shawker Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 If I remember correctly this product was abandoned a couple of years ago, and never worked properly in Sonar/CbB. It's looping function would stop working after a couple of iterations. This may be a new and improved version, but I'm not sure. I gave up on it long ago, though it did seem like a good idea. You had to upgrade to liquid music to get the newer version of liquid rhythm and it wasn't worth it for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I bought Liquid Rhythm on sale a few years ago, and it works as advertised, with the exception of the sync issues (looping region loss) with Cakewalk Sonar. I contacted WaveDNA support about that, and they admitted knowing about the issue, but had not solved it yet. Apparently Sonar and Bitwig posed some unique challenges for them in that regard. They stated that "This same plugin version works fine in Ableton, Cubase, Studio One, Logic, Reaper, but is unpredictable in Bitwig and Sonar." It is a very useful way to generate original MIDI drum patterns, and try many variations without having to draw them by hand into a piano roll or step sequencer. You can set it up to drive your drum VSTi of choice within your DAW, or use the factory sounds in the plugin. So I was able to drive Addictive Drums 2 with the patterns in Liquid Rhythm.

iScream Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 If you doubt to purchase this, you can wait and buy it at $15-$20 (according to my records) on the big sale. And yes, at least Steam version of this plugin is abandoned and very buggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 An additional note: When using Liquid Rhythm as a plugin, it actually uses a VST2 plugin called Liquid Rhythm Bridge that links the full Liquid Rhythm app to the DAW host and transport. With the plugin active, you will need to set up a loop region in the host DAW track view, and then use the DAW's transport controls to start/stop the Liquid Rhythm playback. You will have two app windows to work with, one for your DAW and the other for Liquid Rhythm. Initially the internal Liquid Rhythm audio is sent to your DAW via one stereo (1/2) output, but there are up to 8 stereo audio outputs that can be configured in the Liquid Rhythm mixer. In the plugin mode, you will also see Liquid Rhythm available as an available MIDI input in the DAW instrument track inputs, so you can trigger other drum virtual instruments in the DAW host, and replace the Liquid Rhythm sounds by muting the audio track(s) from Liquid Rhythm. The Liquid Rhythm Bridge brings over the audio and MIDI from Liquid Rhythm, that you can use them as desired in the host, or not. So it's sort of like a ReWire hack, without using ReWire. Otherwise Liquid Rhythm is also a standalone app. When used as standalone it should work fine using its own transport, because it is not dependent on syncing to a host transport for the loop function.

chris.r Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 they should have used ReWire instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Update: I tested the same old LR plugin again today with Cakewalk by BandLab (2019.05), and I looped a 2 bar pattern for over an hour without losing sync. Maybe the bakers accidentally fixed something in the Cakewalk transport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
