Folks, I'm an idiot! I figured it out. Turns out, the activation window
was up on the screen. I was under the impression that since it came with
ProTools, it was already activated, but I guess not. Apparently, from
what Aira told me, the activation window was covering the main interface
of the plugin, hince why the macros weren't seeing the transfer button.


So sorry about that!


Chris.

A good habit to get into in a largely inaccessible window like that, one that I try to abide by anyways is to always OCR the screen if somethings not working the way it should. That will either help find the source of the problem and if it doesn't, it eliminates one possible cause. Just my 2 cents. If you don't already have VOCR on your computer, go and get it. Its really a life saver.

Sometimes too just Doing VO F1 twice and seeing if there are other windows like system dialogs or alerts, or VO F2 twice to see if another window is open will often find the culprit.

The odd thing was, there wasn't another window. I think it was an
overlay inside the main plugin window.

I do have it. I tried that as well, but it didn't seem to render
anything about the activation. Pretty wicked bizarre, if you ask me.

Was your screen curtain off? Voiceover visuals as well? If screen curtains on it won't show anything. And voiceover visuals mess with the screen.

Oddly yes. Both were disabled. I never use screen curtain, and visuals
are one of the very first things I turn off as well, as they drive me crazy!

Interesting. It unfortunately doesn't work in all windows, perhaps this one is a case of those.
Anyone else have this happen?
