FOMO is hard sometimes, but not installing any Waves plugins is not a bad approach either! Haha.. There's not many Waves plugins that I don't feel you can replace with other plugins, but to their credit, they do have some good ones. If they changed some of their business practices, then I would've bought / used more. For the drums use case, there are generally plenty of options outside of Waves. I'm not sure that just those two in Kilohearts would get exactly the same vibe, but I'm pretty sure with Snapheap and a few other sweeteners in there, you likely could.

I don't have any Waves installed right now, but every once in a while, FOMO kicks in and the temptation awakens! 😂 I haven't tried the IDX freebie from last year either. Still not sure if Kilohearts Snap Heap with the Dynamics and Transient Shaper can't do the same and more.

It`s the first time I am facing it and I am a Cakewalk user since 1998! What is very odd is that when I add a new note just in the missing spot the old one appears together with the new one! Another weird behavior is that, since I have copied and pasted it several time during the track, there are parts that shows up and parts that doesn`t show it! Lol!

It has had no real love since the late 1990 and Pro Audio 9. Never seen missing notes though, I use it all the time, have you tried zooming in?

I already have checked and it doesn`t show anything even in 1/32 resolution! But anyway the missing notes are 1/8 and it should show that anyway! I know that Cakewalk Staff view isn`t its best part of that DAW, but it is the first time I have seen this issue!

I tried this on drums and it didn't actually sound half bad. I'd never buy it.. but it wasn't entirely terrible for that particular use case

Synthmaster 3 is the version with all the features. One is the easier to use/simple layout version. Player is more of a preset player with limited tweaking.

Following what Jonathan said above takes you to this page:

Thanks!!! Can someone please tell me what is the difference between SynthMaster, SynthMaster One, SynthMaster Player? Looks confusing to me. Bought SynthMaster Player (v2) a while back, and couldn’t get a clear picture between all these versions.

Addictive Drums 2 updated to Version 2.8.9 Update via xln audio | Online Installer Release Notes · Fixed a graphics-related performance regression on Windows · Fixed a bug that made Lock Tempo stick to 120 bpm in Standalone mode · Fixed a bug in the interaction between FX Trig Gate and Delay Tempo Sync

Thank you sir, the Icon just needed a airing. 15, 16 & 17 are out there somewhere lurking.

Installing VST2-only plugins in 2025 - that will never be updated again - is not smart. People don't think of legacy support when hoarding this stuff. Steinberg stopped issuing VST2 licenses in 2018, and removed VST2 SDK from public availability in 2022. Cubase / Nuendo are the first DAWs to stop displaying VST2 by default (you have to manually activate their paths), but it won't be the last. Case in point. People underestimate how big a pain the ***** (and potentially how expensive) this kind of thing is in the long run. EDIT: On a related note - I am amazed how good a job U-He did ensuring projects that used old VST2 versions of their plugins (even going back like 15 years) still load the VST3 versions...which is all they support anymore. Was opening a bunch of very old projects this weekend, and they are obviously using IPluginCompatibility in the VST3 SDK to ensure when the DAW sees "Zebra2(x64).dll" that it automatically flips to "Zebra2.vst3". It understands that the VST ID, file name and file format have changed, and loads in the newest version with full backward capability. Very few developers know how to do this, nor care enough to try.

Thanks for answering. Who knows why my computers didn't get the start menu shortcut, maybe there was a box I unchecked at some point or whatever. Yeah, good thing to install the Intro version, the T-RackS 6 freebie gives you very nice EQ and compressor. And IK Multimedia have been friendly in the past about allowing you to grow your collection of processors, they work with magazines and websites to have giveaways. That's how I got one of my very favorite FX, the T-RackS 670 Fairchild emulation. It showed me the wonders of mid/side dynamics and I also like its general coloration. Speaking of IK Multimedia's commitment to M/S processing, the Classic EQ that comes with Intro has their L/R-M/S widget, which allows you to use it in 3 different modes. The standard linked stereo, where both sides are EQ'd the same, unlinked stereo, where you can give left and right different curves, and M/S, where you can give mid and side different curves. I don't know for sure what the "stereo enhancement" control on Classic Compressor does, but it probably applies differing settings to M/S and/or L/R.

Because of your post (which I thanked), I installed the free version (it really wasn't clear that clicking "try" would actually install the free version; I was looking for explicit free things) and it gave me Start Menu shortcut.

An old AMD Phenom II X4. No problems with Synthmaster 2.9

I can't play drums, just keys. So I found two midi drum loops in the Cakewalk Content folder and edited them to fit, and added a few extra hits here and there, to sound more human. The bass line is also a midi clip that I made edits with.

that's most of my plugins - the issue is quantity and not quality

Sorry . . . gave it a whirl, had to revert back to the previous version. I'm using the Dark Grey theme, and don't like what happened to the Track View track titles, they went greyer, where they were previously much whiter and stood out a lot more, hence, easier to read. Hope we won't be forced into this upgrade to get the other new features. I like where it's going, but clearly not there yet. I noticed you've only made background type of things editable in your new theme editor, and not text type of things.

They sound good. So do you play them on your keyboard or what.

Quite the opposite here. First I thought I wasn’t into their guitars. Then fell in love with Cinedream, and got almost everything Ujam made, from the orchestral Hans Zimmer libs and the (prog) rock drummers to the accompanying basses, FX and Finishers. Heck, I even started liking the guitars in the end. To cut a long story short, Ujam has become one of my most appreciated devs. Go figure.
