Peter Hintze Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Can anyone help me with 3 questions I have..? 1. Cosmos launches but gets stuck creating the database. Does anyone has the same error?? 2. and CR8 disappears in the lists of VSTi after Cakewalk is launched a second time? why is that? 3. How does Waves provide updates to their software to us users? (e. g. the Native Instrument clients highlights updates to installed software, I don't see anything like this in the Waves Client..? Thank you, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Peter 1. Not here. 2. Cakewalk only shows the VST2 version here. Refuses to show the VST3, although it is installed in the correct folder. VST3 shows up fine in Reaper and elsewhere. Tried reset and rescan in Cakewalk preferences. No improvement. Weird! 3. Install Waves Central. All update notifications and update downloads are issued there, as well as installation and activation. Edited February 23, 2022 by abacab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Waves perform the updates in the background without notification ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) Interesting. I just bought CR8 yesterday and installed it using Waves Central and had no issues. I'm using the latest version of Cakewalk and CR8 installed perfectly fine as a VST3. I'm running a fairly new, pretty powerful Win 10 machine (with all of the latest updates installed), built specifically for running my DAW, KONTAKT, big sample libraries and various plugins. While I'm not a fan of the Waves' Update Plan or how Waves' goes about marketing their products -- with respect to pre-informing prospective customers about WUP -- for ten bucks, IMO, CR8 is a worthwhile tool.

The first warning sign I had was that over a span of twenty minutes the installation process added several (5) older Microsoft Visual C++ files (200-2013) that no other program previously needed. The second warning sign was that the program seemed to be doing almost nothing for about forty minutes.

Does Waves perform the updates in the background without notification ? 2. Undetermined here... I think there may be something strange with the way this CR8 plugin is identified in any given DAW that varies. Plus the fact that the actual plugin is masked by the complexity of the WavesShell plugin thingy. Not really a big concern, as I can use some version of it anywhere! But I don't quite grasp why it is disappearing on yours. 😧 For example I have 5 different DAWs installed, Ableton Live 11 Suite, Cakewalk by BandLab, Reaper, Studio One Pro 5, and Waveform 11 Pro. I use the same plugin scan paths in each of these... Ableton recognizes both CR8 VST and VST3 versions. CbB only recognizes the CR8 VST2. Reaper recognizes the CR8 VST2 as an FX, but the VST3 as an instrument. Studio One only shows theCR8 VST3 because that DAW is set to ignore VST2 if both are available (CbB can be set either way, and I tried both - no luck). Waveform shows both CR8 VST and VST3 versions. 3. Waves Central puts a notification that updates are available, but it's up to you to install them. It synchronizes with your Waves online account whenever you launch it, and checks for updates at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second warning sign was that the program seemed to be doing almost nothing for about forty minutes. Sorry to hear that it didn't work out for you. I think it's one of the coolest freeware programs to come along in a while. It only added the most recent MS Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable to mine. I already had all of the others installed. A standard practice if an application requires a later VC runtime library than what is already installed on the target system, so not a big concern for me. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/redistributing-visual-cpp-files?view=msvc-170 And it can be a hog when initially scanning. Cosmos took several hours to index and tag 40,000+ loops and samples here, with all 6 cores nearly full blast and fans revving up. I am running a fairly recent 9th gen Intel Core i5-9600K at 4.3GHz. I listened in on a Waves "ask me anything" Discord with the product manager yesterday. Waves is using some state of the art "AI" training to analyze each music sample and tag it, it's not just reading the file name. It will not even run on older CPU's that lack "AVX" (Advanced Vector Extensions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
