(I keep telling myself, THOSE will be worth it at least.) Am I on the right site? (actually that is something I plan on using) Oh and Abbey Road upgraded too from the few plugs I have. Still, somehow they got me for the Inspire collection. (basically the sub signal it generates sounds like it is 20-50 ms behind the incoming signal, making it very tubby sounding) Kind of disappointing about getting excited in the recent WUP I did, then seeing and hearing, for example, such a delay in their new Submarine plugin, that I just bought bx_subsynth instead to perform that duty. guess that ship sailed within the year I bought in.
I always thought I could sell my Mercury instantly for $1,200 if I needed to, and $1,500-1,600 very easily, perhaps even what I got it for during non-sale quarters.
You know what stings? Seeing how cheap it is to get Mercury right now! I thought I was getting rock bottom pricing just below $2,000 a few years back - now you can get Horizon for $250 at half off, and then immediately upgrade Horizon to Mercury for what seems to be $900-1,000.
Waves 9 was released in 2012, Waves 8 in 2011.
This is pure speculation, but it's also possible there may be a major Waves update coming out next year, which would make it important for WUP to be up to date. The low prices are to get people on this ladder. This is based on a number of comments I've seen on GS and other boards where people who buy Waves get walked up the bundle ladder. Now the user can pay the higher WUP for that or for a few bucks more, upgrade to the next bundle - and get a whole bunch more plugins. When the next WUP comes around, it's a higher price (because the user has that bundle he upgraded to). The user thinks, "Well if I'm going to pay that much for WUP, why not pay a few bucks extra and not only get WUP but get an additional X number of plugins too?" (less of a sting)
When WUP comes around, the user can pay for WUP (which stings) or, for just a little bit more, upgrade to a bundle. Once somebody is in the Waves ecosystem the screws start to turn. Low-prices pull people in, even when they feel they don't need any more plugins.
