Is there a page anywhere that explains this stuff:
- What is Collective?
- What does "embedded" Master Mix mean? If it is a feature of Waveform and cannot be used outside of Waveform, why is it on this screen?
- What is "Imagina Loops" and what EXACTLY is the difference between 1 pack and 2 packs?
As a consumer, and someone that has spent quite a while assessing Tracktion products, it is very hard to make a decision when I'm looking at just titles without explanations.

Collective is the huge sampler instrument that comes with 600 presets and several gigs of content.- What is Collective?
Yes, it can only be used within Waveform. It's on this page because it used to be sold separately but now we embed it. It's still useful to know that Waveform comes with it.- What does "embedded" Master Mix mean? If it is a feature of Waveform and cannot be used outside of Waveform, why is it on this screen?
Imagina Loops are drum loop construction kits. There's a page dedicated to them here and the different packs: https://www.tracktion.com/products/imagina-loops- What is "Imagina Loops" and what EXACTLY is the difference between 1 pack and 2 packs?

Thank you, we are moving forward.
Collective
Is there a page where I can go read about the presets, several gigs of content, and listen to some examples?
Also, can I use Collective on other DAWs?
Imagina Loops
There's 3 packs of drum loops on that page, although they don't have any descriptions on the packs contents. Gigabytes is not useful. I've seen heavy packs of the same 10 or so samples cut at different speeds and saved in high-res wav files. So how many loops can we expect, and which packs come with Waveform at the different levels?

Just install the demo, if you're interested in collective. You can't get Waveform without it, so it's not like you're deciding whether to go with or without it.

I installed the W9 demo but I didn't know Collective was supposed to come with it. I see FM Synth, and Master Mix, but not Collective (also not the loops AFAIK).
I'm not just deciding on Waveform. I'm looking at the bundle from Tracktion to determine if there's also value in it for use in a different DAW. I have Studio One. I'm evaluating the Tracktion plugin set, and I'm wondering if I'll find Collective and the loops useful.

Did you download the bundle installer that's around ~260MB? That's the one that comes with Collective.
Once you open Waveform you'll see the download manager to install the content (~3GB).
Unfortunately, you need to purchase before getting the drum loops. There are some audio previews on the Imagine Loops web page though: https://www.tracktion.com/products/imagina-loops

I have the demo version that theoretically has everything on board but comes with the disturbing noise every few seconds.dRowAudio wrote:Collective is the huge sampler instrument that comes with 600 presets and several gigs of content.- What is Collective?
This demo has Collective aswel, but not with 600 presets or gigs of content.
I read that when I'd buy waveform, only the noise will be disabled.
So there's nothing else that changes from the demo and the whole version?

Open W9, click the Help button, click Check for updates. Click to download Collective Content. Install. Use in demo or full mode.bulevardi wrote:I have the demo version that theoretically has everything on board but comes with the disturbing noise every few seconds.dRowAudio wrote:Collective is the huge sampler instrument that comes with 600 presets and several gigs of content.- What is Collective?

I have every update downloade & installed. I cannot do more.
However, every time I open Collective, I get the white noise after a few seconds and from that moment, my sound is getting grainier with distortion and a few seconds later the sound is totally gone into silence.
When opening Collective again on the same track, the problem is still there.
Each time I start Collective on a blank track as a clear session, it works again clean from scratch, and suddenly starts to stutter and sound is gone... I never get the chance to twist the knobs of the synth to see if it's even working.
I'm wondering if this problem will still occur after I bought it... Any other users had the same problem? Before and after buying?
At the moment, Waveform freezed in my Linux Mint, cannot even close it. And in the top bar a notice says: "Waveform is in demo mode, click to start a 30 day trial or unlock with a licence."
(I sometimes get a popup in Waveform telling me to unlock to start the trial period or to full version.)
So I suppose I'm not even using the trial mode right now, but a demo mode that is even more limited. Is there a difference?
On the website I cannot find a way in my account to unlock for the 30 days trial.

Hmm, seems I have downloaded the demo already 2 months ago, and the trial is probably already over it's due date.
(grrr, I didn't find the time to test it as a lot of other tasks came in between... between the moment I downloaded and the moment I'm going to have more time right now)
I'll probably have to buy it then, the only way to test if it works or not.
