After a week of Support not understanding my issue, it has been supposedly been kicked to Engineering. That was over two weeks ago and I have not heard back. The issue is that the IK Project Manager does not know that Pianoverse Concert Grand YF3 has installed properly and may not quit hanging...

A couple things. 1) Pianoverse must be registered separately from running the installer. If you haven't hit the red Register button and entered the serial number there (even though it already shows in the Software tab), the project manager will still assume Demo mode. 2) Here's the fun one: I...

Uhhh yeah... The way that IKM works, it's a numbers game. Rule 1: It's a game. Rule 2: You play it with numbers. Rule 3: If there are any questions, see Rules 1 & 2. It would be nice if Support comes through for you, though. I do have a question for you. Are you using the Ivory II Studio...

He posted an Aaron Copland piece and Boosey and Hawkes issued the notice. It is exactly the right tree because is exactly what happened as I was able to show. Had anyone else been in contact, you would be pretty much correct — but that isn't what happened.

That’s too bad. Fortunately, for what you want to do, there are plenty of other composers who have been gone longer than 70 years whose works are now in the Public Domain. The rules are a bit different for the USA where PD begins 95 years after first publication (the +70 year rule won’t catch...

For the Mac, this was finally fixed in v. 1.10.0 of the IK Project Manager a few weeks ago. I see that an update to 1.14 dropped in the last few days (first time I've fired it up since NAMM). Hopefully, this has been fixed for Windows, too. The IK Project Manager and previous installation...

Well, I'm waiting on the Bösendorfer 200 as it's a library that I can't find anywhere else. Sometimes, a VI is more convenient than setting up a session for the one in my living room. I played a 280 at NAMM last week. It was nice but didn't impress me as much as I expected.

The bots are better than you give them credit for but there's another kind and that's the trolls. The trolls are largely Brazilian and Russian (incl. TuneCore) but not exclusively. They will claim similarity to works and arrangements that are preposterous. Post an arrangement of "Greensleeves"...

So far, there have been no correct answers to the OP. To post an arrangement or recording of a copyrighted work in an area where the public has access, you need written permission from the publisher. Period. It’s pretty easy to find contact information in ASCAP/ACE or BMI Song Search. Most...

I’m likening that a lot but am more impressed with the Bösendorfer 280. It’s about time that someone developed one that wasn’t yet another 290 (though IKM’s Alan Parson’s Imperial is my wife’s favorite VI). I’m also excited about their upcoming Bösendorfer 200. We recently restored our hundred...

NI is easy after you’ve relocated one library. I have Komplete Ultimate Collectors and just set up a new Mac Studio with a new external VI drive. It took a few minutes — less than 10.

Sonoma works fine for me except for certain Adobe apps, especial Acrobat Professional, that are not yet compatible. I have a workaround but it’s a PIA. That’s the only reason I wish I hadn’t updated from Ventura.

Two more thing you got wrong. I can go through, quote your posts and point out in detail everything you got wrong and why. It’s a list but what does that serve? Also, I did not call you an idiot. Reread my exact quote—it’s still up there. Shall I post it again? Back to your question, Apple...

There is no such thing as a TB4 enclosure or drive—it’s possible but it needs to be part of a powered hub. A TB4 port allows up to five TB3 devices on a hub or daisy-chain (only the first device can be bus powered). TB4 cables support higher Voltage for charging—up to 240V / 1M on a few. Both...

That's quite nice.

Now you're being aggressively wrong. If you repeat yourself over and over again, then you're just wrong over and over again. The old USB 3.1 is now USB 3.2 gen 2. Yes, really, it is. This is the correct chart that you should have used. Read and learn (or don't and remain ignorant): Any idiot...

I'm sorry but you are mistaken. USB 3.2 Gen 2 (formerly known as USB 3.1) is supported through the USB-C ports. It's the USB-A ports that are limited to USB 3.2 Gen 1 (was USB 3.0). Apple has support docs on this and it's easily verified by doing a data dump using a USB 3.2 Gen 2 cable that does...

By buying the 8TB Aura Pro SSD on sale and the empty Express housing from OWC, I saved over $100. While putting it together, I saw no extra room inside. I was in the middle of its first full TM backup when I posted about the Express being barely warm to the touch. It had already been run about...

One thing I forgot to mention is that, if using a SATA III SSD on a Mac and it's internal (pre-2017) or external over eSATA or Thunderbolt or USB 4, you must open Terminal and run the following command: sudo trimforce enable followed by the Enter or Return key. Type your Admin password when...

OWC recently replaced the battery in my 2012 MacBook Pro under warranty when it failed after less than a year. The batteries one buys at Amazon have 30 day warranties if you're lucky. SanDisk and Western Digital (same company) have had problems with certain external m2 housings with plastic...

I bought the the 8TB OWC Envoy Express. It's a 2-Lane TB3 drive using a single blade meaning it's limited to 1533 theoretical max speed. The only thing faster is a single blade 4-Lane enclosure (2800 MB/s) like the Samsung X5 but I cannot find one rated to handle an 8TB blade. The issue is...

Support did extend all my sounds downloads to what they should have been when I purchased—good. I now see that the time limit is gone with Project Manager v.1.0.10—even better. That did solve most of my installation problems but not all. Some of the Syntronic and Syntronic 2 libraries do not...

I’ve not forgotten about this but since I posted, I’ve done some testing and I’ve replaced my iMac Pro with a Mac Studio. My Support Ticket Opened [#8951468]. The correct response all along should have been for me to delete everything and reinstall Total Studio Max 4 from scratch. It solved the...

That’s funny. The reason I don’t care where you got that is because you are incorrect. Have you done an actual, real world timed test of your own? Easy to do if you have spare drives doing nothing. Just for kicks, I cracked open a brand new 500GB MX500 and ran a series of write tests using a...

Again, I don’t know where you got that nonsense from nor do I care. It’s not true.

None. The TB3 pipe is four Lanes. Don’t know where that 25% nonsense comes from nor do I care. That said, 25% free space is not a bad idea but it’s not at all necessary. When data is erased, Garbage Collection (drive’s firmware) and T.R.I.M (Mac/Win/UNIX OS) must prepare the cells to accept...

Sequential R/W does not apply to SSDs — ever — that’s not how they work. Since it appears that you don’t know if your enclosure is really TB3, that may be your bottleneck. In addition, there are 2 Lane and 4 Lane TB3 enclosures. It can also be the cable. USB-C is a port not a protocol. Always...

That changes nothing I wrote. I was specifically referring to claimed speeds that are not possible if four m.2 blades are set up JBOD over TB3/4 in a single enclosure. You want those speeds? Each must be in its own TB3 enclosure connected via a TB4 hub to a TB4 port (unless one really wants to...

No way that you are seeing those speeds if, as you claim, the four blades show up as individual drives (JBOD). When configured that way, each drive uses only one Lane of the enclosure. The theoretical max speed is 937MB/s with real world speeds a bit slower due to overhead. The claimed "transfer...

Good for you, I guess. MuseScore 4 looks a lot nicer but it still has a workflow that I don't like at all. The only time I use it is after having downloaded scores I decide they look ok enough to print but that's quite rare. Otherwise, I'll import into Finale 27 or Dorico 5 unless I'm interested...

The only “pure notation” app I know is pen (pencil if making dittos), ink and paper. I was using that for 21 years before DMCS, my first notation app and it worked fine. That said… The perfect meld of notation and DAW does not exist though marketing departments would have you believe otherwise...

Dorico cannot do everything that Finale can. Daniel is the first to admit this.

That’s just silly. First off, SCORE is deader than Encore and has been for a long time. Many pros use and swear by LilyPond — and if 19th C engraving is your preference, well there it is (can’t stand it myself). Back OT: MuseScore is getting better but still isn’t ready for prime time, IMO...

It's available now. Downloaded 9.5 and installed this morning. So far, so good.

Unused auxes contributing to CPU spikes is a known issue. Will 9.5 be an improvement? We'll know soon, I hope.

No. It shipped June, 2015 making it a little over 2 years old.
