I downloaded and installed PM version 3.0.3 and I am still having the same problem. Please help!

Are you able to open Pro Tools? The reason I ask is because I recently had an issue with the stupid iLok where I had to go out to the iLok site and reinstall the drivers. Without warning....Pro Tools MP9 just stopped working. Once I re-installed the iLok junk....everything was fine again.

Hi Peter
I have 3.0.2 Installed on my system and tried to install and update to 3.0.3
So I could use P&M with PT 10.3.5 and could not install the new version
I just got and error message that the Installer could not create the folder for the plug ins
This was the 3.0.3 AAX installer I did not try the VST installers till I know what the issues are
I have attached an image of the error message as it appeared on my computer
Let me know what is going on so I can install the new update also I have noticed that
all of the previous versions are still installed do I need to uninstall them first?
Also while sending this post I could not attach an image to the post
I am on a PC platform, Windows 7 Pro 64, ProTools 10.3.5, Lynx AES 16e, Lynx Aurora 16 I/O interface
I sure would like to get this up and running again since 3.0.2 plugins were not recognized with the new ProTools update
and I miss these plugins while I am Mixing
Thanks
Perry Lancaster

Well I have not received a replay about 3.0.3 AAX not installing at all, so I tried to install the VST versions both 32 and 64 bit and they install fine and the Host program Sequoia 12 see's both plugins fine 32 and 64 bit, but they just won't install at all for AAX and 3.0.2 is not recognized by PT 10.3.5 at all and the plugins are in the correct folder
Sure would like some feedback on this
Thanks

Hello Old School Audio Guy,

With ProTools 10.3.5 and ProTools 11 (which has not yet been released) there iare issues with the brand new PACE signatures that have to be written into the code for all the AAX plug-ins.

We are working on it with PACE and Avid to get a solution quickly so that people can work with the recent 10.3.5, the previous version 10.3.3 does not have this requirement.

It does block the installation process.

Best Regards

Nick

Thanks Nick
I figured it was something with Pace
it has been the issue with many developers of Plugins
I hope this gets resolved soon for all of us
and thanks for the quick reply
I look forward to this being resolved for everyone
Thanks again

Hello Perry,

As soon as we have everything ironed out with the PACE signature issue we will be posting on the news page on DontCrack and you should see a version 3.04 of P&M.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Hello,
problem with P&M Chorus Ensemble in Cubase 7.0.3 64 Bit (Win 7 64 Bit Ultimate)
If i insert the plug, after a while a single loud click on the right channel (stereo track) appears.
No matter, if the song is in playback mode or in stop mode.

The effect is really great, but this is a little bit weird
Am i alone?

I try it again.
Did someone from dontcrack read my post?
As i said, i'm not alone with this behaviour.
Please help...

Hello whitealbum,

We have seen your report and for the moment we don't know why this happening to you and the others.

We have passed on the info to the developers and testers to see what they can do about it.

We will keep you posted on what happens.

Best Regards,

Good to hear, thanks.

Some infos about that behaviour.
Sometimes users (incl. me) have to wait half an hour before the first click appears.
Yesterday it happended then, after a while, every 1-3 minutes a single click appears. So thats not a specific time (every 5 minutes or so) problem.
I noticed more clicks as well if you do something in parallel (internet surfing or something else).
Project CPU usage is about 30-40%.

Hope that helps to sort it out.

I own the VIP bundle LOVE it so far. But unfortunately it seems like all of the amp simulation plugins don't work correctly on my system. It pretty much sounds like I threw a bitcrusher and killed the track. All distorted, hardly any signal coming through. This problem happens with the American Tweed, British Tone, etc.

Further to this earlier post, I'm encountering the same problem in Presonus Studio One 2.5.1.I can record a guitar part using the P&M amp sims, but if I try to use them with existing, already recorded guitar parts I'm getting the same horrible 'bitcrusher' distortion, this is of course, with any other amp sim or distortion plugins disabled..I'm using the latest 3.03 version of the P&M bundle, and have tried reinstalling which made no difference, other plugins from the bundle working fine.

Any update on this issue?

Hello whitealbum,

Your line about doing something in parallel makes me think that there might be something active in the background that asking for CPU power while Cubase is running. any autosaves, file indexing etc?

Is there a way to increase the amount of CPU use allowed for Cubase?

Or a way of allocating more RAM to Cubase so that it can avoid perhaps being starved of CPU power, just an idea as it seems to be related to the processor's ability to handle the tasks it is presented.

Yes I am able to open Pro Tools.

Hello deadstarblues,

I would suggest "repairing permissions" we had some other people who had this and once they "repaired" everything went well. When the permissions aren't working correctly it prevent the software from installing to the right location and ProTools doesn't find the P&M in the right place.

Another thing that has got people up and running is to manually assigned the "music" user rights to write in the library folder containing P&Ms authorization program.

The Mac OS has been full of "tricks" as the modifications done by Apple lately have not been well documented.

Try this then re-install and it should work, some other people had this little problem.

Could you tell me what version of ProTools you are using? The new 10.3.5 is really different as it is preparing the way for compatibility with the upcoming ProTools 11 and there are "Pace Signatures" which ProTools has to see to be able to load the Plug-ins even when they are correctly installed. These "signatures" are real tricky to apply and are not working correctly for us and other software companies. If it is possible to go back to 10.3.3, it is advisable as this issue doesn't exist for that earlier version. We are working on it but I can't give you a green light on it yet.

If it doesn't solve the problem get back to me as soon as you can.

Best Regards,

Nick

Hello Nick,
about parallel actions:
It was only an example, if only Cubase is open, clicks appears as well.
Actually, i have nothing in the background (win indexer is closed) only Avast antivirus is in the back.
But i don't believe that there is a correlation, because in this project there are a lot of other plugins like Waves, Abbey Road Plugs, IKM Plugs, Fabfilter, cubase internal and Voxengo plugs.
No other plug makes a problem.
Amount of CPU is possible via priority in the task Manager. Cubase got the priority "high" which is fine.
avast and other stuff have got "normal" priority.
In this project RAM isn't a problem, i have 12 gb RAM, 5,57GB is used RAM, so there should be no problem.

I'm checking now deactivating avast anti-virus in the background.

bye

Further to my earlier, as yet unanswered post, about unwanted distortion using the P&M amp sims.I can report that this distortion can appear on tracks that aren't even using ANY P&M plugins when I try to record a new track using one of the P&M amp sims.This is further to the earlier problem, of being unable to use them on preexisting guitar tracks.

I really like the amp sims, especially for clean and crunchy sounds, but this bug is a serious stumbling block...

Any ideas?

Howie

Hello Howie,

A couple of questions for me to understand the problem more clearly.

1/ You are recording onto a track that has on of the amp sims as an insert in order to have the "sound" you desire as you monitor the recording, right?

2/ Other tracks in the session have distortion on them, although they don't have an amp sims or any plug-in whatsoever on them right? When you solo one of these tracks is the distortion still present?

Best Regards,

Nick
