No I know they’re not related. Both separate issues.
The computer is fine - that’s just going to be a future security issue.
The bfd issue and the wooden snares is only since the updated version of bfd3 and the migration.
Plugin boutique should have been and probably was aware of the situation with fxpansion and bfd3. They have still not got back to me. They’ll get another email today. I think they may have tried to make money out of a bad situation. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m guessing not.
I’ve also discovered that I can no longer run bfd3 in Cubase (latest version) unless connected to the internet. That’s not good or - I’m quite sure not ethical.
Murt why don’t you just go back to 3.3 and wait this out? This is exactly what I am doing. If 3.4.2 works as the Beta testers seem to think it does, wait a week or so before going back to 3.4. There is no real difference between .3 and .4 in my mind. The Air efx are not worth the hassle using 3.4, especially as I mix BFD3 in Cubase using 3rd party efx.
The word is with 3.4.2 we will be able to work offline. I certainly hope so as I actually have most of the BFD expansions including all the Chocolate Audio and some of the Platinum Samples,
