FREE Waves COSMOS Sample Finder & $9.99 CR8 Sampler

[Benoni]

Waves has released a pretty cool sample finder that is AI powered and can tag your samples automatically. Find your samples in the normal 'List' view or check out the 'Sample Cloud' to find similar samples.

It comes with 2500 samples and you can import your own. It's free.

And/or get the new Waves CR8 Creative Sampler for a $9.99 intro price.
CR8 includes COSMOS btw.

Was just looking at that earlier.

The sample manager looks like a scaled down version of Loopcloud and the sampler, whilst not feature packed, looks like another handy tool for simpler tasks, particularly for $10! Looks very similar to Mimic from Reason Studios, but IIRC, that doesn’t do layers.

I assume the filters etc. would sound like MetaFilter or taken from one of their synths. Interested to hear what the timestretch algos sound like.

Again, can’t really complain for the price.

Can't go wrong for Free, or $10 for CR8.

Cosmos is really cool. Would be nice if it had some basic edit functions, but it's easy to sort and find what you want. The Sample Cloud (Cosmos) view reminds me of XLN XO.

I use to use the Loopcloud manager until they went to subscription. I used Soundly before that, then they went to subscription and you couldn't add all your own samples anymore.

Yes! It reminded me of that too but couldn’t for the life of me remember what the name was.

I’ve not checked, but are you not able to continue running the older version prior to subscription? I’ve still got that version installed, but obviously have not tried.

One feature the sampler touts is that you can drag audio directly from the edit window of your DAW to the plugin window. I’ve never seen this work in any Pro Tools plugin except Structure RTAS. The functionality disappeared with AAX. Can anybody be confirm this works or doesn’t? If it does… CR8 is a no-brainer.

I just tried it. Drag-and-Drop does not appear to work in Pro Tools 2021.10. Quite sad. This is a functionality that I have been glaring jealously at Cubase and Logic for.

It is by Avid's design that drag and drop doesn't work. They "fixed" it in the transition from RTAS to AAX.

Yeah. That’s cute when they were banking on everything being AAX-DSP and it was a “hardware limitation” but it ended up being a bad gamble with how things turned out largely native for the “creator” users.

It does work the other way around. You can drag audio and midi from some plugins into the PT timeline. XO and Machine springs to mind. So why not the other way?

You can add your own libraries it seems, which is what I would expect.

On closer inspection, though, it seems to scan you library and automatically tags it all with usable metadata. Making it easier to find similar sounding samples or samples with other types of characteristics.

That, plus the drag and drop I don't think I've seen in a sample browser before. Not to mention it's FREE and only $10 for the sampler. That's a no brainer really.
