The people I feel bad for now are the folks like Fleer and others who were just giving away serials not just a week ago. They are the ones who got screwed now....

If this is true, I am proven wrong. Never thought it would happen. Would be very happy about it though.

I was really close to making the same (probable) mistake. I had all the core libraries in my cart, and was looking at that $400 price tag. Then I looked at my spreadsheet where I keep documentation of all my VSTs and Kontakt libraries. It didn't take me long to determine I really didn't need them at all. I did end up purchasing both choirs though. Will have a quick play through tonight, but I think I'll be happy with those purchases.

Cinestrings and Voxos are two I was looking at.

Can anyone confirm these are the Version 2 of these libraries?

Same!

Oui! After the Waves fiasco hit home yesterday, I boot up my Eventide Eclipse and started playing around with some of the amazing reverbs. Software is convenient though.

Word...

That was it. Thank you!

Everything shows $124.96 for me...

I updated with no issue.

Not sure I agree with that either. How so?

Wow. Cool. Hopeful Waves will do the same thing.

Non concur. In my almost 30 years as an IT professional, I have yet to see one company move to exclusive subscriptions, then move back to offer perpetual licenses.

This is me exactly. I'm not really a Waves apologist, but I like the plugins, the price, and WUP doesn't really bother me. I've only "Wupped" one time, after having several versions of Waves over the past years. I've been able to get some great plugins and bundles at great prices by slowly upgrading bundles. We are only "assuming" they are going sub only - what we know for sure is that resellers will not be able to sell them anymore. Waves may continue to do so (and I hope they do). But, like others, if they go sub only, I will not subscribe. The only silver lining to me if they go sub only is that all those that have said "WUP is a subscription" will have to admit it wasn't. ?

Great, yet another chess game to show me how terrible a player I actually am.

Me too

What version of Native Access are you using?

This is what happens when take a day off!

Can you explain a bit what that means?

You are more correct - it benefits the consumers.

I like Waves as well and the WUP doesn't bother me. I live in the world of IT, where maintenance cost are a daily thing for me. My biggest issue with WUP is that they provide very little in return for what you pay. I've only ever paid WUP one time. @PavlovsCat has mentioned a few times that one thing that Waves has done is drive prices down across the industry, which benefits everyone. There are plenty of options out there for sure.

Is there a prize?
