Grumpy about: Waves Update Plan
So Waves Plugins have a "Waves Update Plan"
First I've ever heard of it.
For an approximately 25~300 quid per year FOREVER you can keep your VST's up to date with the later versions.
So when I bought several of their best and most desirable plugins at sale prices through most of last year, I assumed I was the proud owner of half a dozen or so, semi permanent music tools.
I was so delighted to find out my collection of plugins, if I want to keep them updated, will cost me the mere sum of 200+ quid every 12-18 months for the rest of my life apparently.
Waves; "You thought we were cool with our sales, but it turns out we're dicks"

Re: Grumpy about: Waves Update Plan
Ive heard that is how things will be going for some of the bigger manufacturers, especially those who supply to bigger facilities, its seen as a rental/ lease mentality. Thing is though as a user how important is it to keep updating plugins and software? I think it can be major hassle and even a distraction. If your system is stable and your happy with it why keep updating with every .1 update

I guess that depends on whether fixes for OS updates are included for free or not, otherwise Apple users are getting screwed.Will Frances wrote:IIf your system is stable and your happy with it why keep updating with every .1 update
