The cost alone of upgrading to Dorico 4 is not just the upgrade price, but the investment of around £500 for a laptop that will run it. It’s doubtful that D4 will offer me anything I really need, though of course other users will be happy and keen to upgrade, and that’s fine. I’ve held off upgrading to D 3.5 Pro purely for budgetary reasons. I’m also trying to resist this constant upgrade / update hardware, for sustainability reasons, and because actually my hardware does everything I need it to. None of which I need to upgrade or update in the near future - I intend to keep this old MacBook with High Sierra on it for backwards compatibility - and because it works. I currently have a Steinberg dongle (I had to buy the newer, stubby version quite recently as there were issues getting the older one to to work with Dorico 3, lots of threads on here with that issue.) I have Cubase 8.5 Pro on it, legacy Cubase VST 5 & Nuendo 3, and Wavelab 10, OMF, Retrologue, and Vienna Instrument. I have downloaded and installed Dorico Pro 3.5 Sounds Installer - which is actually called HALion_Sonic_SE_and_Content_for_Dorico_Pro_3.4_Installer_mac, but I still get the above error message (and no sound) when I open Dorico Pro 3.5.ĭoes anyone know what I can do to fix this problem and get Dorico Pro 3.Just to be clear. This enabled Dorico 3.5 to open again, but I now get the above error message and …no sound. I was advised also, manually to delete HALion components from various Library folders, which I did. I had previously tried to update to Dorico Pro 4.0, but discovered only later that it is not compatible with the latest version of OS X which I can run on my Mac (OS X 10.12.6). Please run the Steinberg Download Assistant and install the package: Dorico Pro 3.5 Sounds Installer Every time I open Dorico Pro 3.5, it opens, but I get the following error message and cannot use Dorico Pro 3.5’s playback facilities:Īn essential component used by Dorico for playback has not been found.
