(my apologies if this is a recently discussed topic: my news browser
doesn't keep much history...)

long time reader. occasional poster.


Am a current PT Mix system... am 'upgrading' of sorts to current PT 6.x LE
with a Digi 002 (will handle my voxover needs just fine)

Waves tells me 2 things: i need to upgrade my Waves Gold bundle from 3.x
'TDM' version to current 5.x version for 'Native/RTAS', which I understand
just fine. Also, sign up for WUP plan, which appears confusing & costly.

I'd ask my local dealer for details, but he gave up couple yrs back... and
Swee****er is pretty slooooow on the returned phone call thus far.


Do I understand the WUP plan to be an annual fee...??
(Waves website generated an 'upgrade' fee close to 40% of new purchase
price. seems kinda steep. or does this fee slide for add'tl years...)

Because Waves authorizes via iLok, if one doesn't pay the WUP fee annually,
does that affect authorization...??


If WUP fees prove to be outrageous, am in need of recommendations for other
RTAS plugs for my world of voiceovers, specifically:

EQ with visual display of curve. McDSP?? Focusrite??

Reverb



digi 002 comes with Bomb Factory compression plugs & Maxim for limiting, so
I think i'll be set in this area... unless you r.a.p. guys tell me they
suck...


thanks for your input.
