satya Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 As a lightweight sampler which u could put in every track would it be waves CR8 OR Sitala OR SPEEDRUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapsa Kuusniemi Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Of those three only CR8 is actually a samper you can use as a general purpose sample player. The other two are drum oriented. Sure you probably can do chromatic sampled instruments with them, but then you will have to load samples into each and every pad... So CR8 is the only traditional sampler.

Then you also have TX16W: https://www.tx16wx.com/ And Big Fish Audio has their Momentum: https://www.bigfishaudio.com/momentum.html Don't how lightweight TX16W or Momentum are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidan o driscoll Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Dont forget the very capable GRACE sampler - FREE 64 bit. https://www.onesmallclue.com Scroll down the page. Also there you have FREE Poise: Percussion Sampler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.r Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Right, once I saw CR8 announced I understood there's probably no more any sampletrack for Cakewalk in the pipeline (assuming there was one). Is CR8 actually light on resources? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubdisciple Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 It depends on what I need a sampler for. If it is Boombap type sample flipping Serato sample is king. I won't count DAW-like programs like Maschine or MPC that can be used as plugins. They bith have excellent samplers but kind of overkill for simple sampling. For preset instrument libraries Kontakt. For simple one shot drum samples Sitala works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esteban Villanova Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) I’m using Groove Agent 5 SE for drums. It’s incredibly powerful and low on CPU. It has every FX and routing option you can imagine. You can get it with any version of Cubase including the LE you can get for $10 online. Just make sure to download it from the VSTi tab of the Steinberg download app, not the one under your Cubase license (this way you can use it in other DAWs). Once it’s installed go to the Cubase tab (of the version you own) and download Groove Agent’s content. Boom. For one shot samples Komplete Kontrol (free) is VERY handy, with FX, MPC sampler emulation and VST support to load your effects. For anything more complicated I use Kontakt.

abacab Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited February 18, 2022 by abacab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubdisciple Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Kontakt is not exactly lightweight so scratch that. Decent is lighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteban Villanova Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Users are reporting that CR8 is using about 900 MB of RAM per empty instance though ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
