Waves summer sale

Waves is a no go for me because of its WUP thing...

[ghettosynth]

hey thanks everyone,

I think I will hold off a bit. I mean I really do love how RC-24 sounds, prolly don't need another reverb really. I guess the only thing really is that KU doesn't show a graphical display for EQ, and H-Eq seems like a pretty nice plug for $35. I mean ultimately I'd like Fabfilter Pro-Q but I have never seen that go for <$150. If I already have SSL modeling with KU then I won't bother with the E-channel. I do have a tendency to fall into plugin acquisition syndrome, honestly that is one of the primary reasons I bought KU was to not feel like I need anything else to do what I want to do.

I have H-Eq, paid $15 for it when I had a very specific need for another graphical EQ and didn't have one at the time. It's ok, it has a few nice features, but, overall, I think that it sounds harsh.

I love iZotope Neutron and that is my goto "technical" channel strip. I think that a much better investment than a bunch of Waves stuff is the iZotope production bundle when you can upgrade from any product for about $250 give or take.

There are free and low priced graphical EQs that will get the job done.

I don't remember why I didn't just get this at the time. I think that this package is excellent value.

Almost all DAW include a graphical EQ, which one are you using?

bitwig 2, the eq is ok but i guess I'm just a pretty visual person, would like to get something along the lines of fabfilter pro-q or izotope neutrino, but those are kind of pricey.

it's not the end of the world, but i definitely prefer being able to install on multiple computers and not have to worry about moving authorizations around, it's not a dealbreaker for me but it does feel kinda greedy on their part. it's not like their drm even works to mitigate piracy anyway because i know of a couple of artists who apparently helped themselves to free copies of the entire Mercury bundle. i wish they'd follow arturia's lead and offer 5 activations, or at least 3, especially since they charge such a premium for their plugins.

I am a bigtime Pro-Q user/EQ plugin junkie but sometimes simplicity of workflow helps alot... and in that regard I find the Waves API 560 to be really great. The fixed frequencies are perfectly spaced for use on all kinds of instruments.

My latest love in EQ land is tilt EQs... can't believe I didn't get into them sooner - great for mastering.

I se, it seems it doesn't presents the current spectrum as Proq2 or even Ableton Live Eq8, I am right?

It does, but you can't toggle full-screen with it.

yeah I just would like to see it a bit more fine tuned.

Tempted by CLA vocals which is currently on sale for $25.

What's the deal with Waves copy protection these days?

[Kalamata Kid]

The the lowest price scenario, if you bought six $25 Waves plugins with all the discounts it will cost you $111.25 or $18.54 per plugin.
Plus
since you are over $80 you get one more plugin for free.

Or get four $25 plugin and one $29 for a total of $81.55
plus
since you are over $80 you get one more plugin for free.

Check my math before making any decisions.

I have CLA vocals - as much as I feel I am cheating when I use it, it works well for that instant commercial vocal sound. Quick, easy and just works.
Copy protection is easy, just authorise to your computer and job done. You have to use Waves Central installer but I find it painless.
