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. I have duplicate licenses. Some of them are bundles. Their stuff is great but I'm not going to feed them anymore until they change their licensing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never WUP'd until recently. And I really can't see me doing it again. Unless it gets down to that $29 majik mark!!

abacab Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 The only thing Waves that I really care about is the Abbey Road Collection, and a few of their synths, Codex, Elements, and Flow Motion. I don't see any WUP in their near future, as the v12 seems pretty complete to me as is. But if Waves offers some compelling feature updates, maybe someday, but until then I will pass on WUP...

And an Abbey Road Collection serial I’ll only register when Waves goes M1 native. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 As far as effects go, I have some great alternatives to Waves, except for the Abbey Road Collection. There is some seriously cool stuff in there that is not really duplicated elsewhere, IMO. Oh yeah, and Scheps Omni Channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleer Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Yeah, Greg Wells was fun. Waves Tune Real Time too. Even the refreshed Renn ones. But they’re all out if WUP. And I sure ain’t woopin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with ya on this one.I decided to do it once and get up to date and that should carry me for a good while. The give a free Mix Rack that's really nice too. It has an option to split any signal into different frequencies and route how you want to the plugins in the rack. It really is nice. You don't hear much about it at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSMcGuitar Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I got Horizon probably about 2 years ago and not a single thing has been added in that time, as far as I recall. Not even close to worth it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwrend Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 My H-Comp expired last month. Everything else is good until March '22. I will probably pick up AR RS124 (only one I'm missing from the collection) for $29 and WUP one more time. Of course, that's after I cash in on the IK GB 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Symmetry Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Ah, the ongoing WUP arguments Estd. 1994. It's all in how you rationalize the math. I haven't purchased a WUP in 3 years, I can upgrade Mercury for $160.00..Say I only use half of the 180 plugins in the bundle, so 60 plugins costs roughly $2.70 each to upgrade. I haven't purchased a WUP in 3 years so I could look at that as .89c each. (Plus whatever new plugins were added to the bundle in 3 years) I'll probably wait another year or two since I only use a few Waves plugins these days & they don't need to be upgraded to function in my older or current projects. By then WUP might be a thing of the past (although whatever they do to replace it might be worse, not worried either way tbh..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zo Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 The key is to wait and go for big bundles , my mercury is V9 , V12 introduced a lot of great features and new plugins .. but it's windows 10 onlys os i 'll still wait but unless you have interesset in updateing (plugin resize is one of them for me) , no need to do so ...(for windows guyz) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I also wish Waves would do away with their plugin "shell" method. It is annoying to have to wait for a full scan anytime Waves updates or adds a single plugin. And while they are at it, how about granting 2 licenses per plugin, like most other companies, huh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leandro Álvarez Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 The problem is that they charge the WUP, but you see no added value. There's no update to their GUIs (rezising? Sure, pixelated..), buttons that you cannot assign to midi, buggy performance (cla nx) and zero new features (adding M/S, hpf, lpf, meters, etc) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
