Of course. Subscription style revenue (Netflix) and routine repeat small purchases (iTunes) is what these older corporations see as their hedge against revolutionary products in the future.
The ADSR sample manager is simply amazing in itself and being able to use it as a vst instrument is just another level. More useful to me than Waves Cosmos. Many thanks Sanjay
🎉🔥 Congratulations @vkodbeats on being featured this week! 👏🏽 👏🏽Really great music! Keep it up and thanks for sharing your music with our MTMYL community 🙌🏾
Ok now Sanjay C this was a grea comparision and made me drop my jaw as soon as I saw it! And you are right having it as a plug in makes it better for me! Thanks for the idea! Getting this now since I already have CR8! I actually use Cubase and even though it doesnt organize the samples per say I can play and bring in the samples the same way in my DAW!
Honestly I don’t see any use for the waves sampler in my workflow. At This point I think they’re just reinventing the wheel but forget the wheel lug nuts. Just my opinion
I love the cosmos sample manager, since it is fun and it is an interesting way to explorer your sounds. BUT I have done some testing and it is really not happy with too long names and deep folders. I keep everything in folders and in cosmos you have to choose a folder rather close to your sample, for cosmos to put it in the library. I am guessing it has a limit on the number of characters from the folder you add to the samples it will add to the library. The ADSR you also showed us another time, just works like a charm with deep folder structures.
I gave Cosmos two long tries. It is now uninstalled for the second time. It would never finish or complete it's scan. I've had good use of ADSR Sample Manager but it's 'analysis' is based on keywords in the sample names and tags. This can be workable. and I did for a couple of years. ADSR never seems to report 100% scan & analysis unless it's reinstalled. I emailed Support but maybe they've got other things to think about in Hong Kong ... I've kept ADSR installed, out of customer loyalty I guess. HOWEVER Starting with XLN XO I've moved to paid managers. Followed a year later by Sononym and Atlas, these managers actually analyse the SOUND of your samples, so comparisons are reliable and not dependant upon filenames.
Interesting as always Sanjay. I downloaded Cosmos when it came out though I haven't tried it yet. The XO type viewer made it appealing to me (a bit surprised they could do that). A see a definite market for the UA SD-1 mic if the sound is good.
This may have been said already but the Sphere L22 has been out for many years. I got mine when it was a crowd funding campaign and I love it. I don't know what the mike it models sound like but having the option to change the sound of the mic is has been a game changer for me.
It might be similar in design and clearly influenced by Ableton’s sampler but there is much more flexible modulation potential with the LFOs in CR8. I’d say both have their pros and cons.
Cosmos is almost useless once you have over 200,000 samples in it. it's not worth the wait time for this version of Cosmos . First off they don't allow you to just use one whole drive as your mother folder, so you have to point at everything unless you want to put a folder in between your mounted drive and its contents. This comes with no ability to drag and drop your folders, which is a huge failure by Waves, and people have been asking for it. XO and Atlas lets you set the drive path as the entire sample library. and drag and drop. I'm a big fan of the sorting it does but it's borderline useless if you have a super massive library unless you walk away and come back anytime you have changed folders. Lastly, if you only have 8gb of RAM this its not for you if your library is huge, it will take 12-18 hours to process 100k samples on an M2 Mac with 8gb. That's insane. I'll keep it in my collection for when they get it right, but right now as is it's a bigger headache than it is a tool for me, XO and Atlas are handling my samples brilliantly and super fast.
The Premade Lines in Session Bassists are amazing, but when you play a melody yourself i think it sound really unnatural. the complex velocity curve sounds good enough, but there are too many details missing, like when you play two semitones close to each other it shouldnt just play the same thing two times in different pitches, i wanna hear that sliding sound and the first sound has to be interrupted and generally everything needs to be a lot more context aware. I like my old Ample Bass P Lite II better XD
cosmos is great,BUT ADSR have ableton link and its amazing to fast find acapella or any loop and play in the sync with the project in logic x...its amazing!! regards
I use loop cloud as my sample manager. I can play multiple loops at once or along side my DAW’s current project when synced for easy and quick inspiration. This is so far my favorite after trying out pretty much most of the options on the market.
The Sphere L22 Townsend Labs mic was released in 2018 , pretty sure its the same stuff, hundreds of videos of that on the net, bough it and sold it recently. Cheers Sanjay
I love that your wife Dharti has a place in your podcasts and that you can share the love of music with her! Wishing you many happy years together! Saw that she had a wrist brace. As someone who has a chronic wrist issue, I hope it is only temporary. BenGay and my HiDow unit are my friends, they help me to make the music I love as much as my DAW and VST's do. I just bought Session Bassist. I am thinking that not only is it going to improve my songs, but also teach me a few things about playing my bass guitar. :)
Great plugins Sanjay! Also want to ass ADSR is great because they have a huge sample library online which downloads seemlessly to the app. Dam Waves copied XO and ADSR!!🤣 both of which I have and use alot. Its like a direct copy. I don't know, I expect more form Waves tbh.
Tried adding my huge sample library to ADSR .. now it just locks up if I try and open it... So doesn't seem to work that well with large amounts of samples , which is bad for a sample library manager.
I gave up on Cosmos. Gave it a week and a half to sync and tag my sample folders, and that still wasn't enough. I think it basically can't handle larger sample libraries.
I used to LOVE ADSR Sample Manager because I’m on Logic and the file browser of the DAW can’t play 32 bit samples… However, for some reason, since an update, when you drag a sound from ADSR Sample Manager to your playlist, it creates a normalized audio clip in your folders 👎👎👎👎, I use the Alchemy Synth (stock plugin) to browse my files now since it can also play 32 bit. However, the preview sound is so low…
Oh man komplete 14 is shaping up to be super nice. East Asia + Nylon guitar + session bassist and more! Just wish they can find some time to add kontakt resize.
@@SanjayC That will be a bummer for sure. But everything is going more expensive these days. Even their midi controller. Btw Sanjay Have you hired a new editor? Because the video quality is getting better and better! Impressive :D
Once again Sanjay, you have cost me money! What am I gonna do with you? Just picked up Imagine at that steep discounted price. Thanks. Since I' m a frequent user of Plugin Boutique (thanks to a certain content creator *ahem*) I was able to use virtual cash to get the price down even further. 🙂 Also, for sample managers, I use Loopmaster which I think is really more robust than Cosmos or ADSR, but it's not free. To each his own.
@@SanjayC it was pretty good. For me I now have a week break from school which is needed! Some frustrations with a “new” MIDI keyboard but still making some crazy synth sounds! 🙌
To whoever is reading this : May God bless you ! You’re gunna do great for ur school year ! Put God first and everything will fall into place ! John 3:16 says , “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life ! WIshing nothing but love , joy , peace, prosperity, faith, hope, etc. Have a blessed day
After ur advice Sanjay, I really don’t like producing with over the ear headphones. I live in an apartment, so no option. Do u know of any good quality in ear monitors. Any help would be much appreciated;)
I got the Dt700 pro x u recommend, but still can’t stand them being over my ears, I live in Australia and they get hot and heavy haha, any advice on in ear would be massively appreciated.
Great Video. I'm looking for buy piano and guitar vst . I'm confusing between Keyscape and Native instrument komplete 13 ? which one is best good one best value ? or do you have another one recommend ? Thank you.
Hmmm... Cosmos vs XO ? XO is hard to beat, especially when it has the sequencer/drum machine built in. Feels like a poor attempt to take some XO users? ADSR is my loop manager with XO as the one shot manager - they're a good pair :)
Great again. You‘ll laugh, but I purchased Prime Bass at the beginning of the week and downloaded Cosmos also a few days ago! The UA microphone that emulates many different mics could be interesting! Thanx again for these Saturday news which I saw today - it’s Sunday here in Austria!
