Waves Cosmos - Free sample finder and also new CR8 sampler

[Guy Rowland]

Cosmos is an XLN-XO-style universe view of your samples (and loops, if any), and it also works with tonal samples. Again like XO, it uses machine learning to auto-tag and populate the database. It comes with 2,500 free samples.

(wondering if this also works well for sound effects....)

There is also a new sampler, CR8:



This is $35, $9.99 on intro. Details here:

First time a Waves plugin actually got me interested

Did anyone try this and find it useful? Stops being free in a week.

Thanks for the reminder. I registered it to my account, even though I can't run V13 plugs.

I’ve had a long bout of COVID that I MAY be finally getting over. Through it I’ve had limited energy, but even before, I’ve found myself ignoring most free stuff. The effort to find my account, download, authorize, blah blah blah rarely seems worth it given that I’ll generally try it and never use it.

Of course, as a COLLECTOR-I mean, more stuff…and free! What could be better? Well, I’m thinking.maybe a cash offer along with the free thingie? Like, “here, try our free product AND we’ll Paypal you $5 for the effort!!”

I think I’m onto something here. Hmmm.

(glad you're on the mend Larry... I hear a lot of stories of mild COVID that don't sound all that mild to me...)

I've taken a leaf out of Laura's book and "bought" it, and I'll install it at some stage if I hear people like it because... yeah, the sheer faff of installing it. "Buying" it is really easy though.

Oh, and I've been super-critical of Waves Central for years, but had cause to use it in anger twice this year, updating both macbook with a new OS and Windows, needing to keep 32 bit plugins working on the latter. IT ALL WORKED FIRST TIME. So credit where it's due...

I had a similar experience installing Clarity-problem-free, blessedly.

Additionally OT-I had an immediate need for Clarity for use on a very noisy emailed iPhone vocal, and WOW! It worked a treat. Turned up the Big Knob and voila. I LOVE an Easy Button!

It’s incredible, isn’t it? It hasn’t worked for me every time, but when it’s good it’s very good indeed.
