I think it is amazing your old products still work. It is true as long as we do not update we are fine. So you are saying unless we get to a point where the daw or operating system no longer supports the plug in version there is no benifits in updating to
the latest version? I guess my thing is it would be great if the new version was actually better then the old as in new features just not compatibility. It would be nice to see some revamped or added saturation knobs or filetrs on the plugins as a drop
down menu so that we can mangal a plugin. Like a standard mode and an over saturated waves features mode. Add a hidden spectrograph window to all the eq plugins that slide out from the side so we can see how the plugin is affecting the source. Add a midi
learn mode that works with the daw so we can map the plugin controls to any controller. It just seems like there is no real reason to update and no added value besides some new skins and presets. All that saidā¦I still love my Waves plugins and love
the $29 sales you all run. Thanks for making those purchases well worth the investment.

We will never change the sound or controls of a released plugin.
Why?
Because if we did - the next time you open you saved mix or session after updating it wonāt sound the sameā¦ and probably not for the better.
We take pride in NOT changing functionality or sound in version updates to maintain backwards compatibility.
Did that in the Renaissance EQ plugin 
but not allā¦
I am so glad you love our plugins - so do we!
This is some good stuff but presets and new skins donāt seem to be much of a reason to update. I get the on going support but again that is only at the point when one has to. Thanks for the new analyzers that is a good addition if one has those specific
plugins. Eq curve support for Protools is great. NKS support is great again if one owns that hardware. It would be much better if any controller could be mapped. That qould be boss. I did not mean change the plug in native sound. That would not be
good for recall as you say but add some functions that can be switched on and off. Like a native mode and an enhanced functionality mode so that the native is still the same as the original but with added functions. I cant make plugins so maybe thats undoable
with out changing the sound. Just a thought. As lfor price my Scheps 73 was$ 29 and to renew it is $17. The cost to update is more than half the price new. (I) just feel that is expensive for ongoong support of a purchased product. But i may
be alone in that feeling. Im not sorry i bought anything and will continue to use my Waves plugings and buy what i need. I just think the update cost is a bit much. Thanks for replying and being attentive to your customers.
Technically most, if not all their plugins are worth much more than $29. Letās just say they were though, since thatās what we would pay for them anywayā¦
You can actually save more money if you WUP plugins together, but thatās if their accumulative WUP exceeds the cap. I forget what it is, $240??
Adversely, you could always look at spending the money on upgrading to a bundle that contains your plugins. If done at the right time, you can pick it up for quite cheap. Your WUP will be refreshed and youāll get more plugins to go along with it.
