Hi
The MediaBay issues are still ongoing. You need to get a clean install of the MediaBay without having duplicate installations from application packages. A few weeks ago 80 percent of my MediaBay inventory way unplayable in Preview or instrument. So I tried this which worked.
Uninstall APPLICATIONS - (Cubase-whatever version, All versions of Halion (Halion 7 , Sonic etc) only remove the application components. Uninstall MediaBay through windows if still showing.
Restart Computer.
Re install in this order -
Cubase Application
Halion 7
Halion Sonic 7
When you say uninstall applications only, do you mean that the Cubase and Halion CONTENT does not need to be uninstalled? I have older versions of both Cubase and Halion sonic installed, so I guess it works better if everything is uninstalled then? And about the content, I dont really understand how it works. The installation instruction for HalSonic7 says if the content of HalSonic3 is alredy installed, then installation of HalSonic7 content is not necessary. I then asume these two content packages are the same. However, in my Steinberg Download Assistant (SDA) it looks like I have the content of both HalSonic 3 and HalSonic 7 installed. I dont know if it so or if it just looks that way. But maybe it messing things up.
And finally, you are using the SDA for the reinstallations, right? When opening the SDA the latest version of the MediaBay automatically gets installed , as I understand it. So the reinstallation of MediaBay occur before the reinstallations of Cubase and Halion?
This gives you a copy of the download to run locally without having to download the files again.
Running the file will give you options to Reinstall, Uninstall. etc.
The instrument/soundfiles open with the application - Steinberg Library Manager. Use OPEN WITH in file type .
After that I did a second try. Uninstalled HS7 and Mediabay again. Also uninstalled Cubase this time. Then restarted the computer, reinstalled Mediabay, Cubase, HS7 and the HS7 content. Unfortunately this did not give any different result. The preview sound works with all HALion Sonic plugins, but still not with the two big ones, HS Library and HS Collection.
Didnt understand how to use your tip. To uninstall the MediaBay the Download Assistant need to be off, otherwise it will automatically install the MediaBay again. And to be able to reinstall the MediaBay first in line, the uninstall of apps and content needed to be done before that. And when the applications and content are uninstalled, the OPEN THE FOLDER option isnt valid. So sorry, I did not get that.
I found that the non working = HS Library and HS Collection - Only seem to be working with HALION SONIC 7.
Try installing this last and see if you can preview the HS Library and HS Collection.
Also check the LIBRARY MANAGER for any detected duplicates.
The folder options are only accessible in the Download Manager after a completed install.
Where it says INSTALL AGAIN click the down arrow, OPEN folder. This takes you to the download location of the Steinberg downloads for install. Some files delete themselves after install. From the open folder, copy the downloaded files and save in another location. You can then run these files with the full options.
