Quick audio engineering tip (which no one asked for):
If you ever see Waves giving away one of their plugins as part of a promotion—don't be afraid to snatch them up before the promotion ends
Waves plugins aren't worth buying (in my opinion) because of their upgrade plan (which costs more than the plugins themselves), their inability to catch up to their competitors, and their business practices.
And also, Waves' prices are a lie since they're always on perpetual sale, and are merely just bait.
That being said, their plugins aren't bad—it's just that there's a lot more competition in the space (from companies with better business practices) now. Spend your hard-earned money on something like
Plugin Alliance,
Solid State Logic,
Pulsar,
sonible,
Fabfilter,
MeldaProduction, etc., and you'll be happy with your purchase.
Or better yet, Analog Obsession makes some
killer plugins for free (you can support them on their
Patreon) and/or just use your DAW's stock plugins until you know what you're doing.
Also, you don't have to pick up Waves plugins if you don't want to...which would be better since you're saving yourself from the hassles of Waves.
