Please note: this video was made prior to Waves announcing their all-in subscription plan. My thoughts however, remain pretty much the same: owning a license isn’t the same as owning the tool. You’re at the whims of the manufacturer…

Considering Waves just committed business suicide, you should do a video where you show some of the best replacement plugins for specific Waves plugins that are popular. .

RIP Waves. Hope they walk it back and give people an option.

Busy week ahead for Waves…

Nice revision Mr Manchester. 'You own nothing and be happy'. That quote reminds me of what another organisation are saying...

Interesting times indeed. First and foremost, nice job on the revision. This is an example of how to do something like that tastefully. No histrionics. =] Given what happened in the last 24 hours, I would suggest the following: 1) Give it another 24 hours for the emotions to settle down. 2) Assess and reassess what really matters and act accordingly. If you want to express grievances, make it clear as to what and why that is and avoid excessive emotions and other histrionics.

Thanks for explaining how plug ins really work, so many people have no clue that you cannot own software, you simply rent it until you decide to no longer update ir or use it or the developer chooses to stop supporting it.

''You'll own nothing and be happy.''

No more Waves for me... And for what I saw in the "Important Message from Waves" email, they are allowing people that owns plugins to keep them, at least that is fare From their email "What about the plugins I already own? No worries. You continue to own your plugins, at the latest version you bought or to which you updated." Thanks for the R-Bass re-review!

Is that frequency slider going for that set frequency or everything below? Fundamental or just the sub region?

Now that they've gone subscription, it doesn't matter to me if their plugins are good or not. Especially after I've spent hundreds of dollars on plugins with them over the years and now I won't even be able to get update plans for what I've purchased.

Now it made sence. Thanks for clearing it up. I thought it was me... 😂

I'd very much like to see you do a video on the Sonnox Oxford Inflator. It seems to be pretty ubiquitous, and there's a lot of different opinions on the best way(s) to use it...

Respect !

I did the same as you, buying a bunch of Waves stuff at the beginning. I hardly ever use anything now except RBass, LinMB, Greg Wells and ReelADT.

"Why are you using such a terrible kick drum?" Fucking... it's a fine kick drum! Just happens to be a live one. Not some oversized already-processed edm library sample. Most of these people probably have never heard an actual kick drum before.

nice video.. tracks don't need to be mono may be you pull a mono Rbass in to a Stereo track ....

I understand charging for updates. They have to put work in to keeping it updated. I feel like its the same as finishing a mix for someone and then the artist coming back to you expecting a new version for Apple 3D audio thing for free. I don’t mind paying for updates but I hate subscription.

When they advertised at $29, Waves should have made it clear that it might possibly last only for your present system level. To not state this specifically, is tantamount to miss-selling and I believe is fraud in some countries. That's why I got caught out in on a mixing session years ago when almost every Waves plug-in disappeared. And since then I never touch them. The likes of more hones companies, keep the newer versions available for free! So don't become over-dependent on Waves subscription, 'cos one day they'll ask for more money.....

I can't help but laugh, how ironic you go back and correct yourself on a Waves plugin, literally helping and promoting them, and then they pull a 180 out of the blue 😂. I guess it's time for another Waves video 👀

Guess what the advert was for before the video started, the new subscription service. I don't think I've ever seen a worst reaction on Twitter than when they announced it. Although I wasn't on there when Trump got in

RIP

One thing I find interesting is that you are selecting the kick harmonics with different audible pitches, without any reference to what pitch you are accentuating and is it in the key of the song. I think this type of adjustment should be done at least while monitoring the bass to hear which harmonics work best with the bass.

I hope you make your $29 back from views, lol. It's a shame about Waves, RBass sounds great. So the hunt begins for a replacement.

Waves is trash izotope, blacksalt for rbass, native instruments for 1176, la2a, dbx160

Turn your mic on. please!
