My understanding is that this can only happen if you add your real name to your BandLab profile (not required). But still, it should not be happening.

CR8 usage in Reaper with the native Reaper performance meter. Cakewalk doesn't seem to have a way to breakout use by plugin or track, but I imagine that it would be close. Reaper shows less that 1% CPU being used by CR8 while playing back a loop. Look down at the track usage in the bottom pane, not the total CPU usage at the top.

I got one for each soundpack. Ha!

I got the Famous E for $56 with the -60% group buy 2021 discount, plus a few Orange Slices to sweeten the deal by another -22%. Dealio! That high regular price is probably due to the fact that it's Kontakt Player compatible, so OT has to pay NI for the privilege of including it as an "official" Kontakt library. Full Kontakt not required! So this was a very good deal! Stay tuned for the next group buy!

I just tried stacking Phase Plant with Saurus, using a bunch of random presets from each. Then soloed each layer and deleted those that didn't work. Ended up with a nice fat bass, lead, and riser stack, that I never would have discovered on my own!

Yup, tried that out with the newly "Unified" factory Phase Plant presets. BIG sound!!!

The random dice button is fun!

Please don't quote me with an irrelevant comment. I said nothing about the 2nd seat license.

I picked the Famous E at the last OTS group buy. It sounds amazing!!!

Bottom line, a subscription-only license means exactly what @huskersaid, if you stop paying you lose access to the program. On the other hand, a perpetual license means that you can use the program for as long as it works on your computer, without paying another dime. Waves licenses are perpetual. A perpetual license typically doesn't include any upgrades or support beyond a stated initial term, at the discretion of the publisher. Some may provide free upgrades and/or or support, but that is not guaranteed by a license for the purchased version. Again, that is at the sole discretion of the publisher. Waves WUP is strictly a support agreement. Support agreements and fees are extras that the end user enters into voluntarily. An individual, or the organization that they represent, has to decide for themselves if there is any worthwhile benefit to the cost.

Just do it! I've been playing around with it, and it's got quite a few useful features, as well as 810 factory presets! There is an advanced panel that drops out at the bottom with 4 modulators and 4 ADSR envelopes. It's a nice one! Only $10 now!

I spoke too soon! ? After adding a large 22GB folder, with some 9 sub-folders containing a total of 300+ sample files, Cosmos only picked up 95 samples there. They are environmental, found sound types of recordings, so maybe there is a limit of some type? But it located thousands of samples in other folders. I currently show 23,276 samples listed in Cosmos local folders. Not too bad for someone that never realized he had this many samples hidden away in various drive locations, LOL! Regardless, it probably wouldn't hurt to ping Waves support at some point.

In only have Melodyne Essential and the monophonic audio/MIDI extraction (bass and solo lines, etc.) works here. I believe polyphonic (chords) extraction requires a higher level of Melodyne.

I wonder if it may have something to do with the folder structure, such as how many nested levels deep it will search? Might be a bug. Or maybe they never tested with a collection your size! ? I added a master folder here with 7 sub-folders, and each of them have the sample files in 10-30 sub-folders. I now see samples listed from these lower level down sub-folders, and they were not added individually by me.

Who needs WUP? I use their plugins just fine as is, most of them expired.

Thanks, but it seems I downloaded and tried the plugin out right after Larry posted the deal. If you had posted earlier, you would have saved me some time, LOL! I just got around to mentioning the iLok thingy today, and didn't re-read the thread first.

Well, as @Doug Rintoulpointed out here, there is quite a bit of usability with Cosmos by itself. The sample drag & drop to a DAW track works the same with or without a sampler like CR8. I tested Cosmos with a couple of integrated Studio One samplers like Sample One XT, and Impact XT, and you can drag the sample directly into the instrument UI, just like you can with CR8. So I'm not seeing any downside here to just using Cosmos with your DAW tracks, and/or any samplers you might have loaded inside the DAW.

I forgot that Slate Digital requires either iLok Cloud (always connected), or an iLok USB, to authorize and use their plugins. No offline use permitted with iLok Cloud. Your Slate plugins are useless without an internet connection. Meh. Uninstalled... No Slate Digital for me!

Don't you get WUP included free for the first year after a new purchase?

Waves might be next! $9.99 for a brand new sampler! ?

Popeye's chicken sandwich is finger lickin' good! ?

Or ...
