it's a bit of a strange situation - the system has owners which are up to the money but are not up to doing any money-worth work on the system.

fix soundcard source / destination modules - have been stuttering and passing garbage
fix samplerates - no 88K selection
fix WDM drivers - inputs and outputs
fix blue screens - Vdat and other occurences
re-enable XTC as in v5 and earlier (i won't buy the bullshit it's not needed as it's the main selling point of UAD, has been of TC electronic Powercore - it IS proven needed).
make XTC VST3 x64 compatible - that's for dessert

i would pay like €500 for this. but not for some re-dressed in different colour GUIs and old bugs with new version number stuck on :)

Not doing any money-worth work? Aside from 2 short stints while I had each child, I've used my home work environment to support my family since...2003?

Now,- what´s your money worth work w/ "the system"?
You post so much of irrelevant BS here, I get the impression you´d die of boredom soon when you don´t.

soundcard source destination is emulating a Soundblaster device... couldn‘t care less
never needed 88k samplerate, WDM drivers, XTC, my Powercore is on hiatus in a box (I have all it‘s plugins in Pro Tools)
no bluescreens with VDAT here...

To each his (or her) own, but as far as I‘m concerned:
my only regret is the amount of time I wasted with VST and even some IOS stuff, when everything I needed in sound was already present in Scope.
Ok, I have a couple of VSTs by Valhalla, Zynaptiq and Polyverse. But considering the amount of IOS crap that I piled up, only a small fraction gets regular use. :-?
(there ARE some true gems in this system, though)

cheers, Tom - no offense intended :)

I guess every scoper also owns some DAWs and VSTs. In theory, I could replace my scope gear by Samplitude, Ableton live, Bitwig or former cubase. I never reached the flow, quality and reuseability scope provides by using VSTs.
Although a pure software solution seems attractive on first glance, my experience is different.
VSTs which worked well on WinXp started to suck on Vista, many VSTs with 32bit now suck on 64bit, some VSTs require online licence checks.

Yes, there is room for improvement in scope, but it's still a competitive system to use.
The 64bit issues of STS or VDat seem to be "just plain bugs", as I once managed to get STS working on a clean W10 system with W10privacy and all mainboard soundcards "disabled".

hey!
i meant the s|c company has owners who are changing version numbers and ask for money but the unifxed stuff stays unfixed, not about S|C users making money.

"as I once managed to get STS working on a clean W10 system with W10privacy and all mainboard soundcards "disabled"" -- exactly! that's the proof STS, Vdat, and XTC stuff can work
in my experience there is no need to disable any hw devices or other soundcards BUT requires tinkering with windows ""security"" features"

STS, VDAT maybe. XTC on 64 bit O/S and working as VST3 less likely.

xtc works here on win11 after some tricks but it really takes effort - it doesn't endure reboots but for that session it's stable.

vst3 and x64 vst - unless someone is willing to write the interface dlls i guess.
there are existing scope vst2 32bit dlls which might be disassembled and looked into how it's all put together but i don't want to speculate any further..:)

Any chance of a step by step instruction on how to do this ? I'd really like to try it out.
