V9 rocks here - Nuendo starts in seconds. Plugins load quickly. Not missing Pace one bit. WUP’ing all these plugs (I have the complete collection that I have built over many many years) for $200 - have not been sorry about that either - seems like a pretty good deal. Only problem is keeping up with all the new plugs features and finding them in the massive plug list that pops up for selection…
Just in case you didn’t pick up on it: Waves Universe will actually be cheaper than Waves, even for the WUP…
Thanks, Breeze.
I haven’t bought WUP, yet. I’ll check it out. Thanks for the tip.
Btw, can single waves plugs be kicked out of the list? Never tried…

WUP was 20 $ cheaper, which is great!
Bundle prices are slightly higher than the net prices ( VAT refund for Companies ) over here.
But their special offers are certainly worthwhile to check out.

Hm … these website don’t use “https”. To insecure to write in my personal data …
well… I just did the upgrade (not on the DAW, just in the waves-account)… I would say that 200 EUR is quite fair for an ALL upgrade till 28 Feb 2014… Its only the second time that I spend upgrade-monay since I am owning the Diamond bundle, usually I wait one or two years till the WUP expires… I don’t have a problem with the Waves upgrade philosophy… I even recieved a voucer of exactly those 200 bucks - well, cool! If you keep in mind that some extra plugins are now included in Diamond (that guitar software and some other stuff) everything is just fine for me.
What I like and hate is that constant “blow-out” - allmost without any break they are blowing out most of the stuff 50% off… Well, thats cool and my waves collection keeps growing because of that, but it is somewhat sad to see the Diamond Bundle for 1400 USD (1100 EUR?!) - I payed about 3500 EUR for it years ago, purchasing a box in a store.
Oh, another thing - does anyone know if there is/will be an iLok with integrated USB storage?
I recently just merged 3 iLoks on one iLok 2 to have things cleaned up a litte- that was just 2 weeks bevore they released V9… Now I have two dongles again - three - elicencer, iLok and USB stick… I am mainly talking about mobile use… on the DAW I do not care about the number of USB sticks… So an iLok with integrated USB Stick would be awesome
