I kinda feel like we're being pinished for not buying directly from Waves. It's quite reasonable for those of us who purchased through a third-party reseller to have to wait longer to receive our 'free' plugins as the info travels to Waves. But more than a week? It's also a bit deceitful to advertise that we'll get our plugins after the sale is over, show us a giant clock ticking-down (with secods accuracy) and then, at the last minute, restart the clock and delay delivery. Twice! If Waves wants to extend the sale, fine. But they could also have allowed us to pick our freebies in the meantime. Some of us, myself included, purchased plugins with the intention of -- I know this is going to some crazy -- actually using them. 😒

Their website is like The Hotel California: You can check-out any time you like ... But you can never leave!

Also in this issue is the AudioRealism ADM 606 Drum Machine.

Well, that's for the best; we wouldn't want you skipping meals and going around light-headed. 😉

Does that mean you got it too?

I told them what a great guy you are...

I just did. Thanks for the encouragement. 😀

That's what so strange about it ... I never bought anything from Arturia. The only thing I have from them is Rev PLATE-140 (that I got for free).

No code ...could this be a mistake?

Here's a screenshot of my cart...

How much was Pigments 2 during the 50% off sale? I'm not sure if the base price is $99 or $199. Pigments is currently $69 on Arturia's website, and I'm not sure if that's a worse deal than 50% off $99 or a better deal than 50% off $199.

Were you able to use any coupon codes at PluginDiscounts? I tried all the standard ones, but none worked.

Judging from the valute cited on PB's site (£103.94), the freebie they're offering is the full product, not the demo. If true, it would be the best of the bunch (IMO).

Thoughts?

Fagen and Becker would be proud!

I guess Steven Slate doesn't like me. 🙁

Same experience here. I go to ST4 to find a sound, fight the browser for five minutes, and then give up and go to Omnisphere, Kontakt, Halion, etc. to get the job done. It really took them 10 years to make this thing?!? LOL

How long does it take to receive an email code?

The second code (just received) appears to be the same deal as the first code.

Right -- exploit our GAS!

Okay, I think I get it now ... this may be the first plugin in a new CLA series. He drops a hint to that effect at the end of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WutbdnbmMEo

Me too ... I'm going to give it a test drive.

Yes, I agree with everything you said, particularly about copying his setup to our DAWs. It took me just five minutes to do that in Cubase, and it works great! But that's what's so strange about EchoSphere (to me); it doesn't really provide new mixing functionality or simplify a complex setup (like CLA's). In fact, one could argue that it's not even as versatile as CLA Effects. By comparison, EchoSphere is like a step backwards, and so I'm surprised that it was associated with CLA and Mixing with Depth. But hey, I'm with you, I think it sounds good and certainly will give it a try in my mixes. Cheers...

Boy, talk about anticlimactic! His Mixing with Depth videos described complex combinations of nearly a dozen delay/reverb processors. CLA EchoSphere, in contrast, comprises just slap and plate. I'm curious how CLA/Waves will spin this plugin vis-a-vis his course. In it he implies that we'd be able to reproduce (the semblance of) his setup. Then again, it's always nice to receive a freebie! 😁

Have you ever tried FabFilter Timeless 2? It's a bit different from the rest. I don't use it often, but it's good when a 'regular' delay doesn't cut it. Also, if you have Cubase 10.5 and later, don't forget about MultiTap Delay. It also has some good presets. I'm just starting to use it myself. Cheers!
