Re: Waves is giving away the Gold Bundle!

Totally. I purchased the Waves SSL bundle on sale years ago... even on sale, it was twice the price of what Waves is now offering the entire studio classic collection! I'm really not sure what is going on at Waves. Perhaps the sales and impulse buys translate into significantly more revenue through WUP and upgrades? In any case, some of the bundles they are selling today are still useful... and pretty appropriately priced! Just tools and all that jazz.

Re: Waves is giving away the Gold Bundle!
I'd imagine the low price point helps to curb piracy, and it essentially kneecaps the secondary market, so anyone buying a Waves plugin is almost surely getting it from Waves directly, or a authorized reseller. Add to that the impulse buying and the revenue from WUP, and they probably break even over a long enough timeline.

Re: Waves is giving away the Gold Bundle!
Reselling plugins has pretty much become a thing of the past.
Between subscription plans, Waves practically giving them away, and UAD forcing you to sell all or nothing, you have to just buy what you know you will use and just forget about the money spent.

Waves is giving away the Gold Bundle!
I just start using Waves SoundGrid networking system and wow, It really rocks! The price I paid for updating my mercury after years was covered for the great system they had up with. Only speaking of I/O’s it rocks. And is free. You can buy their interfaces or the bridges that use digilink to pass (bridge Protools) or connect your ASIO or CORE driver and you will start thinking again about their plugs because it uses servers also as a great dsp system to share in your building. So this sale got me thinking if their low cost bundles start to make sense to have them In different systems in my studio.

Waves is giving away the Gold Bundle!

Hahah - I got Gold for a song years ago from a person to person transfer....always looked at upgrading but Horizon was the only one worth having. Diamond didn’t do anything for me. I still have a few waves plugs that I use all the time... The pultec’s for example and Ren Bass !!! I love The rest of my waves collection gathers virtual dust, b/c who can sell a used plug when all the new ones are $29. It’s probably cheaper to buy new than to upgrade these days For some one starting out or deep into the soundgrid hardware——it’s a really insane deal.

Re: Waves is giving away the Gold Bundle!
And today Mercury is $1999, insane price. This was almost $10,000 at one point and included much less. Use a 10% off code and get it for $1800. Not a bad price if you like Waves plugins.
