Not too long ago in a galaxy not far away......IK kicked some ***** in a group buy.
Izotope did not charge users for a Ozone 9 upgrade after it had been out for over 2 months.
Every week Melda has a 50% off.
Waves returns to it's own vomit with the $29 plugins. Eventide is the copycat.
I don't think I need anymore.
Funny how PA claims ignorance with what buyers were doing.
Also they rarely update plugins.
It does make sense in what they are doing, There needs to be some exchange of money with their vouchers.
I still think it's one of the coolest DAWs ever. If they would have had a dedicated piano roll page it was going to be my main DAW. I still love the GUI. I've got the original light skin running.
What is really going to hurt them is creating confusion for the end user. Their licensing sucks. More developers that rely on iLok even have multiple installs. Waves might as well be an iLok only product.
So far I don't see any plugins updated to 11. It's just Waves Central. I installed their freebies on my other machines and the H Compressor is still at 10.
Very surprising since Cubase is claimed to be more resource efficient than Cakewalk. There is a similarity on one core which means that's probably on the developer's side.
