Did you get an email, or see it in the PA Facebook group? If it was the PA Facebook group, it was posted by Neold, as opposed to PA themselves, so I would assume it only related to their plugins, not all of them. Hopefully it's all though ?

The updates are for Neold plugins only though aren't they, not all PA?

I just tried out Cosmos and Magnetic II again earlier when you mentioned that and they're both decent. I'd forgotten about them a little while waiting for their VST3 versions which hopefully aren't far away, but at least the updates should be free which is nice.

Back up there now ?

D16 is free updates perpetually for minor releases though, whereas this is a major release and without WUP, Waves wouldn't even give you minor updates for free. D16 provides support indefinitely. Waves will not provide any support without active WUP. D16 can always be transferred and for free. Waves you can only transfer to someone else if you have active WUP. Not sure if they charge on top of that too. D16 can be used on multiple machines perpetually. Waves only provides 2 seats at most and you lose the second seat once WUP is inactive, so if you have a DAW and laptopsl for a mobile rig and don't want to constantly move a USB key around, or deactivate on one machine and reactivate on the other one all the time, then you need active WUP. I would rather free major releases too though from D16. Maybe even just the next version free and then paid for versions after that. Discounted updates would also be great and sounds fair to me. But when it comes to sucking, Waves and their WUP and archaic ideas cannot be outdone ?

Think they may have pulled that temporarily from the store. The link doesn't go to it and searching doesn't find it. Maybe they jumped the gun on the date/time.

Got it, that makes sense then. You can also just disable the extension in between when using those things. I occasionally use Honey and Cently extensions which I do somewhat think are trustworthy enough, but I still leave them disabled all the time. Then I just open the cart page with them on in one browser and see if they find any discounts. Then I disable them and check out through another. Not saying I would recommend leaving Waya installed though.

You're not trusting them with your financial data though. You simply clear all your browsing history, install the extension, download the files, uninstall the extension. No financial data is required to download the links. You don't even need to register. As for Muze quality, I've heard mixed things but don't expect to be wowed. Still, simple enough to download and try in case there is one good one in there.

Dammit.. I just updated them all the other day ?

It's the same as Bing, Cently, Honey and all the other extensions that check the prices on cart and try all different discount codes automatically to get you the lowest prices.when you're shopping online. That seems to be what Waya is which is pretty common. That's what every one of them needs to function. Same as password managers, or anything that can fill in any forms. The only question really is whether you trust them as a company. They're probably fine, but I just did it on a spare computer, cleared all browsing history, installed the extension, downloaded all the files, uninstalled the extension. Really that just allows you to get to the next step which exposes the links which are all direct downloads. I did consider posting the direct links for them here, but I thought I might get a strike or ruffle some feathers for doing so ?

That is indeed a dead giveaway, but sounds like a great plugin so not a bad thing on this occasion at all. Makes perfect sense about MAS and some of the Kush ones can be like that! Thanks for all your thoughts on it and the info.

That made the decision to pass even easier.. No doubt the play will be it's never VST3 and they make everyone buy, or pay to upgrade to BFD4 to get VST3 support knowing InMusic..

Is this still only VST2?

I ended up pulling the trigger on "yet another delay".. ? But this one really is pretty cool and a bit different. The video helped me over the line. You might still have a little bit of time to grab it at intro price. Well worth it.

They do come back around on sale eventually and then you might be able to.

I think you can earn credits by buying during intro sales, but not use them for intro. As for the fire series, some are actually pretty decent. I expect this could be good and will definitely give it a demo.

Yeah that's my take too Lars.. I don't mind downloading them and at some stage seeing if I like them. I'm not expecting to be impressed, but sometimes I can be surprised.

They could be demos.. it doesn't mention that unless I missed it, but demos aren't normally free for a set period of time. They're not full versions though either as looking at the size of the full ones, 40GB for all of these isn't enough. So maybe they're a cut down version. My opinion of Muze so far hasn't changed.. haha..

It just seems to be a Chrome extension downloader which isn't completely surprising given it's 40GB. I'm still installing and downloading on a second computer though and would rather not install it. But it will be uninstalled as soon as I'm finished.

I'm not sure I like Muze.. I don't know Waya, so I'm not sure I like them either... but free is free so hopefully this helps someone! Note: This was from an email from Muze directly.

Any standouts that people really love from them? They seem pretty well regarded, but it's hard to know what is what.
