I will continue to wean myself off Waves irrespective of this announcement. 

Me too.  I'm out never to return.  "Fool me once . . ."

I got an email this morning from Kazrog with this subject line:   :Final hours: "perpetually" yours forever ?"

You gotta love it.

I would hate to work in customer service at Waves right now.

You would learn just how many F-bombs one email/phone call could contain!

You gotta love the name if nothing else.

Get DSM instead.

DSM is a really good tool to have in the arsenal.   It's well worth a test drive.

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

Play me.  You'll immediately feel better about your skill.

I never let something like that stop me from commenting.  

There are quite a few models on their facebook group: Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) Discussion

The Grater is the epitome of over-the-top compression, that will
break your sound with raw power

I've discovered I can easily do this by my own ineptitude, and for free to boot!

This one is a bit pricey ($60), but worth a look.  It has some rhythms to get you started, and you can program your own.

I like playing around with this plugin. Most of the mics I have aren't on the list (and I wish they'd add more) but I find it interesting as an effect by choosing random-ish mics and switching out the sound. If I didn't have it in T-RackS Max, I'd buy it at this price.

That's my experience and I rarely use it (I have Slate and AA's lava which I use more); but for a ten spot it's worth it.  I'd definitely give the demo a spin.

Thanks, thats a fantastic price.  For anybody on the fence here are a couple of great demos by Chandler who often posts on this forum.

Excellent review, Zo.  I really liked the Q&A because it was good to see who is actually behind the software.

i.e. How to make the most money for the shareholders and bollocks to the workers.

So true.  My wife's father started a manufacturing company in the late '50's.   In the 70's when corporations started making their employees part time so that they wouldn't have to pay insurance and pensions her dad refused to do it because he felt like he had made a promise to his employees to take care of them.  During the Great Recession of 2008 when companies either fired or laid off people her dad refused to do it and kept all this people on full time.  He said he did because they were the ones who made the business what it was.    He lost money during those years, but he said taking care of this employees was the right thing to do.   He was remarkable guy who didn't think only about the bottom line.  The people who worked for him loved him and would have taken a bullet for him.  I wish more businesses would think like he did.

Take control of your own "color standard" for all your Studio One songs. The Color Toolbar enables uniform channel/track colors and icons based on names, phrases, or even channel types. Now your buses, FX, vocals, and drums will always be a consistent set of colors and icons, speeding up your workflow when moving from one song to the next or between collaborators.

A very cool free add-on, and the creator is getting ready to update to 3.03

There's a TON of great information in there.   A big plus is list of recommended plugins at the bottom.

Good idea! You could name it after some sort of rare metal or something...

LOL! You win this threads, hands down.

Very sad news.  He was one of those guys who could be truthfully called a genius.

I'm definitely in.

I'm continually fascinated by Waves marketing department.  How many more ways can they permutate a never-ending sale?  You gotta admit it's impressive.

Cool!  A 16 channel model is a real bargain!

Well done guys!  The song is very compelling with great playing and an interesting arrangement all the way through.   I really thought that the piano brought something special to the whole thing.  The recording, mix and mastering sound pro-level.  This is one to be proud of!

I confidently predict that some future politician will unironically use this one as their campaign rally song, which of course will be ironic. Especially when they win.

This is probably the best quote on the entire internet ever!

First of all, this is really well recorded!  Quite impressive.  I like your arrangement a lot, and think that you have a really great guitar tone, and the guitar itself is very tastefully played.   The lyrical theme you're covering is very timely and very well explored.  IMHO to answer, the first two questions you ask are "Nothing" and "No".   Job very well done here.  You should be proud of this!

Well, we have a major nuclear armed nation actually threatening to use those things.  Other than that, things look pretty bright.
