Powerful sound design made easy
Whether you want to make your own custom drum kits, multi-layered pads, impactful sound effects, or any other sound you can imagine, Waves CR8 Creative Sampler has the tools you need. CR8 Creative Sampler gives you the editing capabilities you need to fine-tune your samples, including automatic Root Key and bpm detection to keep you in tune and in sync with your project. And with five stretching algorithms — Voice, Beats, Melodic, Harmonic, and Classic — you can drastically stretch any source audio while retaining its core character.


Polish and shape individual samples and groups
Beyond sample editing and modulation, CR8 Creative Sampler offers individual filter cutoff, resonance, and drive for each individual sample. In addition, up to four assignable group filters can be used to further color groups of samples. Producers at Sweetwater find that this multi-layered approach to sound shaping leads to more cohesive sonic creations, and can make even the most contrasting samples sound like they belong together.
