Thermalic Report post Posted March 7, 2014 Hey,I've got the trial version of Vandal, and it doesn't affect the sound in any way. Tried all the effets and presets and it didn't process the sound (DI guitar track). Only knob that works is the ''in'' volume, weidly enough even the ''out'' does nothing. Also tried setting another vst distortion in front of it without cab simulation to hear if there was any coming from Vandal and there wasn't. I'm using it in reaper ,checked that it was 100% wet and all the other effects on the track work. Also tried it on my old studio pc and it didn't work there either. So I assume that I am doing something wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sascha Report post Posted March 7, 2014 Are you sure your trial hasn't expired? What does the startup dialog say? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thermalic Report post Posted March 7, 2014 There's no start up dialog. The trial version I downloaded has been in my pc for months so I guess it's expired. Also I haven't seen any mention of timed trial so I tought it was just lacking some features. When I tried it first time, right after downloading the trial it didn't work either (exactly the same daw and set up). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sascha Report post Posted March 10, 2014 Running more or less in bypass mode is the intended behaviour of the expired trial. To me it sounds like you have a very early version of the plugin (pre-2012). In my memory, the first version didn't have a timeout notification. If you click on the wrench icon next to the top LCD and hit 'about', which version & date is shown? The problem remains that you can't renew the trial (unless you re-install your OS), so overwriting it with a new version won't work. Current installers give you up to 30days trial period (if I remember correctly), but you still have to check things within that timeframe (or buy a serial).
