Re: The Waves Renaissance Plugins
Still you usually do not have to WUP :) And still it is capped to $300 in any case.

Re: The Waves Renaissance Plugins
You need to select the checkbox saying "I will use plugins on one machine at a time" or something. Then it is capped to $300

Many devs offer you discounts, but they do charge an "upgrade fee" to go up the next version My upgrade fee for RX is $400!! Right now SPL want about $70 or so from me to upgrade the Micros. I remember the Transient Designer and RockRack were over $50 each. I'm pretty sure. Fabfilter charges like $100-150 for theirs. That's insane though. Just 2-3 of their plugins and you are effectively paying the WUP upgrade fee for all your Waves plugins. Maybe it's 20, maybe it's 50 plugins, it's different for everyone, but you'll get that upgrade for around $300 or so. Now think about it for a second. What would happen if Waves were to drop their WUP model and make you pay $50-150 upgrade fee for every plugin!!! An update would cost in the thousands for many of us!! To be honest, I'm glad they're just charging what they do with WUP... And you only need to pay it if there is an upgrade. For extra value free plugins are added to bundles all the time, but only with WUP of course. So the thing I advise people is to wait until they see a major upgrade, like Version 10 or until they have added enough plugins to their bundle to justify the $300. Until then just keep updating for free. |

Re: The Waves Renaissance Plugins
Umm... you're glad for paying Waves 300 a year but same time people are complaining about 99 a year PT support plan. I think there's a discrepancy, but maybe it's just you being a good Waves customer :)

So myself being a Mercury + Studio Classics + Abbey Road customer this WUP isn't what it was supposed to be. Not to mention I bought that stuff TDM prices which were double compared to current offering. I still can't get over it when they back in the day promised to support "every major platform" and then not provide AAX-DSP versions of their plugins. They ate their words so I keep my wallet shut.

But you don't have to be paying that $300 a year, it's only a good idea to pay it when you are getting at least $300 of new plugins back out of it. You could go for years without ever having to pay for it. And while they did change what their "everything" bundle was, you don't have to upgrade. If you do however, you wouldn't have to pay WUP on it initially. Again it could be few years before you need it. So in this case it's like my first statement, youre paying something extra and getting the plugins for it. It's a bit of a win really. |

Re: The Waves Renaissance Plugins
I use this a lot for sidechaining things, although the Fab Filter Pro MB has pretty much taken over for my kick and bass sidechaining since it allows me to target only certain frequencies. But I still use RComp as my main SC for ducking delays and reverbs to vocals.

EDIT: Actually just looked at my bundle. Looks like there was about 4 or 5 plugins added. Not sure I would ever use them though!

Re: The Waves Renaissance Plugins
Haha! Would be totally valid if WUP was a subscription, which is not the case. So many people think it is and get pissed off about it. I believe I did not WUP anything since buying it. Just was no reason to do it so far.
