Re: The free VI's/plugs list.
Hmmm... a clue! I will research that and see what happens. Thanks!
Since I hardly ever use Safari, it's easy to switch for the occasional site that needs it. This makes the need to troubleshoot Chrome less compelling but I do need to get it sussed and fixed.

No worries, Mike.
To be clear, Captcha's usually fine on other sites; it's just Plugin Boutique that requires the disabling for me.

Re: FREE WAVES CLA PLUGIN OFFER
So I got on in on this deal for CLA Echosphere, and the darn thing is giving me the totally white blank GUI in DP. Anybody else have this problem?Rick Cornish wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 10:25 am Hi gang.......
I received an email from Waves today offering a new, free CLA plug-in. It'll cost you an email address at the link below and will be available after Thanksgiving.

Re: FREE WAVES CLA PLUGIN OFFER
I'm in the process of migrating to Catalina and DP 10.1, so I won't be able to test it until next week. If no one else chimes in before I get to it, I'll let you know then what I see (or don't).James Steele wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 11:14 am So I got on in on this deal for CLA Echosphere, and the darn thing is giving me the totally white blank GUI in DP.

Re: FREE WAVES CLA PLUGIN OFFER
Been seeing a lot of complaints on this. Apparently this is a v12 plugin, and v12 is a paid upgrade. If that doesn't cover it, it could be an Apple metal graphics incompatibility, provided your machine is metal capable.funkyfreddy wrote: ↑Wed Dec 02, 2020 3:12 pmYes, I get the blank screen both in DP and Reason....James Steele wrote: ↑Tue Dec 01, 2020 11:14 am So I got on in on this deal for CLA Echosphere, and the darn thing is giving me the totally white blank GUI in DP.

Re: The free VI's/plugs list.
I got this when it was a free a while ago at V10. It works fine. I'm not sure it's fair to give Waves grief because they're giving away the same thing at V12.

Re: The free VI's/plugs list.
Everything these days seems to have to have the word 'epic' or 'trailer' in its description.
Anyhow, here are some free 'ambient trailer tools' which consist of a 'trailer piano' and some guitar ebow

Free Orchestra Libraries from OrchestraTools.com
https://www.orchestraltools.com/store/c ... ons/layers
Layers comes with the SINE player. Four basic libraries: Full Orchestra, Brass, Strings, Woodwinds. Each have multiple articulations and 4–5 mic placements. 18 files in all for 17GB.
After registration, you download the SINE Player, then the libraries from within SINE. Not quite intuitive but, by poking around, I figured it out. There's a video which no-doubt helps — haven't watched.
Anyway, for a quick orchestra bed, this sounds surprisingly good and the price is right. Of course, they want you to check out the paid libraries. I will, I will…
