Hi @ApexAlex95

Have you tried reinstalling the latest version? Sound files are copied in place by the installer, they might have been moved.

Reinstalling should fix it.

Welcome Alex As Ed said, definitely get the latest version from your Plugin Boutique account Scaler 2 version 2.3.1. …it rocks.

If a reinstall/update does not work, give us a little more information on your setup. Scaler is not particularly finicky so getting things sorted should be a snap.

You can post a screen capture of your DAW setup directly into the thread (no special image importing/linking required) and someone might notice something with your routing/arming.

1st question…are you trying to use native Scaler sounds or are you driving a VST?

Keep us posted.
