Do Waves licenses have a time limit of some sort? I thought I had one of their reverbs from years ago, but after logging in, it mentioned something about renewing it or some type of payment to download it again.

I saw this deal which seems good, as long as it’s a one-time payment.

That is a Wave Alchemy product, not Waves.

Whoops ..you’re right, thanks!

Hello, do PA still give some $25 vouchers ?

you can download it and use it still but if you want the latest version you have to buy the Waves Update Plan for it.

I just bought those reverbs you linked and I feel like it was a good deal.

I logged in to their site to check. Under “My Products”, it seems there’s no way to download something again. I do see the “Renew Coverage” button, but no download for the older version.

To install waves plugins you need to install waves central https://www.waves.com/downloads/central ... DA1NTU5MTE.

No probs.. That quote was to the eye-rolling Liberace wannabe, not you.

But he was right. I think many of us felt the same, rules are rules for a reason, that thing simply distracts, he just had guts to express it. And thanks for the heads up, really a great deal.

There's a historical reason for the text-only rule in that thread. Long ago, KVR was much more a free-for-all, and the Deals thread ended up looking like Las Vegas on bad LSD. All kinds of videos and flashing lights and huge colored fonts. It was an enshittification war, and it kept getting worse and worse.

Earlier this year, I accidentally posted there with a vid link, was immediately corrected, and am grateful for that.

Does anyone have a spare $25 Native Instruments voucher that I can get from them by gift, trade, or purchase?

FWIW, I think the NI vouchers last 3 months from when you receive them.

Still looking for a voucher, if anyone can help.

I sent one that says it expires Dec 14. So they appear to actually be good for 6 months.

Thanks. I redeemed it and replied to you via PM with a key for an item from your trade thread.

Does anyone know how long the UA Holiday Mix Tape bundle is going to be on sale for? I'm tempted by Studio D, Waterfall B3 and Fairchild. Though I need to do more demo-ing.

What's the general consensus on Fairchild plugins, is the UA one considered 'the best'? It sounds very good in my testing so far.

Is there a way to demo the Alex Lifeson collection for Tonex? I have the basic Tonex and didn’t see any demo version of the collections, so I’m guessing not..
I’m thinking of upgrading to Total Studio Max 5 for that Lifeson stuff and Pianoverse.

Acustica Ultramarine sounds more like the hardware 670, but also uses much more cpu than UA. It's been used by Grammy-nominated mixing engineer Bainz, among others.

The Unfairchild plugin is very good but emulates a modern clone that's a bit different. Acustica's Midnight includes several very good modern Fairchild clones including the Unfairchild and sounds more 3D and IMO better overall than the Unfairchild plugin, though the Unfairchild plugin has more low-mid/low-end weight.

Me too, but don't what to buy...

They didn't tell us. I'm assuming it ends on December 31, together with the other sales this month.

I had a Stamchild and they sounded the same as each other for the settings I was using.
