They should have at least sent out a notice for owners to make their own decisions to get 1 last update plan, get current, and go subscription next year.

My WUP lapsed in November. I was waiting for a sale on WUP or an upgrade for my Horizon / misc plugs. Instead I will be shopping for other options, as a large part of their catalog is legacy plugs and barely worth an update. Stupid move on the part of Waves.

Wave is nuts.

I own 20 plugins which are still V9. They never announced that soon it will not be possible to update them anymore.
Only a mail on the day they cancelled the upgrade possibilites.

If I were a lawyer and bored, I had a new hobby now.

I have to wonder if this is the sign of a company that is in economic distress. Maybe on the verge of going down?

I think this move is an effort to try to ensure a stable consistent income that they can rely on, rather than the likely dribs and drabs that would be coming in all over the place previously.

It would be similar to a company raising prices on all of their items considerably, because if they don’t, they are going to tank.

This seems like a desperate move to me.

It’s a crapshoot as to whether or not it will actually work. I wouldn’t be buying stock in this company, that’s for sure.

On the verge? I sound like a broken record already but the day they stopped supporting digidesign/avid dsp platform was the beginning of the end. And that was 2011.

You don't say? I am so envious to my buddy Chris (southsidemusic) who has every outboard and mic you can drool at. With his credit card I would also not be using much plugins.

But true, I have been slimming down the list of plugins I even install. There are some that are identical to the box (such as TC.Electronic stuff.. connected to S6000 via AES, digital is digital. plugin is identical) and some that emulate the real thing very poorly. I am talking about harmonic distortion here. I actually have a SPL Charisma8 platform with 4 pairs of different tubes installed for different characteristics available. No plugin can reach that.

There are only 12 plugin companies now on my A-list, the rest I don't care.

Bye waves!

I only use a couple of their plugins. Unfortunately one was their pitch/time stretch plugin which was pretty good alternative to Pitch N Time for those of us on Apple Silicon.

No effin' way would I spend $150 a year just to use a couple plugins. And I sure as **** DO NOT WANT 110 plugins that I will never use.

Sorry waves, but going forward you'll get no subscription nor a-la-carte nor WUP payments from me ever again.

I almost purchased WUP the other day and didn't check out.

I'm Mercury and Abbey Road.

Does anyone know of good replacements for Dorrough (simple Phase Correlation with a simple interface) and WLM?

I also like the Linear Phase Eq, but there are probably some better ones on the market.

I have iZotope Insight 2, but it's not M1 yet.
