this affects only if ENGINE multiprocessor is turned on on mac.

This can happen on PC as well. Happened to me more than once.

Engine is unfortunately still ways till it catches up with stability and performance of others.

The only problem I have is with the reverb.

It pops and crackles REALLY badly.
But I usually prefer my own reverbs anyway, so I just turn it off.

But I've never had it pop, click, stutter, freeze, spike or crash on me yet.

So at least it can be said that the bugs are not universal.

I'm on a Win7 x64 PC using Brainspawn forte as a host, FWIW.

Question, independence free is now replaced by engine right ?

Do we have still the possibility to use a version of FX instance of independence free ?

...or is it my only fantasy that make me think it had once upon the time, exist ?

There's still an FX version of Independence. Not sure about Free, but Pro, yes.

I'm on Windows (Win7 64-bit) and was looking at both Desert Winds and Forest Kingdom, to compliment Alchemy. Minor rare/random glitches in realtime playback will be annoying but as long as a final non-realtime render from my host (Tracktion 4) is clean, I'll deal with it to get the sounds I want.

I didn't know about the free versions, just looked 'em up - going to get them today and try it out tonight - thanks for mentioning it!

and don't forget try-sound.com either woolyoach

that's how i tested the sounds before i chose the libraries i wanted.

but yes you need the real but limited demos to see how engine itself works on your system

Oh, the try sound gives you ALL the presets, the entire instrument to audition. It's slow, but it does work!

Didn't know about try-sound.. will check it out - thanks!

Not had any problems with Engine2 so far, and there are some wonderful libraries for it.

No, Yellow Tools got taken over by Magix, so the Independence sampler, and the Independence Free version is still alive:

FWIW, I installed ENGINE2 and the 3 free libraries and everything works great with Tractiion 4!

Great sounds.. saving up for Forest Kingdom first!

I'll be saving for a while, but I'll definitely wait for a two-for-one deal!! Thanks for telling me!

ENGINE 2, opinions?
