I just wiped out my C: drive, installed Windows 8.1, and started re-installing a bunch of plugins.
Are there certain plugins you think of installing over others?
Here are the plugins I installed in the last 24 hours (not in any order):
ACE
Sylenth1
Diva
ANA 2
Go2
XILS 4
VPS Avenger
Sampletank 3
Zebra
impOSCar 2
Synthmaster
Addictive Drums
Battery 3
Of course, I will install more soon.

I leave installing Z3ta until last, simply because the installer overwrites the (Windows) registry key that points to the default vst folder and makes it point to a Cakewalk folder instead. .

I'd install Windows 10 before doing anything else.
No, really, did you know that you can activate Windows 10 with your Windows 8 key? Just need to do a fresh install of Windows 10, and use your Windows 8 key for activation.

I knew they offered it for free for a while at first, but I had no idea that was possible.

Actually, officially, it isn't possible anymore. But, it works. It just won't work to upgrade Windows 7 or 8 anymore, but, you can newly install Windows 10 with a Windows 7 or 8 key.Examigan wrote:Actually I didn’t know that, so thanks for the tip.chk071 wrote:I'd install Windows 10 before doing anything else.

If i had to do a reinstall and would think about what i could wipe out etc.
I just would install Logic and P900.
Then only Kontakt instruments....that´s it. I could wipe out all the rest

I think I would reinstall only those instruments that I miss when turning on the DAW.
And what about your existing projects? You will get error messages from your DAW if plugins are missing...

Actually I wasn't working on any songs at the moment anyway. I just thought of the plugins that I really wanted back on the PC again.fluffy_little_something wrote:I think I would reinstall only those instruments that I miss when turning on the DAW.

Hey I just remembered another one: Spire is next on my list.
