I’ve been working on a piece of music for days. Today, all of a sudden, I heard a periodic hissing sound. It took me nearly 2 hours to track it down, and it turned out to be the sound that ScalerEQ makes when its license isn’t connected. I connected it, and the sound disappeared.
I understand the need for licensing. But if all you’re going to do when the license isn’t connected is make a fuzzy sound in the middle of a project … that’s really annoying. Please rewrite your error routine to do something that indicates where the problem is. (It could, for example, just speak "scaler EQ ".) Or display a message, or something.
