I can't rationalize this deal either. I have amek 9099 and few other bx ones including focusrite, ssl j and g. Plus i just got melda easential fx amd ik's total max 3.5. i am beyond good on plugins. That's not even counting all i already had

Amex console is my favorite console by them by far. It is default in most of my templates

And that comes from a person who just bought 3.5 max. No, I'm not likely to grab 4 anytime soon because , well I'm not Bapu( just being lighthearted. I love that you support these businesses) and I already have too much software that is redundant and funds are saying no. Just because it's not right fit at the is moment does not mean it is a bad deal.

IK is a textbook example of no good deed goes unpunished. Their rep has been enduring neverending negativity for well over 10 years from people who seem to have no appreciation for the fact that IK often provides great value. Yes, sometimes they miss the mark, but sometimes they offer you like 50 products for the price of one. I am not a fan of installation process or how some bundle upgrades work but that is minor to me and pales in comparison to companies like izotope ( in izotope 's defense, I have had reps discount me on upgrades when they realized I had most of individual products) who will charge you to "upgrade" to a bundle that literally contains one more item. IK's product line is so vast that their bundle gives you more than most of us will ever need to create, mix and master most forms of popular music and to then some at a price that is decent even at full price. Let's be honest. We rarely buy these things at full price and still complain. Some of us have multiple licenses of these products that end up resold. I'm not saying everything IK does is perfect, but they seem closer to being "on our side" than most. They even offer decent free versions of multiple products than can often be upgraded with the freebies they often give out. If IK ever folds we will miss them.

I think this was an april fool's joke

He seems like a try hard. I don't have a negative opinion but just feel he's tofu with a weird voice. Not offensive, but with a glut of guys doing same thing, i never look for him

He does have a tendency to speak from a place of ignorance. He never even glances at manual or even glance at quick start guide. I get the school of thought that interfaces should be intuitive, but he takes it to another level. When he is on, he is dead on, but when off he is on another planet.

Bitflipper's review of mspectraldynamics has made me want to get it for awhile but never pulled the trigger

About time. I love ultrqchannel but always hated interface

I have been watching too much White Sea Studio. Plugins without auto gain annoy me now lol

In light of the waves fiasco, i think i will upgrade to the fx essential bundle. I already own Mautodynamic and a couple others so my upgrade is only 61. I don't really need , but kind of want to support companies with simpler licensing policies.

I just got 3.5 last month. I already own modo bass 2 and modo 1.5. Not sure i need more

Thank you so much. I will try later. I was super annoyed.

It might be a studio 1 and waves thing. I got V14 to work in cakewalk after reinstalling everything

I managed to get the v12 and v13 ones to work. I can get V14 to work but ONLY if I place them in waves studio rack which does load.

The waves central update broke my installations. After I finish the projects that currently have Waves, I may avoid them.

So....Decent Sampler with a tiny library?

I didn't WUP before this and remain unlikely to WUP

I used RBass for about 9 years without updating.

Was there a 25 voucher this month? I think i missed it

Explains why sales were so good.

I don't hate this, but I definitely don't love it. Waves does have the product line to be the one stop source for plugins( excluding instruments) if you are running a profitable studio. I think the big gamble Waves is taking is that they don't have the unique position that Adobe had. Photoshop has enjoyed the advantage of not having had a serious competitor since the 90's. The same is true for After Effects to a lesser degree ( more powerful compositing software exists, but AE occupies a unique lane that happens to work well with their other software). It took me awhile to move on from Adobe( Resolve is better than Premier in multiple areas and Affinity photo is a notch below but usable for my purposes), but finally have a combo that works for me. With Waves it is very different. I could never use a Waves product again starting now and not miss a step. I am sure this is true for many of us even if we love certain products ( Rvox is on most of my vocal chains ). In fact, I am willing to say most of us have individual plugins as good as or superior to every equivalent waves plugin. Most of us wouldn't be lose sleep if we were "stuck" using Fabfilter Pro L, Sonible Smart Limiter or even Newfangled Elevate instead of L2 the same way as an image processing professional would struggle if Photoshop got yanked overnight. I get the theory behind subscriptions. It forces upgrades when customers would be content to skip version or wait, and thus making income more predictable. In this case, it may blowup. I simply don't need Waves and I am sure I have at least 5 years with my current versions. More than enough time to replace Waves with plugins I likely already have. I started playing with Bassmint more today.

Not even close to the same thing.

Glad I haven't WUPed .

Nah. I'm good.
