Maybe the best explanation yet. I think what it said, iirc, is that the serial numbers obtained before 26Mar23 must be registered by the 26 for that number to be used. After that date that number would no long be able to be registered with the new system coming on line.

Nothing to see here... Move along... And remain calm.

Resurrection time.

This will be coming in a few days. I already have a straight-edge that I got off a ship (they use them for plotting). I will use it to check the accuracy of the cheap one. $12? Can't beat that price. That notched edge and the rocker tool should help with all my guitars. Might get that small fret kit too. I have seen the finished work of thier painting kits. And I like the work I saw. Looked very professional. However, I like natural wood finishes. So that's probably the way I will go. Probably the TruOil stuff you recommended. I will try that and see if I like the finish. I have done some reading and it seems Tung Oil (which I like and have used for other projects before) and TruOil are close in appearance. Seems TruOil has better protection than Tung Oil. I think I want to stay away from polyurethane though. Thanks for all the pointers Starship.

The friend that built my "custom" guitar sold it to me so he could get Warmoth parts to build him a guitar. He still has and is playing that "Warmoth" guitar to this day.

Good luck with that one!!

That really remains to be seen. That's kinda where all of us are, questioning the "what ifs". I can make the assumption that because this change will not effect current users, that there is no need to explain anything. And it ends there. We can speculate after that all we want!!

I will take it a step further and say that most if not all pros have all they need. All the hardware and all the emulations they need. They will not allow one company to try and suck blood out of them for nothing. Those pro studios and engineers want something in return. And what does Waves have to give them? Like I said, they have all the coveted hardware and many different versions of emulations of them. So what would they pay Waves for on a continuous basis? It was one thing when everyone was trying to emulate say, the Pultec EQ. Waves sat at the top of the heap and could charge what they could get the market to pay. Now everyone can create a very good Pultec. Waves has to sell to us for $29 to stay in business. Now that we all have all the Waves we want, what have they got to give us? The Pros don't need them, we don't need them... what wi they do next? Charge a subscription for what? Brilliant I say!! Brilliant! Unless they got some game changer up thier sleeve. I just don't see this as anything but a last grasp.... Larry may be correct in that they will still offer perpetual licenses for all their plugins. But at what price? I am like Bapu, gonna wait this one out. And hope "we don't get fooled again"! [TOTP!!]

That's the deal breaker. Yep. For me at least. If it was, why did they invent the "$29 plugin?" My point being is, I don't think it is.

I believe that we are spiritual beings. And we communicate feelings and ideas through a complex web of ways that we yet don't understand. Sound is one of these known ways. How that information is communicated isn't yet known or understood. But there is overwhelming facts that prove that information is delivered and received.

Me too. Sure was a nice run. Here we are complaining and moaning about a sub plan, but what if it is at good price? Hey I can dream if I wanna!! LOL

Yep. So as much as I love my Waves stuff, it's goodnight Irene for me. I will keep on using what I can as long as I can. After that I won't buy Waves anymore. And if all plugins go the sub route, I will freeze my machine in a working state until I no longer need it. I am getting up there in age. I am pretty sure I can hold out till the end!!

Now I remember. Thanks Larry.

Yeah I had this in my cart two different times and didn't pull the trigger. I have a 500gb m.2 system drive that's not really half full yet. So I determined I didn't "need" it. However, these prices may not go much lower, if at all.

That's what I thought I saw. Him doing videos for somebody or with somebody about touch mixing surface?

Same thing happened to me!! Now I wonder how many others this happened too.

Are they still making new plugins?

But it would be a good buy for me. My MB is only Gen 3.

The 2tb was $109 a short time ago. So this is a good sign.

And those ears are about as big too!! Should be ashamed of myself!!

I didn't think computers were used in music ar all at this time. I mean mainstream stuff. I realize as long ago as the 50's I believe some type of experimental music using what was called computers was being put out.

Yeah, she one of my all time favorite too. So is Beverly Crusher. And Diana Troy!! And her mom!! Tmi?

Well I didn't miss the boat this time!! [TOTP!!!]

@Jacques Boileau that's a beautiful guitar. Nice job you did on that. Too nice a wood to cover it with paint.

Is TruOil the same as Tung Oil? [edit] I see now. Gun stock finish. Ok. I got it now.
