Hi Guys. New here and my first experience using Scaler3. My DAW I’m using it with is Mixcraft 10.6 on a Windows 11 machine. I’m very happy with the program after using it for two days now. Installation and activation went perfectly with no issues.

I did see that the program did not find all my plug-ins. But all I did was run a “search” and the program located the VST I was looking for and it ran perfectly. Not sure why it didn’t find it on the scan but again it found it using the “search” function.

Seeing I never used Scaler2, I have none of the complaints/observations of those that loved that version of the program. But again very pleased with my initial use of Scaler3. Two days and two nice compositions … can’t complain about that! 😃
