How in the world do I install this!

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

OK, I got Ravencroft 275 piano downloaded, and I see the presets in the Dropbox folder. Once I downloaded what I needed, I got the workstation installed. That worked perfectly.

 

Now I'm trying to get the libraries so I can make sure the workstation is loading them. Question though is, how do I manually install these things.

 

When I run the Ravencroft installer, it comes up with the license agreement according to what Apple Accessibility tells me when they remoted in, but with them verbally guiding me with the mouse, when we clicked accept to accept the license, it then pops up with the little VILabsAudio installer logo, but then just sits there, or so it seems.

 

After you accept the terms, is that when the libraries in the background are downloaded?

 

Where can I go to get to the library files? I tried going to the Ravenscroft installer.app file, VO+shift+spacing on it, then going to view package content, but even digging into the .app file, I can't find where the actual libraries themselves are.

 

Am I gonna need sighted help to do this? I was udner the impression that though the installer wasn't really accessible, I manually could copy the files in the Finder over and do it that way.

 

Did I misunderstand?

Chris,

Decompress the RAR file using something like The Unarchiver then take the resulting .ufs file and put it in the following directory:

User Library/Application Support/UVISoundBanks

Slau,

 

That worked perfectly. Thank you for your help.

 

What is this real cowbells download that would be in my downloads area of their website? I didn't buy anything of the sort, or does that also come with the 275? Do you know if these to default, and close presets would work with the Real Cowbells? My guess is no, but I figured I'd ask.

Chris,

The cowbell package is just a free little library for those who wish to try out the UVI Workstation as a host for plug-ins. It's just included by default in all user accounts.

Aa. That's kind a what I figured. Are they any good though? I have a few songs which do have a cowbell sound needed within the purcussion drums portion of the song, or, if it was you, would you honestly say I'd be better just using one of the drum kits with Xpand2.

[Slau Halatyn]

More cowbell!

SNL)?

 

Huh?

 

Sorry, I dono if your message got somehow cut off or what, but this doesn't make a lot of sense.

[Chris Smart]

It wasn't cut off at all. SNL stands for Saturday Night Live, and
More Cowbell is a phrase from a popular SNL sketch.

Damn! Am I really that sheltered that I didn't know about this? LOL! Guess so. Oh well, I digress...

Found this in the PT Access Dropbox.

 

This is what VI Labs said about manually installing the Ravenscroft 275 piano:

 

There are two possibilities for the location of the extracted ufs file, you can either set it wherever you want and locate it when you launch UVI Workstation (you can also add the folder containing the UFS to the UVI Workstation preferences so the UFS gets loaded automatically at each load) or you can use the default folder which should be (on mac) user/youruser/Library/Application Support/UVISoundbanks/

It’s a free file that comes with Ravenscroft.  Not given those cowbells a listen ;-)
