Testers needed!

[Protools5LEGuy]

As we are adding some security to our downloads, we thought it could be interesting to certify them as valid/working.

We need VST, RTAS, TDM and the digital performer one testers.

If you are interested just PM me or DieHard.

We need to know...

1) If there are un-needed extra files in the download folder,
2) missing files,
3) extra instructions to clarify,
4) whether it works

So we don't have more than 1 person testing the same thing, please PM Diehard or ProTools5LEguy with blocks of 5 at a time that you will test... then report results... thanks

Then it becomes a "certified" download. And all "testers" will upgrade its status on the membership.

We really need to organize and move forward in 2016!

We hope some "testers" will step up to the plate.

Happy to help out where I can!

[Protools5LEGuy]

Can you test VST, RTAS and TDM?

[Protools5LEGuy]

Please, start with a "clean" VST/Plugin folder.

If you have TDM rig just check all new posts in http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?board=104.0

[Philgood]

Sure, count me in. Will download as much as i can and tomorrow i can test them.Will let you know which ones...

Waiting on a digi cord for my 1622. Should be coming in the mail soon. Soon as it does I will gladly start testing things out for you guys. I cant use xlr with my studio monitors otherwise I would use my 888

Hi Protoolsguy,

Took the last few days or so to get some testing done. Downloaded the software,
whatever I could get, and wrote the appropriate Cd's etc or installed as set out
by instructions and I have attached a sheet to inform you of the ones that are working.
By the way only tested VST - not rtas or tdm.

Column headers mean INS-download and install and OK-Running okay or not?

Had enough testing for years now! 

[Protools5LEGuy]

THANKS!!!!

That PDF gives us the State of our downloads.

To Philgood & Jakl,

Many users will benefit from your long hours of Testing. This gives us a clear baseline of what needs to be fixed.  I will be "certifying" each download post to reflect what has been tested and working 100%

[Philgood]

Sure. Do you want that I post my results here ? (I tested all the protools plugs from the download section)

[DieHard]

All the results are being posted to that actual download board/item and Credited to each tester, so you do NOT need to post the results in the thread, unless you want to

Passed Items are marked certified...

This Download has been TESTED & CERTIFIED BY Member Jakl

Testing Note: Works, but no No Presets...

[Philgood]

Awesome. Let's get to work!

[Jakl]

Maybe I should add;

The Testing that I have done was from a clean install of the General Macos9 Install which has the Macos9 ROM 10.2.1 - onto a clean partitioned 500Gb SATA HD using a 110Gb partition running off a Seritek SATA card.

Just a few words about the NI Kontakt 1.5 download; if installed using the keygen.exe everything works as it should. If you just install from the 1.5.3 installer and use the Kontakt Liberated file - only standalone will work. Kontakt VST will still need to be authorized. So the safe bet would be to install using the Keygen.exe file(using a win computer or Virtual PC) and both standalone and VSTi mode both work well.

Kompakt installer does work well when using the keygen. Everything works as it should. Remember burn the Kompakt CD's because it will ask you to authorize them as well. Once the CD's are authorized Kontakt can recognize and use them.

The user who gave us the "liberated" version has lost the VST "liberated" version. This "liberated" version have some *very important* features besides that don't need authorization of any kind:
- Can use virtually any Kontakt library without the need of be authorized!
- Can extract any instrument file alongside it's samples files, even though they can resides into a monolithic file!

[Jakl]

Thanks Mactron for clarifying that - I was just doing all of this through trial and error - thank you letting us know.

[DieHard]

I will Be Bumping this topic at least once a month until all downloads get "Certified"

If you have any time to provide feedback about a download (DAW Host, DAW Plugin, DAW add-on, hardware driver, etc.) please let us know what worked and I will certify that download as a credit to you... Mactron,PT, and I will be adding more content in 2016, but we want to fix what is already up first

Thanks

there should be no neccessity to test applications or VST/RTAS plug-ins (any further).

but when it comes to TDM it would be nice to categorize/versionize stuff in case some of them will not work with any of the possible hardware configurations.

what would be nice is that new contributions are checked already by the uploader (if possible)

I would greatly appreciate feedback on ANY download VST or otherwise (that does not already say "certified") since many items had to be restored last month and all downloads were re-organized into separate folders which left a higher chance for error (since some installs had multiple versions and I could not tell which files the links pointed to after they were lost).  I think it is not much to ask for user feedback, so that we can be fix items for the next guy if something does not install or has poor instructions

Yes, I would greatly appreciate that level of detail, and I would post the results, that would benefit all PT users

what would be nice is that new contributions are checked already by the uploader (if possible)

Most of the items from Mactron and myself were tested BEFORE uploading, but I do not have the time to re-download, make sure things extract correctly, and re-install and test.  Also, the "up-loader" may make certain install assumptions that may not be clear to others, that is why I want to know all feedback so that we can fix archives and make easy instructions.

Sorry to differ with your opinion on this IIO, but this is a top priority for me since any downloads that do not work are useless to new members and should be removed or fixed.

The pack I sent you DH has been tested tons of times. Every one in there is 100%.
