Hi guys,

if you know me a little you know how much I hate not optimized for workflow and not thoughtful design...

I have been complaining about it a lot...

But after wasting time to clean after plugin managers again and again... I decided to try again to approach developer with some  attempts to force them to start understand at last it is not minor issue making their users to waste time and make then angry...

So this is my post to Waves:

Feel free to join to make them to notice a problem after so many years of ignoring it... Or if you prefer feel free to show them your love for such approach... ?

Here are  my words:

----

Hello

You are very experienced plugin company, I like your plugin as despite of trends or fashion the only rule if sounds good then sounds good.  So even for oldest plugins if it sounded in records few year ago it would probably still sound good.

But there is one thing you should be ashamed of...  Seriously...

Why WaveCentral is still (it continues it by so many years) so mindless?
To be specific:

1. Why I cannot set which folder for VST I wish to pick?? Instead it is forced...
2. Why I cannot decide which version of plugins I want to have installed? VST or VST3 ? 64-bit and NOT 32-bit!
3. Why it is forcing install AAX version of plugins for users who never got Pro Toolls ???
4. Why WC is trashing my disk and precious place with all possible versions?
In consequences VST scanning last few times more than it should !

It is kind of laziness and - forgive harsh word - mindless of designers/developers to assume 'less needed support when putting everything everywhere' so it is good...

Even very small developers started many years ago to provide installers when we could pick where to install and what version to install to minimize space disk used and time needed for VST scans !

I beg you please give us more love and respect. For out space, time, nerves.

Best regards,
Piotr

Agree but $37 is too much to pay for one.

Boz's T-Bone frequently goes on sale for $19.  

 

And there are free options on the market as well (ex.  https://matthiaskock.de/wordpress/tilteq/2017/07/21/tilteq/)

 

 

If i recall , there s even one freee but lilited features via elysia ....

Cornelius ? 

People under estimated how efficient is a tilt eq for good recording and tracks , it can wake up a mix in a matter of minutes ... and very small moves ...

Cant wait for zebra 3 ...

Modo guitar .... ?

Same here.  

FYI- If you work for an educational institution you might get the licenses for even less. I just recently found out I could have had WIN 10 licenses for 14.99 each.

I think they are considered to be some sort of a group license and maybe why they cost less? I haven't bought one yet because I haven't needed it. I did pick up 

Office though for about the same price.

Any link ?

guyz , let say i download the iso  and install'this next year , is my windows 8 licence will unlock the win 10 licences ?

I just installed a couple of their plugins on my new studio machine.  I'll have to check out the site when it is up.  I believe the reskin may also include updates to some of the plugins if I'm not mistaken?  I recall seeing an offer to upgrade one of the ones I have but haven't installed yet to this new more modern version.

Peter , nice to see what other brands rep use ,could you tell us what you re fav brands /plugins ...for what. ? ( if youbhave time of course ) pure curiosity ...

Hey Zo, to the best of my knowledge no. You need to upgrade to Windows 10 to take advantage. You can't just claim a new Windows 10 key by giving MS your Windows 8 key.

Do you know how to proceed ?  i have Two computer .... love windows 8 but software makers start to bitching win8 , Presonus and NI being one of those  ....

My issue with windows 8 is the fact that it's very difficult to get privacy and choose what the os gonna do (update , defender...Ect ) i don't want to create either a microsoft accoun , don't need updates until i feel like so ect ....

Sample logic stuff all sound alike imho , cool for one or two title but the sonic print is to pronouced and sound design reflects too much the maker tastes imho , great sometime , but then having it accross all titles makes the interest lower ...

watching Simeon video as i type , notice that samplelogic mrophestra 2 is superb if you don't own other smaplgic stuff ..

Like Fret said, yes you still can. MS wants everyone on Win 10 sooner rather than later.

 

Found this Zo: Free Win 10

From ZNET:

Microsoft's free upgrade offer for Windows 10 ended more than four years ago, but no one told the people who run the Windows activation servers. As a result, you can still upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 and claim a free digital license for the latest Windows 10 version, without being forced to jump through any hoops.

 

 

Thks guyz the problem is at i can just download a windows 10 licence with my windows 8 licences ? I don t feel like going threw 2 computer install right now ...

Can t we just update a windows 8 to 10?,

tracks search is great as well as the retrospective thingy ... more frustrated here 

Waiting the daw where you could speak to like an assistant : studio one , display only my drums and my voclas as well as the bass !

They're were supposed to do abig update , still not there ?

I think the last time I saw 50%, it was for bundles rather than single plugins; it was either for BF, or the Christmas end-of-year sale (can't remember which).

@Zo might know the answer to this - I seem to remember he gets an educator's discount on some things

For BF i can't recall but custom upgrades yep this is how i got Saturn 2 super cheap

wwwwwwwwwindows ...888888888

Fancy gui or really good comp ? anybody ?
