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.

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.

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?

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).

Yes, I get the blank screen both in DP and Reason....

It's a piece of garbage IMHO. Throwing users broken BS as freebies.... Shame on you Waves.....

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.

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.

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

Thanks, James.

Also found their new license manager which updated my older Arturia libraries.

Free Orchestra Libraries from OrchestraTools.com

Post by mikehalloran »

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.
Specifications
Works with Orchestral Tools' SINE Player
17GB of samples (10GB SINEarc compressed)
24Bit / 48KHz Patches
System Requirements SINE:
Mac OS 10.13, i5, 4GB RAM (16GB+ recommended)
Windows 10, Intel Core i5 or similar (Windows 7 is not officially supported)
Interfaces: VST, AU
This is the vendor for Berlin Strings and many others.

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…

Pendulate from Newfangled Audio through Eventide — Free (again?)

Post by mikehalloran »

It's been awhile since I've seen a freebie announcement from Eventide.

https://www.eventideaudio.com/promo/pendulate

Of course, you sign up for the newsletter to get it.

I think we've seen this before. I had 1.02 installed—this is v. 1.21
