Months before this news, I was already buying external hardware such as the WA TB 12, (2) of the WA 73 EQ, (2) of the WA 76, WA 2a, topped off with the Tegeler Creme, for my mix buss, and mastering. The Tegeler Creme is RIDICULOUSLY Amazing! This decision has certainly been quite expensive, however- my recording quality has been so much better, and with this Waves news, I am very happy to be semi 'off of the grid'. As far as plug ins go- Arturia makes some GREAT stuff, as well. I LOVE their reverb plate, their Tape Delay. Also, their keyboard, and synth sounds, are second to NONE! Arturia Pigments is 'jaw-dropping' AMAZING, just with the presets in there. Arturia is not a subscription based plug in.

When I stopped using Waves I switched entirely to Slate Digital instead. The slate collection has all of the same analog emulations that Waves has, so there's no extra learning curve for Waves users.
