Free Waves H-Comp

I'm guessing because H-Comp is "finished". If the release notes page is to be believed, then they last made a functionality change to H-Comp in 2016.

"October 10th, 2016: H-Comp: Clicking with the mouse on control scale marks now works well."

Though that simply may have been a bugfix. Of which there were two more, plus a fairly recent HiDPI GUI refresh.

Most of Waves is finished. It's solid software only needing a paint job on older stuff.

Their development and business model are complete opposites.   Maybe that's why they have WUP.   I'd bet some of the plugins bought years ago still work fine.

So far I've not had a single one "go bad" on me. I paid for WUP once to be able to update a couple of freebies I got. I think it was $14 to take two plug-ins from v. 9 to v. 11. I think the new feature that I wanted was the resizable GUI.

Which has always puzzled me about the wailing and gnashing of teeth around WUP. Yeah, Waves are a little pushy about trying to sell it, but nobody's forced to pay for WUP. In the event that a plug-in breaks, you can jump in and WUP any plug-ins that have broken and have them updated to the latest versions.

Seems fair to me.

Often overlooked, but they only provide one seat license with Waves unless you have active WUP. So once your WUP expires, you can only use on one machine unless you want to constantly be transferring licenses, or use a USB dongle.

So anyone with a DAW in the studio that also works mobile on a laptop, or second DAW in another location, it stops working completely .

I'm struggling to think of another developer that only provides one seat in this day and age. Even McDSP have evolved to give more than one! I'm sure there's others that suck in that sense, but not many at all!
