Troubleshooting
If the download seems to be taking a little while to start just wait it out. It might be that the server is busy so give it a few minutes.
If you’re trying to install from within the plugin version of Rhapsody and it doesn’t seem to be working, try the standalone app version instead. If all else fails go with the manual installation method demonstrated in the video above.
If you use a firewall or anti-virus, make sure Rhapsody is whitelisted and allowed to access the internet.
There are more instructions on the Rhapsody page and at the Libre Wave knowledge base.
If you need further assistance you can open a support ticket through your Libre Wave account dashboard and I’ll get back to you as quickly as possible.
FAQ
If you deactivate your license or transfer it to someone else you will no longer have access to those files.
The license key is not needed inside Rhapsody itself and there is no form of DRM.
It is still possible to use Rhapsody with Pro Tools by running the plugin in an external host.
Another option is to use Metaplugin however we provide no support for this.
If you run into any problems in FL Studio there are two things you can try straight away.
Firstly, make sure you are using an audio buffer size that is a power of two: 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, etc.
Secondly, enable FL Studio’s align tick lengths option. You can find this in Options > Audio Settings > CPU > Align Tick Lengths.
