Working around the Waves Update plan - waves central overview
If you've ever noticed the fact that waves have some form of sale on for 365 days of the year you'll also probably know that whenever you buy a cheap plugin, you get support and updates to that plugin for a year after purchase. After that point waves want you to update your plugin and thye have a tendency of updating their Waves Central software annually to ensure that if you don't take steps you could end up forking out an additional couple of hundred quid for the pleasure of re-installing the software.
When making this video, to bring all my outdated plugins up to the most current version, it would cost me $240 for another year of updates. IN this video I talk about how I install offline installers onto a usb stick so I don't have to rely on their online installers.
