Thanks for the heads up.
I prefer MV2 usually, but this is nice when needing more control(s).

One thing that sucks about Waves is lots of their plugins (like this) seem to dither to 24-bit, and you can't turn it off.
Adding low level noise can interfere with silence bypass etc. For example if you had StandardCLIP after it'll use CPU throughout even if there's only 5 seconds of audio on that track, whereas without the Waves noise it would bypass.

I also think it's also why some don't handle clipping well and you need to be more careful with gainstaging compared to a full 32-64-bit path for the whole chain.

 

1. strange link,
2. seems to have ended already

 

Link looks strange but got several Waves Maxx Volume licenses using it.

 

Nothing to be alarmed about.

irclickid is the tracking URL from Impact, used as a tracking ID for creators/influencers to track reach, clicks and such.
UTM codes help Google Analytics track analytics like reach and clicks.

 

Oh thanks you clearify that. For me as not internet egeenigring guy its totally helpful.

How you discovered such things? they don't send IT on newsletter.

 

worked for me, honestly I think like 80% of their library should be freeware at this point

 

They would be competing against themselves. Also, why say they are selling 50 useful plugins for $1000 instead of 250 plugins? Many of these companies use all these tired, old, cliche marketing tricks; but they use them because they still work. They would probably take them out of their bundle before they would make them freeware. If even just to not pay for the data transfers of them.

 

there are a lot of promotion services with special offers from developers.
e.g. bedroomproducersblog_com

 

Thanks Talula much easier to get this plug with your help

Worked here!

 

Interestingly, it's the same now...
