Waves is the worst. Their prices may seem reasonable at first, but they constantly "update" and re-release their plugins to new versions which you will conveniently don't have the license for... meanwhile, nothing was actually updated. The plugins have literally been the exact same since the early 2000's. Such a scam. Good luck installing the legacy versions you do have the license for, by the way. They stop supporting them, and they've made the process insanely complicated and filled with bugs, so in effect, they force you to re-purchase the same plugin over and over. They're currently on V15 of doing this as of late 2024. 15! lol Not only that but the plugins aren't even that good anymore. They were top of the line in the early 2000's, but most of them haven't even changed since then. If you go to their site, literally every plugin is rated a 4.8 or 4.9 stars... pretty sure most of those reviews are fake and/or they don't publish the negative ones because there's more than a few duds in their collection that are 5.0 star reviewed. Makes no sense. There's a few workhorses in their lineup, like the L2... but honestly, you can get way better plugins these days from other companies that are more ethical. SoundToys, FabFilter, Steven Slate and UA are all miles better than Waves. Go there.
