    For those wanting to autostart gigastudio from a boot, you can't just place it in the windows startup folder as it needs 15-30 seconds initialising drivers before launching (otherwise you get an error). Also the VSL performance tool currently has no "autoload" function (how about it Herb?)

    Here's the solution:-

    1. Make sure 'Hide Extensions for known file types is switched off

    (explorer->tools->folder options->view").

    2. Create a text file on your desktop called "gigastart.vbs" (answer yes to change file extension)

    3. copy and paste the following into this textfile (obviously changing the path if this isn't your default)


    Set x = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
    Wscript.Sleep 30000
    x.Run ("""C:\Program Files\NemeSys\GStudio\GStudio.exe""")
    x.Run ("""C:\Program Files\VSL Performance Tool\PerformanceTool.exe"" ""C:\Program Files\VSL Performance Tool\Tool Sets\blahblah.vlp""")

    obviously replacing path/filename blahblah.vlp with your own default toolset.

    4. Drag this script file into your startbar->startup folder (or alternatively copy it to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup)

    5. That's it! If you want to autoload your template from giga, just "save settings as default performance" after it's loaded it up the first time.

    isnt there a way to save the "default" performance tool with settings, by just "saving over" the default file. That would be auto load.


    or is that jsut settigns....? hmm Man, I'm just brain farting today.

    So that's it! The mystery is solved.

    Thanks so much! I can't imagine using Giga or the VSL without this kind of internet support.

    Ashif - yeah probably - but playing around with script files is so much more fun [;)]

    btw - the line "Wscript.Sleep 30000" waits for 30 secs - I got away with 15secs on one of my PCs but another one needed 25secs.

    definitely,

    scripts are one of my favorite "weapons" in my arsenal of sound design/editing. [:)]

    I luv em. They tend to be like "puzzles" for me to figure out.

    Just to add to this thread...I had to put in a few /'s in the third and fourth lines to get it to find the applications/files in the right places.
