Many thanks, Will have a look at that link - Microsoft updated my 10 during the EW download. I stopped it, but the download hung - because of Microsoft? Anyway, there was nothing else to do but restart. That got the download going again, but now the red x's started to appear - Microsoft was duplicat...

You should definitely try loading from your boot drive, running software from other drives can be an issue.

Very much doubt I will put East-West on the boot drive after my experience with Microsoft Cloud, thanks.

I'm not a computer expert but if you did a straight copy of files from the C drive to your E drive, won't that create some registry issues? Your programs may be pointing to files that aren't there? I could be mistaken? Have you also checked your iLok account? I had emails from EastWest and iLok thi...

Did get a support email from EW but it was impossible to follow because they used quite a lot of tech-speak like 'root folders' & so forth. So I manually copied C-drive files to E drive backup. Deleted C-drive files Red x's started to disappear - the C-drive files were 'online files' - duplicated to...

Ok. It's all very strange? I've got the full ComposerCloud Gold package which is insane and a bit OTT but have never had that issue. All my EastWest libraries are installed on a separate SSD which is a good job cause my laptop died last month. :x Did you install Play 6 and install the Choirs librar...

Have you purchased Choirs as a standalone or as part of the ComposerCloud/X? THanks, wasn't given that option - but Thomann, who I purchased it from, says "Stand Alone: Yes" and "Can be synchronised to a DAW", they say nothing whatsoever about Microsoft Cloud. https://www.thomann.de/gb/eastwest_hol...

Agree.

So why should I have to put up with a red warning sign against a software - Mixcraft - which does not require Microsoft Cloud please?

Currently I have 3.37 TB SSD free space on my pc - why do I need more space from Microsoft Cloud please?

There is now a permanent red x against Mixcraft8 since I downloaded EW Hollywood Choirs - not very happy about this.

Hi, Downloaded this software for backing vocals. It plays as a Midi keyboard VST in Mixcraft 8, but MC8 will not allow me to record any midi with it, when you stop the recording, the red recording line in MC simply vanishes, you are left with an empty virtual track. The vst window for EW will not fu...

Whole world of difference - thanks!

Have now installed Scarlett 2i2 Third Generation 2-in, 2-out.

Am a bit worried about the latency.

Please advise - thanks

Thanks Guys,

Seen that it says "Focusrite USB ASIO [will be] the driver on your DAW’s Audio Setup", so I'll guess I'll go for that

Thanks,

It looks like a neat piece of hardware

But it's probably OTT for what I need at the moment: I'm trialling a new software, so i just need a basic music usb soundcard/interface for a Windows pc which hasn't been used for music production until now.

Thanks,

For now I just want it for backing vocals, but there are MIDI possibilities there as well.

Thanks - will update
