Michael Vogel Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 As the title suggest- Can anyone recommend a dealer offering a good discount on (WUP) Waves Update Plan? Any help appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig N Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) I found everyplugin to be the cheapest when I upgraded to Horizon, as well as when i bought the Abbey Road bundle. I also requested a quote thru Audio deluxe and I think one time they might have been cheaper than every plugin, but I didn't bite on that occasion. I waited for a good sale on upgrades. When it comes to WUP if you can wait they discount it by 25% from time to time.

Sometimes it's cheaper to just buy the plugs again, or upgrade to a bundle ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find the upgrade deals in your Waves account. either way everyplugin.com will be cheapest EDIT also - don't feel pressure to WUP just because you Waves tell you to The reasons to WUP are: - They have added plugins to your bundle so it's cheaper to WUP than buy them - There is a new version of a plugin that fixes an issue you are having In general the version updates don't usually add any more features... I can't tell the difference between 11/12/13 etc (apart from resizing of window?) You can WUP at any time in the future too..so no rush Edited February 7, 2022 by simon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the only reason to WUP is if your plugins failed to work and you need support to get them operational again, or you now have 4K monitors and need resizable GUIs and your version is old enough that wasn't an option. And even then at this point I'd weigh your options based on what is on the market. I'm thankful to have switched to other vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really depends on what bundle you have and how many were added since you last WUPed. It's worked out much cheaper for me the last few times.

PavlovsCat Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Bringing up Waves triggers a lot of people around here, immediately resulting in WUP-related comments. But doing a thread specifically about WUP, that's practically like a political thread and some people lose all abilities for rational thought. True story. I recently even mentioned I bought a Waves plugin recently in a thread and got a negative reaction. Waves = controversy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, with only you commenting negatively about WUP (not that any of us like it) -- that's surprising. I guess everyone else ran out of steam. Anyhow, just for sport, I think I'm going to start making arguments in defense of WUP. WUP rocks! I love me some WUP! More WUP! Yeah, not believable. Still, let's at least be grateful that Waves plugins are always $29-$39USD and if they're ever priced higher than that. Just wait a day or two. Remember the days when Waves were really costly? And now, I want one, I just get it. And I've actually never paid WUP and I have some plugins of theirs that are probably a decade old. If WUP is too expensive, I'll just buy them again on sale, all the time. It's really not a big deal because they're so inexpensive. If you want a complaint, I'd say that Toontrack is the most customer unfriendly popular plugin maker in the game with limited time for upgrades before they tell their loyal customers -- tough luck, your loyalty means nothing to us; upgrade on our timeframe or you're out of luck.

PavlovsCat Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 @Fleer In honor of our little dialogue here, I revised my signature file. Now, beyond this thread, I wonder if anyone will notice -- and if there's anyone who could possibly take that seriously. Still, that's my new thing. I'm going to be known as the first human on earth in the WUP fan club! Every time I see a negative comment about WUP, from this point on, I'm going to play devil's advocate (and let's face it, a lot of people here do believe that Waves is the devil anyhow) and pretend I'm a huge WUP fan. Of course, anyone who sees this thread will know, but for anyone else, I'm going to defend WUP to the bitter end!!! Be prepared, Fleer. I am prepared to die on this hill -- the hill of WUP. Anti-WUPers beware!!!! I'm coming for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy1 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 There are no bargains on WUP until Waves says so. Hopefully they will get with it like other developers that allow extra machines without going through a small hassle. Thy still have the Diamond upgrade offer. I've moved away from Waves since I have 3 systems. They rarely come out with a dud. They are still one of the best developers around, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
