  • Recent library updates

    I'm curious. There were a number of updates to the library data files in December. What is changed under these updates? Thanks!

  •  Where did you see library updates in December?  As I certainly cannot see any updates for the libraries - have I missed something?


  • Hi everybody, 

    We have re-packaged the Library Updates recently, no changes in the fixes from the files that were available before...

    But you can always run the Library Updates, they will do no harm. 

    Steve, I´m missing the Vienna Imperial in your signature ;-)

    Best,

  • Thank you for bringing this egregious omission to my attention. What was I thinking. The imperial rocks! I can't get any other work done because all I want to do is play it.  And I have a Steinway C sitting nearby. Can't wait to see what you guys do next.

  • Hi Paul,

    For the Orchestral Strings I&II, it's a huge update, more than 45 gig ! xxxOrchestraxx.dat becomes Orchestra-xxx_xx.dat .

    Can I delete the old .dat files as they appear to have been replaced..?

    Best,

    Hello Edmond,

    This is the full sample content you are talking about.

    We´re referring to the small LIBRARY Updates.

    All Library Updates for registered DVD Collections can be found here.

    All Library Updates for your registered DOWNLOAD Collections are available here.

    Please follow the instructions on top of the pages!

    Best,

  • Hello Paul,

    It's amazing, you're replying to my question so quickly, and it's Saturday evening... [:$]

    So thank you very much for your steady help !  Anyway I took the full sample content for an update... [8-)]

    I think it's because I didn't look at anything but the date of the download file, not seeing it was for downloading the entire library!

    Sorry for taking your time.

    Best,

    Edmond


  • OK, I'm confused. When I first posted on this, I was asking about the full sample content, I think. I periodically browse my User Area to see if there are new files. I did this recently, and I saw that there were several library updates dated December XX, 2012. So I downloaded them and installed them, which took the better part of a day, and then I wondered, "it would be interesting to know what is different after having downloaded all these files."

    Maybe I should first ask, am I doing this right?

  •  Well I'm confused now,  I don't see any Library updates at all. But the download libraries seem to have a December 2012 date on them.

    Is there just confusion here over a library "update" and a library "download",  is it just that the downloads have been repackaged without actually changing anything?


  • Hi, 

    Sorry for the confusion. 

    The LIBRARY UPDATES will always get your VSL products up to date, no matter which sample content you have installed (be it from the DVD or the downloaded sample content). 

    The Sample Content Download was re-packaged a few times lately, as we have improved the download process. In this process (and for everybody who purchases a new product to download) we have also incorporated the fixes that were made in the last few years in the DVD Library Updates. 

    Hope that helps. 

    Best, 

    Paul

  • Got it - makes sense now. Thanks Paul!
