When I got back into DAWs people warned me to stay away from Waves.

I'm glad I listened.

A similar thing happened with Bitwig a few months ago. 

They had the opposite in that if you pay the subscription you got everything they made, but they suddenly released something you were expected to pay extra for and people were very unhappy about it.

Eventually they went back on it and included it as a free update, but a couple of prominent YouTubers (Venus Theory and Ben Jordan) cut ties with them over it and I think a few people cancelled their subscriptions.

Ha! It was clearly me uninstalling my one plugin 2nd license that sent them into panic mode!

Yes, I am pleased they rolled this one back.

Well that was a big foot cannon.

Glad they've seen sense quickly.

Those people rioting over in Paris could possibly learn something from the Waves plugin community.

Was tempted to upgrade from 12 Ultimate to 14 CE, but thought better of it and just went for Ultimate.

Plugin Alliance are knocking £20 off any plugins for the next 47 hours.
This means you can pick up some items for nothing 
I picked up the bx_Bassdude which is priced at £19.99 for free by using the code SUMMER-20-OFF at the checkout.
