After watching the video: How much is the new plugin???
oh, i tought that they were always free…
Pretty empty as a teaser. We learn nothing that is not already in the title of the thread. It’s not a tease, more a waste (of time).
Oh you didn’t know?
The plugin is the U-2 album. You’re welcome.
Thanks for the heads up
Lo-fi filter?
Let me guess… a channel strip. Or a scaled down compressor with only two control knobs.
Called it! lol
what is it and how much again?
The only reason I could imagine them giving away something decent for free is that they might be trying to redeem their somewhat mixed reputation for skinning their long-time users with update prices, etc.
Let me guess, a free plugin with a $50 license key dongle?
I got “This e-mail address has previously been removed for flagging a message as spam/abuse. If you believe this to be in error, please contact the account owner.”. I guess they don’t want me as a customer any more.
Same here… WTF ?
VHS emulator… obviously
The fact we are being asked to sign up for a free plug-in 4 days early without description, or even a hint at the plug-in, makes me feel I’m signing up for a free plug-in that is like a couple of things I already have but not as good as them. Waves make me feel like a pawn in dirty marketing game, I won’t be having that – stick it where the sun don’t shine… but I bet they actually think the sun shines from there!
jesus h. it’s free.
i hope it’s as good as eventide’s ultrastrip, which i liked enough to pick up ultraverb.
i’m doubtless going to get down-voted to hell for this, but why all the hostility towards waves?
i bought the mercury+ssl bundle on offer a while ago – i think it cost me about £2200 in one of their 60% off months – which works out at about £15 per plugin. the update plan costs about £150 a year (it’s capped per machine) and for that i’ve got, on average, two or three new plugins a year (including some amazing ones like vitamin and the codex synth), and when it goes to version 10, that’ll be free.
the copy protection is painless compared to ilok / e-licenser and is dongle free (though you can use a usb key as a dongle if you wish)
plus, their customer service is excellent – you can get them on the phone if it’s urgent, and they respond to emails within a couple of hours, usually
I’ll gladly pay for something *useful* from any company, but I find a lot of the Waves stuff is just repeating the same idea. I mean, repeating it very well, but still some of the content is a little redundant. So I buy individual plugins that I really need when I need them (and I usually manage to restrain myself until they’re on offer). 🙂
