Scaler 3 - File Size

Hi,

I know this topic has been raised before, but are there any plans to separate the extra sounds into their own installer from the Scaler 3 installer.

If I download the sounds once, i could save it’s installer in an external drive or in a partition.

Downloading a nearly 1gig file each time is slow, plus the Scaler servers would benefit from not having so many user downloading a heavy file every time there is an update.

Please consider this request

Ooh now you are selling it! Save us money I like it. I guess the Q is the valuable time taken up from our devs vs the expectation that a 1GB installer file is reasonable.

I’ll discuss with the team.

I would like to second this again especially as we can now use our own virtual intruments.

Also, I am not a software engineer but I would imagine including nearly 900mb of sounds in every update would increase the build time as well?

Hoping for seperate download of program and sounds.

Thanks.

Maybe like ReasonStudio: First time a complete installation including sound banks. Update only program.
Same with a lot of other DAW. The sounds are loaded on demand from an installer inside scaler.

By the way 1 gb is nowadays not so much.
