Popcorn time. User reaction to the announcement over at the Waves forum...

Wow - that forum read is a party!  Everyone venting directly on Waves’ own forum.  A lot of mad customers!

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

Antares went full subscription. Now they offer perpetual and subscription (at least for some products).

Bummer overall.  I'll just sit and continue to use what I have.  When they stop working I'll stop using them, alternatives to many also in hand or available with perpetual liceneses.

Back on topic, the PSP InfiniStrip is really quite a nice tool to have ready to use on a song.

$58 at JRR if adding code GROUP.

Even so, can’t say it’s that interesting.

I use this on every song. 

I thought producing music in a home studio is lonely.

Playing chess against a machine instead of enjoying chats with your chess partner seems even more solitary.

I was able to get Mercury and actually all their bundles from EveryPlugin at an incredibly low price. I’m sure Waves will not have that steep level of discount available.  It was a nice run with EveryPlugin’s support!

Installed!

I only have DeEss to go to own them all.

 

Me too

Bapu installed it in the late 70s.

I have a couple of the above. Thanks for pointing this out!

On fast path to being a niche player

For the steam punk UI alone I want these!

Now PA is flooding Plug-in Boutique as well!

@Vernon Barnes  much appreciated!

Interesting. I must not be the only one who inquired. I had a dialog with them about where’s the drag and drop.  They must have heard that a lot.

Percussion Factory now in my sights!

Thanks Zo!

Thanks for posting. Nice find!

I agree with EZDrummer 3.

Specific to “game changer” I would add Maschine to this list.  You can do stuff in Maschine mere mortal DAWs cannot, or not conveniently.  By using Maschine in a DAW superpowers are at your command.

This refers  to the Maschine software. Of course with the hardware that’s even more powerful.  The hardware is not needed for the general capability.

As far as a quick win on a plug-in buy, PSP’s InfiniStrip is pretty great.

I think if you use Band in a Box with its suggested styles it can easily get you very far and very fast in creating a song.

I use it, but of the suggested tracks and audio that results when I put a part together I may only use one or two tracks from the whole collection of tracks brought up by Band in a Box.  I can easily add my own playing or other tools to assemble fresh sounding other tracks in the DAW.

Did you even start your stop watch?  I was wondering if you’ve gotten down to less than three seconds yet.

Agreed the above synths are “key” (pardon the pun!).  
 

But with this pack or others within EZ Keys you can kind of hear how the various playable key patterns will sound as a preview in a genre related sound.

You can then drag the midi into your song and apply whatever instrument and preset you want. Or even keep the EZ Keys patch if it has the right sound for the song.

Also installing now!

Yep I see the $5 price now as well.
