G for giveaways perhaps!

Must admit I deleted all of the sounds apart from some melodic loops - not my thing at all sadly! But thanks anyway 🙂

I'm getting the same message having removed the freebie!

Edit - Worked with the code they sent in my email - I'd used the code on the order page! 

So sorry to hear this. Best wishes for the future to all staff

Your issues are nothing to do with Cakewalk being free. It is a fully featured, constantly improving software programme previously retailing at around £400 which has excellent developer support including in this forum.  People here will be only too pleased to help with any issues you have - just provide more detail. I've never experienced the problems you outline in years of using Sonar Home Studio and now CbB and I learned everything from scratch

It's not the point anyways, I was asking if other DAWs are like that aswell, or if the fact they are not free they are maybe more polished, more user friendly, more optimized, less crashes and bugs etc.

No

I used to use Asio4All and so didn't have this issue

Sorry accidentally bold! 

Ah - so can I change my sample  rate without causing other issues?

Thank- I tried changing it to 400 then clicked ''Apply' but it didn't change. I tried a lower multiple of 8 and clicked Apply but still didn't change

Just loaded up one of the free libraries FRCTURE 

I can get it to play but it crackles - just checked another project with other synths installed an no problems there

When opened MNDLA comes up with a message that 'buffer size of 441 samples is not supported - please change to a buffer with a multiple of 8'. I have tried to alter the buffer size but CbB doesn't seem to allow me to

I'm using WASAPI Shared onboard Realtek sound chip at 44100 sampling rate. I know nothing about Sample Rates so don't want to mess with this without advice in case it affects anything else! I'm not that desperate to use the free sounds! 

Any ideas?  

I agree that it seems a bit of an odd policy. However, and I'm not sure if it is the usual reaction, but when I got Total Studio 2 and realised later that I hadn't downloaded one of the sample packs, I explained this to support and they allowed me to download it for free. So if he hasn't paid yet he could explain his misapprehension and try asking nicely if they would do the same for him 🙂 

Ah thanks Peter - so it wasn't us 🙂 Nice freebie

Yep - that did the trick thanks!

Ah worth a try! I'll report back!

Great series though - I missed these!

I'm sure there must be an easier way 😉

Had the same issues - not appearing anywhere so went into Custom Shop but I don't have the green tick next to X-Drive 😞

If I recall correctly the CM freebies that use a code are often time limited as suggested above so if it is from December 2020 it could well be gone

Do you mean CM Play of DS 404? In both cases it's a no. Here is what is currently in the instrument Plug In Suite

I think it's available with every edition - but yes that is a great way of getting hold of it if you don't have a sub

They now have a zip file that contains other download links. Much quicker,

 

I must use that next time!

That's a possibility but (for PC at least) Thorn CM is in the Plug instruments  Suite Folder downloadable from FileSilo (if you have an hour to spare 😉  )

When I realised that the Thorn CM was a Mac only version I wondered if originally it had only been released for Windows - I have the that version from when it was initially released. I thought it odd that there was no mention of an update. 

 

Can we have a truce now guys please? 

Thanks - She is very engaging as well as being very talented!
