For anyone thinking about purchasing I suggest reading their Privacy Policy first. Even if you do buy through Plugin Boutique you're still forced to make separate account through Scalermusic and they 100% collet as much info on you as they can in order to sell it. Very shady company, I would advise to stay away and not give them any money.

Why it wants to scan my vst folders? does it have to do with what you said?

You can open up your vst plugins through Scaler 3 instead of the sounds that come with it. One main instrument and 3 FX plugins can be loaded at a time.

I am guessing that the location of the license file in the ROOT of Appdata\Roaming is a mistake by the vendor?

Of course those things are normally placed in the vendor's own folder.

I've tried putting the license in the Scaler Music folders and no change. works if you open the DAW as administrator on Win 11

I don't know about the problems other have with this release but on my side I have absolutely no problems running Scaler VST3 and everything is working as it should

Win 10 / Ableton 12.1

For me it works as it should as well, both standalone and vst3, however after a while freezes randomly when tweaking a knob or a parameter.

Always crashing on W10 - Studio One 6.6.0
  Member 27.07.2024 73

this is the first release from R2R and Bubbix I"ve ever had a problem with. I don't know what is causing it to crash, but it has something to do with permissions. Run your daw as administrator and it will work. Waiting for an update.

Scaler 3 VST works fine on my side (Win10 22H2, Cubase 14, AMD Ryzen). Start Cubase "as administrator" and license file in ..../AppData/Roaming. (R2R and BUBBIX are the same release, same license file). It seems that Scaler is becoming a DAW (multitrack arranger, VST support, mixer, effects.....) and this disappointed me a lot, I don't see real improvements in its core functions. I already have my DAW, no need to load another as VST. I'll consider to reinstall Scaler 2.7.

SOLVED?

For those who have the problem of DAW crashing or plugin not loading, who also found that the plugin would work if you run the DAW as ADMIN...I believe we found the solution.

Turn your PC off and back on. This worked for me and others, now it's loading perfectly without running as admin.

Hope this helps.

Goodness, all those posts and it was just a restart that was needed?

Don't act like a child. I've been doing this since 2001 before there was an R2R. The days of PAT, not even half of you know what PAT is. The point is, out of all the R2R releases I've seen over the past 2 decades, this is one of the only ones i can recall gave this type of problem. And I'm also not the only one in here, this is not a perfect release. For the rest of you saying "works for me" , good for you, doesn't make what I say untrue.

you obviously never used R2R's Kontakt efforts in the past.. shudders..
  Member 27.07.2024 73

lol, well i've owned legit Komplete for about 15 years and own the K15 Collector's Ed and yet...I still use Kontakt Portable, and Bob Dule's Komplete Kontrol and his Maschine release (for obvious reasons). So I've never had a reason for the R2R release, but that's funny!

Working as expected; FL Studio 24.2.2 on Win11 24H2

Once S3 now supports VSTs, you can safely delete the whole "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Scaler Music\Scaler 3\Sounds" folder or specific subfolders if you don't want all or some of the 893MB of sounds that come with it...
There is no knowledge that is not power.

Appreciate the upload but rapid and kat links suck. Much prefer Mega links.

Those who do, decide...


And anyway, RG links work perfectly for me, seemingly last decades and couldn't be any faster downloads. This particular release takes mere seconds to complete... so either get a premium solution or figure out alt ways of downloading larger multi-part files without wait times ;)

@epbort I completely agree with you that Scaler 3 has become so bloated, it does not need artist presets/sounds, effects and all other junk which you mentioned. It should only be a tool for writing in key and helping with advanced chord progressions.
  Member 13.08.2018 4 92
+155
Yes it should. I've just now discovered that there is no more real time detection of the chords you play on the keyboard or routed from another midi track. Scaler 2 did this.
