Great demonstration! Bought and installed!!!

Not free, but many Rigid Audio instruments for Kontakt come with thousands of unencrypted sample loops in ".wav" format that can be accessed by Cosmos or any sample manager, and used in CR8. I picked up Cinematrix with 1300 24-bit loops (3.2GB) at Audio Plugin Deals for $4.44 (base price) using some of my APD Rewards. Based on the Rigid Audio Synferno engine with all new kits and sounds. Full Kontakt required to run the instrument in Kontakt, but the samples are wide open. https://audioplugin.deals/cinematrix-by-rigid-audio/ https://audioplugin.deals/developer/rigid-audio/

@Carl Ewing @Anxiousmofo @Matthew SorrelsHey, I found out that Cosmos ignores all wave files longer that 59 seconds. I used a couple of test folders, and the Cosmos sample count was always exactly short by the number of samples that were 1 minute or longer. That accounts for this discrepancy with my sample library folders. One mystery solved! I wonder if this "feature" was by design. or accident? It might be inconvenient, especially if a lot of your samples are only slightly longer than a minute...

When I searched on the term "non-linear reverb" I ran into a lot of comments about using a gate after a reverb to get that effect. @bitflipper made a reference to that method above. If that's the sound you're after, you probably already have a reverb and a gate to experiment with.

I didn't have Vibrations yet! Downloaded! Load up the Live projects/sets demos that come with these packs to hear what they are all about. Some good stuff here! TIP: They both are supposed to work with Live 10 Lite, or above.

I went way into the inMusic brand with almost all of the AIR and SONiVOX products about 5 years ago. It was wallet friendly, sounded decent, and mostly worked well. But I've seen zero updates to the original versions for Windows since. Currently it appears that inMusic is focusing mostly on Akai and the DJ hardware and software market. Sadly, even Akai has quietly dropped development of their VIP product for soft synths and keyboard controllers. All I can say is that it must be a tough market out there, and if a company is acquired by inMusic that's not necessarily a sign of good fortune ahead!

"Hipster chip". Bwahahahaha!!!! ???

Everyone's posts in the Cakewalk forums have already been indexed by the Google search engine, so they remain public forever. You cannot hide...

CR8 is for creating inspired sounds from scratch in a track quickly, rather than dealing with a complex multi-sampled instrument. For that, you have Kontakt... Or you could invest in Live or Bitwig.

True that! Not a very good candidate to use on every track in a big mix unless you freeze as you go... But if that's how you work, you probably need to invest in Ableton with it's integrated Simpler and Sampler.

Nope! Cosmos is free, LOL. Works with any DAW or sampler. Cosmos is not actually a plugin either. It's a standalone app. The CR8 sampler is $10. Cosmos is integrated with that using a separate pop-up window. But Cosmos is functionally the same.

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.
