Waves Plugins
I've heard/read that Waves creates updates for their plugins on a regular basis that you need to buy for them to continue working. Is this true? I've been hesitant to buy anything from them due to this.
Thanks, -Adam |

Hahah yes they do.....
You get free updates for a year and then after that you have to WUP. Waves Update Plan been that way for years.... Think it was based around the concept used when ProTools was releasing a new version every year. New version of ProTools means Waves would have to go in and re-tool their code, thus the extra charge for the new version. No need to be afraid, and it's actually a really good time to buy stuff from them due to the sale they have going on Just got CLA 76 and CLA-2A cheap

Yes Waves updates would usually be good for a lot longer than a year
If you got in at 12.4 it would most likely take you all the way through a year and a half before you would be forced to upgrade the problem is depending on what operating system you are running, it may require you to upgrade based on other operating system type of changes PS proTools 12.4 was really solid for me if you had to get off the train, that was a good place.

Re: Waves Plugins
Ya, that's actually why I created the post. I've been thinking about buying that Nx Virtual Mix Room plug. I can't afford a pair of monitors and I'm working in an untreated room. I'm gonna try out the demo before the sale ends and see if it really does help with a headphone mix. The plugin comes with the "Head Tracker," which is $79 on it's own; the sale includes both for $99. I really hope that I can put the cash together before the sale ends tomorrow. Anyone ever use these or know someone that has? Wondering if they're worth it?

Re: Waves Plugins
Hey, Adam,
the Waves Nx Virtual Mixroom plug you can get for $43,89.- only from audiodeluxe now (need to register with them for the $5.- off but it´s worth it in the long run as they got really cool offers all time). If you don´t like to register with them (it´s free btw) you can get it for $49.- from Waves online store. Check it out. http://audiodeluxe.com/products/wave...rtual-mix-room If you should go to audiodeluxe.com check out this one as well. http://audiodeluxe.com/products/metric-halo-haloverb Great value for the money. For registered users $21.25 only!! Have a listen there. The Verb starts at 2:30. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=919LvjkdPe4 Even if I decided to miss out on this one initially just because I already have more reverb plugs I actually use I´m tempted to grab myself a copy of this little plug. Seriously nice sound for this price. Cheers. |

Actually, you get free updates while current version is supported (it is version 9 now). You don't need WUP for minor updates (bug fixes). In terms of updates, you will need WUP only when new version (10) will be released and only if you want to switch to this newer version. Otherwise you can go on using your older version (of course, only on hosts and systems that it supports). |

Updates are always free. WUP is for other uses like extra tech support or getting your hands on free plugins that have been added to any bundle you have purchased. The only time you need to worry about paying WUPfor an update is if they suddenly started releasing Version 10 plugins. Eleven then you can pay it after the fact, you actually aren't obliged to pay WUP annually. |
