Velvet 2 problem
 

I installed the Velvet 2 trial version and used it in a couple of sessions, realized I was doing just fine with Kontakt, and stopped using Velvet. In one session, I had inactivated Velvet as an insert. In another session, the Velvet insert track was still active when I closed the session.


So the trial period ran out. Now, when I try to open the session where the Velvet track was left active, I get the Velvet nag screen with 2 options, "Activate" or "Quit". I don't want to buy the license so I have to choose "Quit", which quits Pro Tools every time. Other sessions open fine.



I got a response from Avid support which advised uninstalling the License Manage, reinstalling and syncing my ilok. Problem persists and support seems to have gone dark.

Holding the shift key while opening the session deactivates all plugins. This should get you into the session where you can then delete Velvet.

T. Jimmy, you are either a genius or god. Take your pick. Did as you said and boom, the session opened with disabled plugins. I was able to activate just the Velvet insert on the track and delete. Session opens every time now!
