Gotta say, I'm not even into sound design, but I'm totally blown away. Incredible tool and fun for just about any musician. And the Cosmos sample tagger is unreal and will make you want to totally index your old samples. Endless possibilities truly. Pretty deep but yet not inaccessible or too hard to use. Brilliant!
@@bu5hm45t3r This CR8 is pretty good. Sure it doesn't do all the stuff Ableton's Simpler/Sampler do, but its 9 bucks and does a lot of cool things. I am already using it and also this Cosmos browser/whatever is handy.
big props to waves for making this SO FREAKING AFFORDABLE, so used to feeling almost scammed by plugins charging just way too much, but for once i feel like this plugin is UNDERVALED. super respectable and big ups to the team
Got this after watching an ad on RUclips. I was so amazed by the advert I had to purchase it, and would paid 50. It was only 10 bucks on sale! I couldn't believe it. Had an issue with the license, support through chat took care of me in minutes. I'm impressed.
Wow. I picked this up yesterday and haven’t had a chance to dive deep- I am pretty damn impressed with how deep this is, esp for $10!!!!! Thank you, Waves!
Cheers, I just bought this cause I needed some basic functionality like one-shot triggering of samples and a bit of pitching here and there for my purely computer-based keyboard live setup. CR8's interface is so easy to understand, it really is a blast and fills exactly that gap, thank you!
So glad I bought this today. I'm kinda new to samplers like this, but I got some great results really quick. Great workflow and very inspiring to play with. Looking forward exploring all the options
It's awesome I purchased this plugin yesterday night but I couldn't download it because of slow network. I'm very excited to use. One thing I love that is any sound I can play as a instrument
Yo! This producer had sold me on a number of your plugins! (Ovox) 😂 WAVES GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE. Just watched other videos on this plugin and this was the kicker.
Great tutorial. Great sampler plug in and cosmos. Woah. A novice like me is creating dope sounds. Thanks waves for great plug ins at affordable prices.
I often work across different DAWs and I never realised how useful a universal sampler could be until I got my hands on this… at $10, how can you not!!!
Thanks for making this is an excellent demo, and sweet plugin. it's got the essentials, in a slick interface, with extras that help you out. really is nice. comes with a cool AI sample finder.
Wow, this is amazing! I already have a plugin that can transform my voice into a robot, but this one will be a nice one as well. I think this one has a lot more options & it's AFFORDABLE!!!
That's really good, Waves, and I'm not even a fan. Although this is fantastic and the pricing is really good right now I'd like to point out one thing I really, really missed: the possibility of setting and mapping multiple slices in a SAME audio layer. This is pretty standard and although I kinda understand why CR8 avoided this it's still a pretty essential feature imo. Any how, it's an excellent sampler.
Looks fun and creative, I'm looking forward grabbing this to make some instruments with. I hope in the future you'll add support for more than 8 samples, round robins etc. so it can start competing with Kontakt - CR8 seems more user friendly. Hmm I'm guessing the name CR8 suggests that a CR500 or CRPRO or whatever is coming at some point :P
@@GTSongwriter Yeah pretty much (though some of the pitch-shifting algorithms in CR8 are worth a look and might not be replicable in Kontakt, as far as I know) It is quite fun to use to create characterful instruments, not so great for realistic ones. I would say the sounds it comes with make it worth the price, even if you own kontakt already, they're all quite fun and quirky.
It would be cool if the samples being auditioned in cosmos be automatically pitch mapped when the "Suggest Root Key" button is enabled. So that one would not be limited to specific sample pitches when auditioning for new sounds.
That would mean delayed auditioning when clicking every sample because the program would have to load that sample in the RAM plus the extra processing to map the accordingly to the key. That would drive other users nuts and make them lose their patience. Of course, it wouldn’t hurt as an optional flip-of-a-button switch.
Bought it today for 9.99$ without really watching any videos, I saw the potential just by looking at the UI screenshots. After seeing this video, damn, it's really powerful and usable! Love it
Hi, i fell in love with this plugin and i'm a hard Mpc software user. My question is, i would like to insert this plugin in my Mpc to have more possibilities to tweak the sounds but i have a big problem of Syncing it with the mpc tempo. Do you have any advice? Thanks
Hi there, please note that MPC is not one of our supported hosts. Therefore, we cannot guarantee it will work as expected as we did not test and qualify it for MPC. Please see our system requirements and supported hosts here: www.waves.com/support/tech-specs/supported-hosts www.waves.com/support/tech-specs/system-requirements
1:45 I can do this step but the sound I uses changes speed depending on the note. I thought I dont wan't to hit C2 and have it slow and hit C6 and it be super fast. Is there a way to keep all notes the same?
I can’t wait for waves to put out a Drum sampler like bfd but something more intuitive and a bit more presets for reggae. Even 5 different playing styles. I.e sly and robbie, roots raddicks, black slate, Bob Marley, etc with lots of variety of fills/rolls .🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
CR8 is a really good sampler. The features are configured to be easy to use and I love them. But I'm a little disappointed that I can't draw the LFO drawing tool delicately. I hope you can improve that part a little bit.
The trick he's doing with adding sustain to the 808 is something I did many man years ago with Maschine. That's why the legato function (are you listening, Akai?) is so important. Along with 808s, you can use the same trick on any one shot with decent enough length. Maschine has been able to do this for a very long time but Akai is lacking the legato feature so you can't do infinite sustain like you can on Maschine.
So @9:35 he plays the individual hits of the loop, I'm trying to get this to work but did he chop them up manually? Does CR8 not have an autmatic splitting opf the individual hits?
@@ruudheadz7095 Already have it! 🔥 🔥 🔥 Very inspiring! I like the way it warps samples. And of course, layering is very cool feature in this sampler! Now it's one of my favourite experimental instruments!
And one more thing - the price! 9$ for a creative and simple monster with powerfull search system and hundreds of samples - it's definitely worth it! 👍👍👍👍
Can someone elaborate on 2:20? He mentions COSMOS organizes all your sounds but how does it recognize the sounds? Do you need to direct it to the folders etc?
Hi there, COSMOS is an AI-Powered sample finder. You need to direct it to the main folder of all your samples and it does the work for you: www.waves.com/plugins/cosmos-sample-finder
You can modulate the playhead with the speed and offset rotary depending on current playback mode,...but can you modulate the sample markers and loop markers?
Great content, but the background tracks are very distracting. The sampler concept is a game changer for me, because it hides complex technologie behind a user friendly intiutive interface.
It’s incredible! . Especially with Cosmo. Waves could have crushed all samplers by going all out with a auto slice function and extensive sequencer and per layer modulators. Missed opportunity imo.

As a sound designer, this is a must. Incredible! Highly recommend!
Thanks chilly, now I need to buy it, while I'm still using trial version of FL studio lol :')
Bought this after 3 min of the demo. Incredible versatility!
How does this compare to the Cubase sampler? Is it worth buying CR8 if I already have Cubase? Thanks.
Is it better than Native Instruments Kontact 6 Sampler?
@@SheldonTamI Wouldn't know. Don't use cubase.
@@GTSongwriter I wouldn't know. I don't us Kontact 6, but i bet its amazing!
Reaper was missing a sampler, a good sampler, like this exact one. Purchased, cheers.
Absolutely!
@Nathaniel Walker I have ableton and love it. Not waves fan at all. But i will buy this amazing instrument.
man, really reaper needs a powerful sampler like ableton live has, it'll be a game changer

Sitala 👀
Maybe the ultimate sampler !! really good work!!
This got me automatically into a sound designer, got mine a few days ago. This is nice!
Definitely bought this! Love it!
🔥🔥🔥
If you could chop samples in this like Ableton Simpler you'd never need to use another sampler.
I really don't get why they wouldn't have this feature... so frustrating!
i use it in Abelton with very little computer use,
big props to waves for making this SO FREAKING AFFORDABLE, so used to feeling almost scammed by plugins charging just way too much, but for once i feel like this plugin is UNDERVALED. super respectable and big ups to the team
Waves stuff is usually very affordable. Very good company.
Except they lie cheat. And try hard to push that greed.
This is really lit - a hardware version of this guy perhaps in a drumpad fashion would be super monster.
Yeah bro that’d be absolutely nuts

Wow. I picked this up yesterday and haven’t had a chance to dive deep- I am pretty damn impressed with how deep this is, esp for $10!!!!! Thank you, Waves!
you did such a great job of creating interesting powerful uses for this Sampler, your demo is the best i've seen on You Tube, great prop's to you Bro

This might knock Serato out of my rotation. Looks great!
Looks to be fantastic value for the money.
Very thought our sampler. Great job Waves as always.

Thx guys for making this. Now I can make „new“ music for my projects!

Masterful Tutorial! Great Salesman.
This is siiiiiccckkk!!! Can cut down alot of time when Flippin samples, sound design etc!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great tutorial. Great sampler plug in and cosmos. Woah. A novice like me is creating dope sounds. Thanks waves for great plug ins at affordable prices.
This is maybe the most powerful instrument, above all Synths and other VSTi
You can make anything from any little sample, damn
I often work across different DAWs and I never realised how useful a universal sampler could be until I got my hands on this… at $10, how can you not!!!
So so good perfect for any sample
Comprehensive sampler and review - I’m in!
F’n incredible. It’s what Logic’s Sampler wants to be.
fantastic video demonstration! great sampler!!
Bought it after watching the description! =) Really great tool! Thank you so much!!!
Great Demo you did ! @David Ampong !

the best sampler !!
still a go-to,, so much packed into a tiny simple package, ,
Cool! Now we can have Ableton sampler in another DAW! Great plug-in!
Top little software sampler.

Powerful little beast , so it is. 🎹 👍
it's so amazing🔥

wow, this thing is even more powerful then I thought
Awesome I'm going to try this today
Very great video on this sampler...💯👍
Great video bought it it's awesome
excellent video, makes me wanna get it and make something rn
I slept on this cos I have samplers. But this has so much in one 🎉
Great sampler! I only wish it had build in granulator too.
Arturia Pigments does have granular synthesis and you can load your own samples up to 6
Really good!

You can modulate the playhead with the speed and offset rotary depending on current playback mode,...but can you modulate the sample markers and loop markers?
With Cosmos, is there a way to select multiple samples and drag and drop them all at once into another app? I can only do one at a time...
You should be able to simply import a folder into the app, no need to drag samples one by one.
Amazing 🔥
Can you trigger CR8 via an audio side chain input? Similar to slate trigger for playing drum sample one hits?
When you were finding that synth in cosmos, it sounded like you were playing the notes, are these just presets, not actual samples?
Great content, but the background tracks are very distracting. The sampler concept is a game changer for me, because it hides complex technologie behind a user friendly intiutive interface.
Is there a way to assign multiple outputs for multiple sounds?
No, still does a wonderful job for me though.
Are u able to link parameters to a controller? Adsr ,filter etc
Some are automatable yes, try a demo out and check it for yourself
I will get it when its available for the Ipad ..
super hot!!🔥🔥🙌🙏
