Olaf Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 i've installed it, but it has no selectable install paths, and it makes folders all over the place. i've tried moving the freetaktvst folder to my vst folder, and cakewalk doesn't see it. the freetaktvst folder is full of dlls. has anybody managed to get it recognized? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3studio Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) Hi Olaf, it seems that they are publishing updates with corrections and improvements almost every day. In version 1.0.6, there is now an option to select the VST directory during the installation... for me it's all working fine Edited March 31, 2023 by R3Studio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1984 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 The question I have yet to find an answer to is who, exactly, is behind this effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esteban Villanova Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Tracktion was never made by them, just included with some products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grem Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 This reminds me of the free plugins format. Since it's intro, haven't heard much about it. So this may make a big splash and then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been noticing some uptake amongst indie developers, if you mean CLAP. I guess one wouldn't hear much about it until they went to acquire a plug-in and noticed that the developer offered it in that format. What else is there to hear? Which was part of my skepticism about its eventual success: it doesn't really mean anything to me as a consumer. There aren't going to be any hosts or plug-ins that are going to be CLAP-only. It only (possibly) benefits developers, with mayyyyybe a slight benefit to consumers in the form of letting Steinberg know that there is a viable format ready to take VST's place if they ever decide to wield their power in a crappy way (again, like they did with VST3 by essentially forcing plug-in developers to code in features that were missing or broken from Cubendo like sidechaining support).

Like you said, I wouldn't notice until some dev started offering it. Which is where I am. Haven't seen any of the major players offer it yet. If even one would offer it, that's major. My concerns here are licensing. What are libraries going to be protected with? Will Freetack offer something that would encourage devs to code for that platform? We will see.

Sidney Earl Goodroe Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Downloaded, installed, and tested. Latency issues, sticking notes, uninstalled!! I was interested in this because I have been looking for an alternative besides TW16x for building my own sample libraries. Sorry! I am very happy with TW16x and will stick with it for now. I hope they continue work on Freetakt as it looks to be a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3studio Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I've been using the Freetakt 1.0.7 with piano in cakewalk without any latency issues, it’s working fine so far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this may make a big splash and then.... The 800-pound gorilla will likely continue (kontinue?) to be Kontakt. That product goes back 21 years and that's a very long time to incorporate an impressive series of technology improvements and a list of features under the covers. I applaud anyone willing to take on a task like Freetakt because there are too many vectors that lead to any meaningful adoption -- it's a hell of a long road. Were I interested in turning any of the recordings I've made over the years into sample libraries, I haven't yet seen anywhere near enough detail that would compel me to invest my time and energy. Too many unknowns. In the mean time, Kontakt does what it says on the tin. Encoding and license fees are the overhead to maintain both the platform and provide a library its copy protections. After studying the fee schedule, I find little to object to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
