Re: Waves Mercury Bundle and Neve plug-ins!
Quote:
There's no info on the Waves site yet, but at the Gearslutz link, there was a link to a Sonic State page with some info, and a link to a fairly lengthy video talking about the Mercury bundle and the new plug-ins. Check it out here: http://www.sonicstate.com/news/shown...m?newsid=3552# It's actually kind of cute to listen to them dance around deliberately not saying the word "Neve." Regarding other things we know for sure, these new "V" plug-ins are only available as part of the New Mercury bundle which costs $12,500.00. It seems that that price tag has induced a number of sticker-shock heart attacks. I would imagine that there will be an upgrade path for currently WUP-ed Diamond Bundle owners that might put some people who aren't extravagantly wealthy at least within striking distance. Based on the difference in list price, I'd guestimate that an upgrade to Mercury from Diamond would be on the order of $4,000.00 to $5,000.00. Deals can be wrangled from certain dealers on Waves stuff, so I predict the best-case scenario from a generous dealer would be in the high three thousands (I'm basing this conjecture on my experience as a Waves customer since the mid-eighties). I'd also predict that somewhere down the line (maybe a year or so from now), the "V" plug-ins will be available separately from the Mercury bundle. Waves bashing aside, I think some slack should be cut and people should have a small window to voice surprise and incredulity at a $12,500.00 plug-in bundle, shouldn't they? If not, maybe we need two Pro Tools forums -- an upstairs/downstairs, rich man's/poor man's version. Lee Blaske |

Waves has given us the green light to talk openly in public forums about the new Neve bundle and the other new plug-in. So let us refrain from telling others what NDA stands for and whether they are in fact following it. Most people who have signed one know what it means. MS |

I assume you mean mid 90's? That's when Q10 first came out, followed by L1, C1 and S1. Ah .. those were the days. Not many plugin to choose from then!

Re: Waves Mercury Bundle and Neve plug-ins!
Yeah! I believe it was around 1991 I first saw the Q10 or L1 or both being used with Sound Tools.

Re: Waves Mercury Bundle and Neve plug-ins!
Could perhaps any Waves beta testers or anyone in the know list the additional plugs available in Mercury from the Diamond Bundle. I read Waves is including the "Neve/Vintage" plugs as well as their amp modeling plugGTR. BTW how is GTR?
Any others included in Mercury? |

One would wonder how long the terms of UA's license of the Neve name extend. I would think that Neve wasn't happy that UA discontinued TDM support. It would be to Neve's benefit to have their name in front of high end DAW users on the screens of PT users. If UA's license doesn't extend forever, perhaps the Waves "V" plug-ins will someday become the Waves Neve plug-ins. Waves must certainly have pockets deep enough to pay the freight (certainly deeper than UA). All conjecture. Time will tell. Lee Blaske |

Re: Waves Mercury Bundle and Neve plug-ins!
The real bummer is if (as rumoured) Waves only exclusively distributes these "Neve" plugins with some bundle. I'm going to get really angry if they don't sell their new stuff individually. Their price list is already bad, and something like this would only make it worse.
I hope this is only rumor.
