Wondering how mad I need to be with this failure of an update program. I see a drop down with a choice of V10, V11, and V12 in the new Wave Central. V9 is still the crazy extra thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 On my windows machine the resizing of one test (Abbey Road Chambers) was great. 200% was nearly crystal clear. 75% was too small (DUH!). This was in Studio One Pro V5. In CbB 200% was ever so slightly fuzzy, but workable for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallstonefan Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I LOVE that you can now resize Waves plugins and I think they look great! It also appears that there is one waveshell file for v12 instead of a half a dozen. So far, this update is a win for me. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Boileau Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I updated this morning. The resizing is so so on some plugins, good on others. It is pretty bad on the Scheps Omni Channel. The preset browser is quite nice for me. On the Scheps Omni Channel it makes it much easier to check out presets and zero in to the best preset (starting point) for a particular track. ex. just typing 'el' makes it easy to find all the presets for electric guitar. Very very nice! One feature not mentioned in the upgrade info: I got a ton of new presets for the Scheps Omni Channel which was well worth the 13$ I paid for WUP. Very nice surprise! All in all, I find v12 worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Shelby Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 Oddly...the installer didn't "activate" the V12 plugins and had to go back and do that...that's never happened before.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Shelby Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 Just now, locrian said: What is this marvelous, magical, mysterious trick you speak of? I gave everyone a way to get 2 years of WUP for the price of one when you were ready to buy WUP. Buy a new plugin, then include that new plugin in the WUP purchase. WUP is renewed from the LAST expiration date of your plugins, which would be 1 year from the purchase of the NEW plugin, giving you 2 years for the price of one... but they've killled the ability to do that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means if you WUP now renewal is calculated relative to the expiration date of each plugin (which at most will be just one year) ... yes?

What's bad about the resizing? Omni Channel is the only one I own that has expired. I was planning to WUP it for the sole reason of being able to resize it larger, but after reading what you wrote may not bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you get the following message: 1 year of Waves Update Plan coverage is capped at $240 for all non-identical products. Your Waves Update Plan exceeds the $240 cap due to either selecting multiple identical licenses, or the coverage you’re about to purchase is for more than 1 year for some of the selected licenses. So they have, indeed, capped it at one year for the products you select. If those products go beyond 1 year, you pay more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locrian Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 1 hour ago, mister_tea said: As soon as I start selecting plugins from Group B, the extension date for all the plugins is set to one year past that date. However the price scales up to match. My most recent plugin is a freebie from the last sale. It has WUP through September 2021 already. If I go to extend it along with all my expired plugins, my WUP price increases from $240 (one year cap) to $476 -- just under two years of renewal for just under two years of cost. As a bonus, the plugins are licensed to a single machine. You get two licenses so long as you pay for WUP but the day your WUP sub expires the extra licenses vanish. Sort of seems like the worst of artificial upgrades and subscription business models. I went through the same steps you described above and, at first, thought I had to pay (WUP) to have all my "Group B" plugins converted to V12; I like the new resizing and prest browser options. But then I realized that everything in Group B could be updated for free (which, of course, I just did). I'm not sure if you, or others, realize this, so I'm mentioning it to make sure that no one who's entitled to upgrade for free misses the opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no real reason to WUP if you haven't already....and I quite like waves (runs and hides !) Maybe the v13 WUP will include important and ground-breaking features such as Readable text at more zoom sizes, e.g. 75% Clearer graphics at larger zoom sizes 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 I can't even get V12 to show up in any of my DAWS. I've downloaded and installed them all, and they show V12 in my Waves Central, but in the DAW they show V11, and no change at all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
