Guiding a Client Through the Spectrasonics Update Procedure

Hi Paul. I need your assistance with my Pro Tools setup. I can see my Spectrasonics plug-ins (Omnisphere, Trillion etc) are out-of-date. I have looked online and the instructions for updating them are too complicated. Can you help me please? – PW

I received the above message from PW and we arranged a time to connect for a remote support session. At the start of our session, I called PW on the phone and talked him through how to run AnyDesk on his Mac. Once that was sorted and I had control of his Mac, I went through the Smart Update process as explained on Spectrasonic’s website.

Spectrasonics Smart Update

The process is not complicated, but is a bit fiddly. It didn’t take long and afterwards I checked all the Spectrasonics was working correctly in Pro Tools. We spent the rest of the hour that PW had paid for to check over the rest of his plug-ins for updates and tidy his Pro Tools session folders. I made sure PW’s OSX Time Machine backup software was running correctly.

PW is a professional composer who uses Pro Tools and audio plug-ins on a daily basis, but has no interest in managing software for himself. He regularly books my services to keep his Mac running smoothly and to resolve the occasional error message.

If you need help with any aspect of Pro Tools or audio plug-ins and would like to speak to a friendly professional, please get in touch.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul reinstalled all my lost sample libraries, streamlined the storage on my computer so it works faster and fixed my corrupted disk. it took us a couple of sessions and he was friendly and patient throughout. He never made me feel stupid and never over-explained stuff I already knew - in fact he boosted my confidence. Would highly recommend. I've put him on speed dial!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul was brilliant, listened to the issues I had on Cubase and my home studio, worked methodically through potential problems and  sorted everything. Amazing service, down to earth and explained everything so I
could understand. I am a very happy song writer once again thanks to Paul! Will be using Paul again in the future and highly recommend. Thanks Paul.

Honestly, if you're in any way stuck in a creative block because of the gear you have, you've more questions than answers about what the best setup should be for your flow, or even if you have very nuanced problems in your DAW/with your gear, the service Paul provides is second to none. Besides being an extremely nice guy, he knows his stuff and takes the time to understand what you want to get out of each session and makes sure all is good to go! Can't recommend him enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul provided as stellar service, worth every penny. I came to him with a genuine issue that was affecting my Logic Pro 11 album project regarding drums and midi maps and he solved my problem most efficiently.  He was patient, courteous, quick thinking and highly knowledgeable. I will certainly consider using the service again and thoroughly recommend Audio Support -
Thank you Paul - you are a star :)

Super knowledgeable, friendly, speaks in easy to understand terms.
Paul is helping us DAW newbies get in the game. Paul got my lost plugin files working again as well as showed me how to find missing wave files for projects that were loading incorrectly. Keep this man on speed dial.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul fixed in around half an hour some midi keyboard/controller problems I have been trying to solve but have had to live with for around two years! He is very knowledgeable and patient and the Any Desk link worked perfectly. I wish I had found his website sooner and wouldn't hesitate to call on his services again.
