Default Blast from Past w/ Migrating Plugin question



"Barry B" wrote in message
...

Hi, all... Scott, Les, and Peter I recognize from well over 20 years ago
when I used to frequent this on usenet... back when did CD compilations,
Hank Aldrich, Lyle Caldwell... great days, and I learned a lot from all of
you. Much appreciated.

I've been a constant musician, but have left and returned to the
behind-the-mic scene a few times over the decades. I have a small session
coming up on Monday. The following isn't a make-or-break by ANY means... but
it's frustrating me and I'm hoping some w/ more computer expertise than I
can help me.

Situation - on my first DAW, based on an ancient pentium machine running XP
and Sek'd Samplitude 4.5, I had purchased a reverb plugin that I really
liked, and was kind of respected back then in the serious amateur market,
anyway.... Sonic Timeworks 4080L . That machine still works, but I'm using a
much better machine and interface now, based on Win 7 and Samp 11.5 and I'd
like to migrate that plugin from the old machine to the new one, but can't
figure out how. Sonic Timeworks is gone. I have my registration # written
down, but can't find any saved installation file, nor do the readme files I
have give any information about installation or re-installation.

The files I have for the plugin in are in a directory labeled "Reverb
4080L", containing three text files (README, LICENSE, and INSTALL), an
uninst.isu file, and a bin subfolder. The bin folder contains trvb.ax and
trvb.hlp, and another subfolder containing a bunch of presets I had created
years ago. That's all I can find. I believe the .ax file is the plugin
itself.

I've tried moving that entire file structure to the new machine and pointing
Samplitude to that folder... nope. Tried moving the .ax file to the windows
system32 directory and using "regsvr32 trvb.ax" to register it, but that
didn't work either... returns a "couldn't find the file" type of message.

Searched the worldwideinterwebs for an installation file, but no reputable
sources and I don't do irreputable sources.

Does anyone know if there's a way to move this plugin? Would be very
grateful for any help or suggestions.

Thanks, and glad to see some familiar names. Best to all!


If I'm not mistaken the Timeworks reverb (which I had, loved, used for many
years) will not work if your machine is 64 bit.
I've had to ditch quite a few favorites over the years. There are some 32
bit plugins that will bridge in my system, but Timeworks verb/ EQ are ones
that will not.

I think I might have the installation file for this plugin laying around
somewhere if you're interested.
