I was expecting free, so I'm not cool with $29 yet.

Same. Been using it since version 1 the week (day?) they launched. They said we'd get free access to future Captain Plugins, but I'm assuming now that meant the different versions (melody, chords, deep) and I keep trying to convince myself we had a good run because it's the first time they've ever charged for an upgrade after all of these years. Still, I can't get myself to press the order button yet.

Edit: Oh I see now your situation is different - you should definitely be getting it for free according to that screenshot. You're lucky you saved that! Their support is usually awesome, I'm sure they'll sort it out.

Wow Insomnia for Lounge Lizard was included! Awesome! Thanks!

I didn't spend that much and got to the $50 tier.  I liked the $25 tier better. 

Lately they've been doing a generic $25 voucher (everyone gets the same code). Wondering if you could use that instead of your account-specific $50 one if there's something you want to get with it.

Put it in your cart.  I show the same thing, but then there is a discount automatically applied. Unfortunately, I can then not add any Jam points. 

Ah you are da man!!!! Tried it adding the Crossgrade and it works. Thanks! Yeah, I thought maybe the Upgrade version (which is still greyed out) would let me use Jam Points but still, we're ahead of where we were last night haha.

Hey @Peter - IK Multimedia do you have any updates on the MAX $149.99 Upgrade not being available even though we have the Syntronik Deluxe from the GB?

When trying to choose it, it's grayed out and it says no qualifying products in the account - that only those with products on the list are eligible (but that item is on the list).

Wow, thanks for this!

only one drawback  on those, Dmitry does not update them😞(about updating such plugins there is a great example with Zebra CM) 

That was my concern too, but it looks like it was updated in September (from the Changelog on.the PA site). And on Dmitry's website directly, it mentions Thorn updated "Apple Silicon architecture support for Mac" - it looks like it's M1 compatible so has been updated pretty recently.

I love how you can do just about everything on one screen (well, almost). For $15 it was worth it. Looking forward to giving it a try and hopefully start making YouTube videos about it tomorrow.

So we have a month to finish picking our freebies, right? Pretty sure that's what's been said a few times but want to confirm now that the GB is over.

Edit: Ok nevermind, found the details...

PA trying to make me spend my survey voucher less than 24 hours after I got it!

I really love the AT5 UI and ecosystem. It, for me, is the perfect balance between ease of use and the ability to go down the rabbit hole.  I didn’t bother with AT4 because of its UI, and I had better sounding resources already.  But I won’t revert back mainly on principle and available workarounds like freezing tracks or using an outside IR loader, which defeats the purpose of the feature and the ecosystem.  I’ve filed a support ticket a couple of times.   I have plenty of amp sims that can do the job if AT5 can’t.  But I really hope this gets sorted out. 

Yeah I hear ya, I couldn't go back to AT4. I love how AT5 is set up. But just to clarify, the version I went back to was an earlier version of AT5 (I'm pretty sure it was 5.0.3) because 5.1 wasn't usable for me. So it's the best of both world at the moment. Well, apart from the X pedals that were added in 5.1 last month. Hopefully it all gets sorted out since it seems to be an issue for many.

It means we feel your pain, brother.  I’ve canned AT5 on a number of projects until I figure out a strategy to reduce its CPU impact.  

Yeah it seems worse on the 5.1 update. I had to go back to 5.0.3 I think - can't remember the exact version I'm pretty sure it was that one and it helped, though I can't use the X pedals.

From what I heard, it s a...

Surprise! 🤣

I think with the Product Manager now it's even possible to de-authorize but can't say for sure as I don't use PM myself.

Yes, you're right. You can de-authorize in the Product Manager. And it brings the number of available authorizations back up when you do it so you can see how many you have available.

yes - of course your 'old SSL bundle' would be surrendered as part of the upgrade but as you say Studio Classics would give you them all back again as V13 with a years WUP thrown in.

Also make sure you get a price from everyplugin.com for anything Waves related.  Don't buy direct

There is an option to generate a 'code' to give  to the 'local dealer'

choose 'customize upgrade' and click the 'buying from your local dealer'  link

Awesome! Thanks! 😀

@Pollux @simon so if I have the SSL bundle v12 and were to upgrade to Studio Classics (which includes the stuff in the SSL bundle), I would have v13 licenses for all of the products (including the v12 ones I had originally), right?

Does this make sense? I'm not fully awake yet lol

It's cheaper to upgrade to Diamond than to get the WUP for the remaining ones

^^^ yes definitely check for upgrade prices before/if you decide to WUP.  It's often much much cheaper.

This is great advice! Never thought of doing this. Thanks!

SInce the comments were deleted anyways... how many GB participants needed to unlock the megathread?

Why not, LOL! $29 is in Waves giveaway territory!

Absolutely! haha! And their plugins are great!

This is why we can't have nice things. 🤣

And Heavy 2 is only $29 right now (not sure for how long).

+1 on Kenny's question about the tape machines

Consensus seems to be they're heavy on CPU but they sound great. For some reason, I seem to remember the great cclarry mention the 80 is his favorite. Not sure if that's accurate but I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in the early pages of this thread.

EDIT: Page 33 and the few pages that follow it have a bit of discussion about the IK tape machines. The most useful comment was this one where telecode mentions a few specific ones...
