Hardware still rules ..... 

Oui!  

After the Waves fiasco hit home yesterday, I boot up my Eventide Eclipse and started playing around with some of the amazing reverbs.  

Software is convenient though.

You have probably added the wrong bundle, so try this one:

That was it.  Thank you!

Everything shows $124.96 for me...

I updated with no issue.

How corporations IT departments buy is very different from how consumers buy, especially when it comes to subscriptions. 

Not sure I agree with that either.  How so?

Actually AVID did this in the last year or so, when then said no more new perpetual licenses or upgrades, then reversed that.

Wow.  Cool.   Hopeful Waves will do the same thing.

My guess is that Waves move to subscription only will be short lived, and hopefully,  before our plugins stop working,  they'll switch back to subscription and perpetual licenses.  

Non concur. In my almost 30 years as an IT professional, I have yet to see one company move to exclusive subscriptions, then move back to offer perpetual licenses.

I have to say, as of today,  I love my Waves plugins. Great quailty, all of them. Outstanding sound from all of them. License systems works well. Are there some things I don't like about Waves plugins? Yep, sure is. But none of them are a show stopper. 

If they still sell perpetual licenses after the 26th,  I will still probably buy more of them.

However, if it's sub only, I am outta here. 

 

This is me exactly.  I'm not really a Waves apologist, but I like the plugins, the price, and WUP doesn't really bother me.  I've only "Wupped" one time, after having several versions of Waves over the past years.  I've been able to get some great plugins and bundles at great prices by slowly upgrading bundles.  

We are only "assuming" they are going sub only - what we know for sure is that resellers will not be able to sell them anymore.   Waves may continue to do so (and I hope they do).  But, like others, if they go sub only, I will not subscribe.  

The only silver lining to me if they go sub only is that all those that have said "WUP is a subscription" will have to admit it wasn't.  😝

Great, yet another chess game to show me how terrible a player I actually am.

That said, I guess the best use for Unify in my workflow must be the way it works with Spitfire’s BBCSO. Sheer magic.

Can you explain a bit what that means?

Except the small developers.  No complaints as a plugin consumer, but I feel for guys trying to make a go of it developing their own stuff.

This was my initial reaction as well.  But they have given us plenty of warning and time to tidy up out licenses.  With a huge user base and a lot of software licenses out there, this is no small undertaking.  I just hope they are making a change to something better thought out than WUP...

You are more correct - it benefits the consumers.

I like Waves as well and the WUP doesn't bother me.  I live in the world of IT, where maintenance cost are a daily thing for me.   My biggest issue with WUP is that they provide very little in return for what you pay.  I've only ever paid WUP one time.

@PavlovsCat has mentioned a few times that one thing that Waves has done is drive prices down across the industry, which benefits everyone.  There are plenty of options out there for sure.

Is there a prize?

Nope. Just got a free All Access Pass.

One of the requirements is a purchase.

Thanks...that's actually what I see except in place of Download Now it says Browse Videos. Guess I have to purchase something using my All Access Pass in order to qualify for some of the perks?

You've never actually purchased anything.

So after successfully dodging buying Kontakt Full for years so I wouldn't buy a million libraries (and SSDs), I had to cave because someone on KVR was selling Kontakt 7 for ridiculously cheap.

With easter coming up and already looking at summer deals or even BF, what deals for Kontakt libraries do I need to look out for? What are some of your favourite libraries? Must-haves? Secret weapons? I've seen the Sampletekk and Alex Pfeffer deals, but there's probably a ton of similar stuff I'm unaware of.

Congratulations BTW.  Kontakt is one of the most used VSTs on the planet -  its certainly my most used.  Quite honestly, as an application is really stinks, but it really does open up a brand new world.

Any favorites?  I've never really look at his instruments.

I love the Ethera series.  Quite a bit of value there.
