I've played with GTR3 for a while. Really liked it. To me sounded way better than Guitar Rig 5, which I've been using for practicing. Overall I think the presets sounded very similar to the ones in my Digitech RP500 pedalboard, which are really good IMHO.
What I really did not like was the licensing scheme. I have to stick a flash drive into USB in this Ultrabook, which does not have an ethernet card and the license manager does not let the Wireless interface to be used as a device. This is annoying.
Have a couple of days to decide. Cheers,
Fabio

You do not have to use a USB with Waves anymore, you can license the computer directly. But if you want to use them on more than one computer, you need to either unlicense one to do the other, or put them on a USB.

I may well be wrong, but the choice is license to PC or to the cloud (enabling you to move license).
but when licensing to PC, i think i needed a USB. I thought it worked once to my wireless USB, but then later realised I had a USB at the back. When i tried to license Waves without a USB, no dice.

You have licenses in the cloud, and when you license a computer, you take them from the cloud and they go to a computer or USB. To do another computer, you either use the usb or move them from the computer back to the cloud to be moved to the next computer.

That's a really good coupon. Seems a shame not to use it, but I'm not sure what I'd want. I'm leery about buying plugins because it can become a huge toilet to flush your money down, especially if you're a hobbyist.
I'm leaning toward the API 550 eq because it's low-cost and low-risk for me. Can someone give me an idea if that's a good buy? I'm not familiar with API products. Reaeq has been very useful to me. I think it sounds great, but I do like the vintage sounds.

I use the 550 a lot, it's very good, but as a free alternative you may want to consider SlickEQ in American mode.

So guys what did you get with your 50.00 code voucher,
I was slowly checking out all the deals and sales and really wanted something I knew I would use often, so I got these bad boys http://www.waves.com/plugins/api-550
I thought it could add a bit of character to my mixes I love trying out different EQs on different instruments so i think these would come in handy.
it worked out with the sale price plus the code i paid £18.42 uk regular price is 250.00 dollars yer I think I got a deal.
So come on guys what you get

You would have saved another $5 if you had bought through Audio Deluxe.
I havent found anything I want! Am I cured of plugin lust?

I did stop buying for a while, but these waves stuff are really good deals and your not getting rubbish, your some pretty hot plugins to experiment with and use.
Audio Deluxe that a nice site sells every thing even vid software

Speaking of this particular plugin, how might it work with saxophone for instance? Just a thought. Both voice and sax are wind instruments as so to speak, so I wonder would nectar suite suit a wind instrument like sax?

Is Waves' CLA-2A really any better than the Rocket? Anybody got any experience?
Not really seeing anything else that's catching my eye. Or ear. You know what I mean. Already have Waves Tune, it's great, and already use one of DMG Audio's EQs which really kind of end the EQ Holy Grail search once you've used them.
If I don't end up getting anything I'll offer up my code here to someone so at least it doesn't go to waste.

I'm considering picking up the Musicians 2 bundle since it would just be $30, but I'm just really not sure I need it since I have iZotope Alloy 2 and Nectar 2...
Also they give you the $50 voucher but then raise the price of the plugins as I've seen the Musicians 2 bundle available pretty frequently for $59 (not $79).

All the waves "on sale" stuff also has a sliding discount on top of the sale price according to the email I got.
30% off second one, 35% off 3, 40% off four and you still get to use your voucher.
Really pissing me off I cant find anything I want.
I already bought GTR the RenMaxx bundle and a few others on special special - dont think I paid over $30 for any of them including the RenMaxx bundle!
Only need 2 more OneKnob plugs to have gotten the whole package free!
Selective shopping at waves can save you a bunch, which I why I ran out of cheap ones to buy.
And I am too cheap to buy the expensive ones

They're very different, but complimentary. The rocket is a fast FET style comp, good for catching peaks and smashing drum room mics, the LA2 is an opto style with a more relaxed attack and release, good for smooth levelling and vocals.
I often use them in combination on things like vocals.

Meh. The only use I'm really thinking of is for smashing the low end of some bass tracks into a nice solid wall of growl, and the Rocket is filling that need better than anything else in my toolbox at the moment.
Anybody got anything they might want to trade for my code?

Never really thought of that I can only imagine you would be fine
Necter suit production is pretty powerfull but when you think of it the human voice can sound like a sax or trumpet, also the human voice is the most difficult instrument to handle so I think any programming designed for the human voice is more than able to handle any type of instrument wind or electric

API 550s are my favorite EQ plugins. At $29 ($79- $50coupon), it's a fantastic deal for 2 high quality plugins. API is very well known name, along side SSL, Neve, and a few others, and has been in the game for a long time. API may be best known for handling drums and other transient rich material, giving a meaty thickness to the low/low-mids..."punch". An interesting idea about them are the limited controls. So you can boost/cut by 2, 4, 6, 9, or 12dB. Each of those moves has a different curve - proportional curve. Do some reading on that. It's interesting. Also, the limits in dB and frequency serve me extremely well creatively. They force me to make fast decisions... it's either 40 or 50 Hz... decide and move on. Besides that, this plugin is CPU friendly, so it's easy to slap it across every track as a starting point/basic fx chain.
Kirk - they are solid tools. I know Veteran engineers who reach for the Waves 550's ITB. I know there's 19 hours left on the sale offer.
EDIT - just as a side note... I really appreciate the SLICKEQ and several features that it offers. I still love the API 550s though.

Thanks for the advice! Much appreciated!
I ended up going with the V-Comp as it was even more low-risk for me. At $25CAD for a Neve-style compressor, it was a no-brainer. I'm going to play with SlickEQ for awhile.

I was thinking of these two bad boys even before the sale and coupon ,
I have played with them on vocals only and with out touching the dail the difference was very pleasing,
I'm yet to give them a good run on my stems and from what I here so far it is making me very exited to get them in use

Well, crap. Now I'm second-guessing my decision.

Awesome. I'm sure they'll have another sale.
I really wanted the REDD plugin, but I'd bet it's a CPU monster.
I'd love to have more emulations of the older tube gear from North America and the UK. I'm talking 50s and 60s, rather than 60s and 70s. This isn't to say I don't love the sweet airy cleans of Pink Floyd, but my ears are happiest curled up in the thick tube sofas of the earlier stuff. Tube desks and ribbon mics are the holy grails for me.

Little AlterBoy and Little Primal Tap are on sale for $49, but I don't know if the voucher applies since I've already used mine (on Bass Rider).
