It's sort of weird because they mention that you'll have plugins up to the version when they launched the subscriptions so it seemed like it was over, with a Waves Update Plan or not.

But I just got an e-mail from them that also says:

What about plugin updates? 

Waves Creative Access keeps all your plugins updated, always. You will get all updates for the plugins in your subscription, at no extra cost: no need for the Waves Update Plan. However, If you still have a valid Waves Update Plan, you will continue to enjoy all its benefits until it expires.

So maybe there's hope for a V15 update on plugins with a current WUP?

Yeah, I had hoped to at least get updates to V15 when that does come out on plugins with WUP.

For me as of today, this is not painful in the least.I am WUP'd until 25, Jan 2025 so I have 22 months to decide if I freeze where I am of sub up.

Unless I'm missing something, how will WUP help in this case? I'm regretting my WUPping because they specifically mention we won't be getting new versions of the plugins past V14 (and it's always been that we get updates within the same version number whether we're WUPped or not.

This text seems to mean the time remaining on the Waves Update Plan is... useless?

Though maybe I missed something.

For me, the worst part about this whole thing is I had been working on a video about how I actually like the WUP now (no joke - I have my reasons lol!) but I was too slow to make it and now it's gone.

The Web site does still have the Register New Products page working if any of you need to register some licenses before it's too late.

I was just on Audio Deluxe and the only Waves product was Musicians 2 bundle for $9.97.

Great bundle, though!

Waves stuff seems to be gone from everyplugin.com, too.

It's happening... 🤣

The account-related pages (My Products / Upgrades / Waves Update Plan, etc.) on the Waves site currently showing:

"Waves.com is undergoing maintenance. To access your Waves account or purchase Waves products at our online store, please try again later."

Maybe unrelated to the upcoming changes but I've never seen that message before.

Ah, bummer! The original message didn't have an expiration other than "the month" but yes, I found an email saying that they expired on the 24th.

That was generous of you to offer though! 

Don't forget to check if you have any points at https://www.reasonstudios.com/rewards 

I was surprised, when I checked a while back, to see how many I had gotten over the years.

It's great when there are rack extensions on sale like this.

But I agree with you regarding their targeting of loyalty offers

I'm not complaining. There was a great offer for Ozone Advanced in my Izotope account at one point, but it was for people upgrading from an earlier Advanced version. I only had Ozone Elements. I asked them if it would work and they replied quickly saaying they sometimes send more generous offers to some clients and if it's in my account, the Advanced upgrade will work. And it did!

I like playing around with this plugin. Most of the mics I have aren't on the list (and I wish they'd add more) but I find it interesting as an effect by choosing random-ish mics and switching out the sound. If I didn't have it in T-RackS Max, I'd buy it at this price.

If it's the same as in the past, there's a minimum spend on the coupon which they only tell you when you receive it. I learned that the hard way when I was hoping to get Frostpoint by Frozen Plain for free! hahaha

I got Needlepoint for $19.99 a few days ago like a sucker!

You're cheating on us?

That's the fastest I've ever seen the FileSilo server loading!

I just want it so I can tell my dad I have a plugin that matches his DeWalt tools.

Thanks to everyone who posted their recommendations on which of these are good deals and interesting. That's why I love this place. I appreciate you all!

Not everyone owns Komplete, so Massive might be new for them!

🙋‍♂️

As well, logging into your Izotope account will have upgrade prices. It's not too bad. Mine is $149 Standard / $499 Advanced.

I still remember they doubled the upgrade price a year or so ago. gets ya. 

Yeah, I was a sucker and bought it because 1) the price was going up and 2) future M1 native version.

They dropped the price twice so far to wayyyy below what I paid and they keep pushing the M1 version back.

So yeah, I fell for it lol

Do the expansions work with Reason Lite? Or do you need the full Reason for that?

As far as I know, the Rack Extensions work on all of the versions. Some will only work with the most recent version (ie. 12) but you should be OK. Maybe worth checking with Reason Studios before though to make sure you don't use your points for nothing.

Some great deals this time around.

And remember to check https://www.reasonstudios.com/rewards - I realized a while back I had tons of points I didn't know I had.

Was waiting for a deal on the new Vocoder and it's on sale now.

It doesn't work for me, when using the coupon it tells me "You have not reached the minimum amount required to use this coupon"

Same.

I guess they changed it so you can't use it for an order under $25. Though if you add three licenses, it'll take $25 off and it'll cost you about 5 bucks. So I guess there's that lol
