help me!!!!

Post by petertohen »

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I bought Omnisphere 2, I'm now installing it but my installationprogram on my mac is already processing it for 6 hours while the program says it can take up to 5 hours, I'm starting to worry a little bit because this is the second time it took so long.
Anybody got experience with it?

Thanks in advance!

yes, it can take up to 4 or 6 or more hours in total for it to install it all.

I remember from doing my install of Omni 2 when it got just released.

don't panic and simply wait...

when you mention it's the 2nd time,
what happened the 1st time ?
did you abort the process thinking it got stuck ?
if so, that might be the reason it could get stuck now.
(but don't panic just yet)

you have to remember that, if like me, you bought it in HW format (=the box with the DVD's and not just the huge download), it's gotta install this whole massive sample library of 64Gb,
and it makes the whole library sealed.
You literally can't access a single sample from your pc/mac browser menu, it's one giant database.

I installed Omni 2 twice, because I did a clean install when I got my latest MBP,
and both times, it took ages for the whole thing to install.

it's totally worth it though.
If you get it working, let me know,
I'll gladly send you some of my own Omni patches.
I use Omni on pretty much every track I make.
I fucking love it. :)
