register since it was already registered but showed my email as registered to I had installed to my main audio Drive the first time. Anyway, problem solved, thank you so much
