Yes, looks interesting if you do not own much stuff and are looking around for new things. Its probably the lowest price i have seen for this.

But always keep in mind, that at some point they charge you a big bag of money to keep your VSTs up to date.

I avoid Waves and have enough toys, but thanks for the hint.

If you still considere it, you may have a look here for a good price:

Their licensing sucks. While it's a great deal you are eventually painting yourself into thay WUP corner. Everything sucks about Waves except for the quality of their plugins.

You can get this right now for $78.71 USD at everyplugin.com with code "YNY23". I purchased this yesterday and my serial was delivered in about 15 minutes. I didn't really need this because I got everything in the IK Multimedia sale, but I figured why not. They have a few creative effects in the bundle that I really like.

The WUP renewal costs more than the bundle which is hilarious. However, v13 is now Apple Silicon native, and nobody says you have to update when the year is over.

The results I get from Logic's stock plug-ins are as good or better than anything else. Like most folks I stopped using Waves products due to the licensing and updating hassle.

…it’s not mandatory to update. if you’re happy with how the plugin sounds when you buy it, you can carry on without ever updating, unless there are compatibility issues that a new version addresses. but I’ve had most of the same batch of Waves plugins for years now, and I’ve yet to need to upgrade. they’re no different than any other plugins in that regard.

anyway, this is an absolute steal. tons of great plugins here. if I didn’t already own most everything I need, I’d be all over this.

Good deal.. one thing though, before you hit that buy button know that Reason still doesn't support input/side-chain*
Are we getting an update or will full compatibility arrive when we finally get VST3 support?

Just got this mail for waves support



Thank you for contacting Waves Tech Support.

Please note that this is not a bug since sidechaining is supported on the following hosts: Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Nuendo, Cubase, Sonar, Audition, Ableton Live, FL Studio 12, REAPER, and Studio One, as stated in our Supported Hosts page.

In Reason the sidechain of waves plugins isn't supported (Hopefully in the future propellerhead will fix this in an update)

Thanks for this - however we all need to be aware when buying stuff from Waves to confirm that it will work with Reason. Last week I purchased a copy of the F6 dynamic EQ (which I rate highly). However I discovered that you cannot sidechain this in Reason DESPITE Waves pre-requisites page listing Reason v9.5/10 as a suitable host. The sidechaining selection control is not visible when this device is used within Reason (but does show in other DAW). I understand that this is down to Reason not supporting VST v3 (still on VST 2.4), but I cannot personally confirm that: All I know is that this device works fine in other modes but it's not possible to sidechain (as shown in product description and sales videos).
