“big” sale is a laugh. A few crusty ancient utility plugs for 9.99. Yeah, VU meter is something to pay for LMAO. Any plugingsanyone would actually want to spend money on is 30 to 35 bucks at least. And the “free” choices if you spend 50 bucks are a joke, aside from maybe the kramer tape which is an alright distortion plugin (tape my butt).

So many better ways to spend ones money in plugin land than on geriatric 80 year old waves plugins.

Dont get me wrong, waves has a few key plugins that are good, just not as part of the sale for a sane price.

As far as I can see sadly only a handful or plugs are available at 9.99, several of which is regularly given away free, like the One Knob series.

I wonder how many actually still buy these? I’d assume majority of Waves users are older big studio producers that got the platinum/gold package back in the day and are kinda stuck in the workflow/habit of using them. Even with these prices I think most of them are over priced, dated and redundant. There are better and cheaper (even free) options available for more or less everything they have to offer. I think if they would sell all the old plugins at 5 bucks a piece they might sell alright. Or big 20 or so plugin bundles at an impulse buy price. Charging $20 for a 20+ year old flanger or basic compressor is insane, most DAWs have way better stock plugins these days than what the Waves are offering.

In reply to Bob. You can use ilok or ilok machine. So local or portable.
