Tbf I am the same with samples.
No way do I need 90 different hihats.
I can’t remember which thread I originally brought this up in, but I have found an article on why the new MacOS won’t allow certain plugins to be used by your DAW.
There is a workaround, but I don’t quite get how to do it.
Edit.
Apparently I can remove the quarantine on the vst folder which will allow all the vsts inside it through the security block by using the command line
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/*.vst
Is that recommended, or don’t fuck with this shit?
That command will recursively remove the apple quarantine attribute from any file with the .vst suffix in the /Lbrary/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/ directory. Seems pretty safe to me.
I’ve mostly used a friend’s sample packs lately, he got tons of synths and drum machines, a drumset too, among various instruments and perc. The hihats sample folder is a bit fucked tho because he didn’t cut them correctly, so they pop in the end. Lots of good samples anyways, I’ll ask him if I can share some of them here if you want.
Fingers crossed this works
Listening through the Christmas jams me and previously mentioned friend had, some crazy shit going on.
Edit haha “it’s a song!” in the end of the first jam. Me on drums.
Did it work?
in one tune
I been doing this recently and it makes my snares and claps way nicer
Reading the description of “cinematic” sample packs is a trip in it self:
"…inspires an authentic MLG audio production experience. "
“…You’ll discover soundscapes, anxiety-filled hits, impacts, attention grabbers,
spine-chilling suspense elements, scare cues, designed string section risers,
infinite risers, Shepard tones, transitions, whooshes, drones, atmospheres,
signals to help you create compelling mind-bending tension, high emotion
promos, trailers, game scenes, and unnerving audio experiences.”
Thats a lot of drama
take my reese to the spirit plane
You need to put sudo in front of that command. It will then ask you to enter your credentials.
sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3
Like so?
Yes.
You likely need to run that command as a super user or root which is what sudo is for.
Tried that and I get a password prompt with a key icon, but I can’t type anything…
Usually it won’t display the password. Just type your password in.
PM’d ya
bro you should learn terminal basics
