You like Waves therefore everybody who doesn't is stupid? Fair point.

No, not at all.

But when people just continually speak shit about something, especially when they freely admit themselves to only having a few months experience with Waves, and only owning 2 plugins, it tends to get a bit much.

Like when old bitflipper use to jump in every Waves thread on the old forums to push his agenda (we have another one in this thread)

It would be better if they just came out and said, 'I have no real reason, but I'm here to jump on the Waves hate wagon, and push my agenda'

You need to learn how it works with Waves plugins, as you obviously haven't got a clue.

doesn't change the fact that it's true.

enjoying their waves plugins ? guilty as charged.

You are most welcome Sir,

and thank you for your much valued words of appreciation.💋

Me too. And really  like their plugins.

Yeah me to, zero issues, great plugins. Personally it's brain dead easy, and those who have issues must be, well brain dead, I can't see how it could be easier.

And as for WUP, what's the issue?, you don't need it, ever. Waves plugs rarely have an issue that needs fixing outside 12 months in my experience, rarely ever inside 12 months, if you don't want to WUP don't, if you do, go for it, sometimes you'll get an extra plug or 2 for your troubles. Even if you don't WUP, your plugins will still get the updates, it's just the major jumps you wont get, ie 10 - 11

As for the single computer only? for phucks sake, ever heard of a USB Flash drive? install your licenses on that, then install your plugins on as many computers as you like, just plug in your flash drive to the relevant PC, in that sense not much different to a lot of vendors EULA, old Cakewalk/SONAR included [edit] and it seems CbB, see below[/edit], install on x amount of machines, but only use 1 at a time.

I bought this for $95.27 back in late 2016 (just looked up my emails), messed around with it for a while, never used it again until early 2020, messed around with it for a while again, then sold it. I can understand why people might like it, then again I can understand why people might not. It's certainly not for everyone.

Just to far out there for me, give me something more like a 'normal' reverb that I'll actually use any day, IK's Sunset Sound, Re-Matrix, R2, Nimbus, Valhalla(any), Waves(any), etc.

Have not heard or read about that. Where did you know about it? Is it a workaround for the installation process or the way Product Manager is working? Thx

Have a read of the link in the OP.

I think the problems hit those whose Windows 10 is up to date with the latest?

I've never had to turn off AV, not that I run or have any installed apart from whatever the built in one is called, and I think I have that disabled.

I have stayed back on 1903, maybe that is why I have no issues with the Product Manager.

Thanks for the heads up, I just run the Product Manager to update to 4.1.3, downloaded and installed fine, fired ST up to check the version, all good here.

@Cat SchrodingerSooooo, until somebody opens the box, you order is both successful and unsuccessful then.

@Tezza Yeah it looks like it is the real deal, when I follow the link it says that for me its a$327.29AU saving, I don't think  Elements would be $380AU, also it comes with Melodyne whatever.

Excellent bargain, no good to me, I already own the top tier of everything Izotope.

No, only as the qualifying (first purchase) product I believe.

I'm tearing up now, I will be thinking of you Kenny.

All the best

Hi - I downloaded the trial but unfortunately both Vst2 and 3 versions crash my PC - I'm on Windows 10

Anyone else had any issues?

Working for me however I noticed it is very disturbing CPU so without huge buffer I was unable to run it without crack/pops etc.

No crashing issues here, and no high CPU use to speak of, somewhat lower CPU than IK's Sunset Sound Studio Reverb which never really bothered me.

I don't use CbB though, this is on Studio One 5 v5.0.1, and not up to date Windows 10, v1903, using buffer size of 128

It seems ok, done everything so far it has been asked, updated Modo Bass to the latest, updated ST4(SE) to the latest. The test will come when I purchase ST4 MAX from the group buy, see if it comes through without nixing my ST4 SE installation or my ST3 + almost everything ST installation.

The only thing is I wish I had 'Browser' like control of the downloads, but doesn't really matter.

So far so good for me 👍👍👍

Everyplugin puts the upgrade to Studio from ANY Editor version at $264.90

hmmm, I think I might boot to my Acronis TI disc and back up my System and Sound drives, and then poke this bear with a stick 🐻🤺

Oh well, some good, some not so good, 2 ways to go, just have to jump in and see how goes it, or wait for first update . . . hmmm

Man now I got to go through and read the whole thread, one bad thing about being asleep when you all are awake. Hope it's good news, as it certainly has potential to be.

With RedWirez, with the BIG Box (not available as such anymore, all separate for the latest release) they supplied EQ curves from 1073 and impedance curves from various speakers etc to load with your Cab IR, you can use Reverbs etc, mix it all around to your liking and export a single IR to use later or elsewhere. The EQ IR's/curves can give you some very nice results in certain occasions, as do the impedance IR's/curves (they have dropped the impedance stuff in the latest releases) For the new stuff they have Neve and API EQ packs available which again can yield nice results in certain instances.

Basically if they are compatible you can go to town with IR's made of whatever.
