I mean, it doesn't even say it's an installer, it seriously looks like malware (I don't think it is, but man does it look sketchy). So, like a dope I clicked "OK" and guess what happened? Nothing.

Fuck off Waves, I'm done with you.

nice... very mature...
fuck off Waves for giving us free stuff because I can't be bothered to read instructions...

I *paid* for a plugin and have been struggling all week to install it

its a pain in the ass-licensing/installer.
hopefully they will find a better balance
between security/copy-protection and
user-friendliness.

what's the problem?

I have followed the installation instructions meticulously; but the plugin does not appear in Live. Have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Will try one more time tonight, and if it does not work, I will ask for my money back

I earn Rands, and USD 50 at current rates is a fairly large whack of money to pay for absolutely fuck-all.

didn't work.
the plug in appears in live,
but when I put it on a chanel,
there's a licence error message
and that's it.

I don't think this promo stunt
did a very good job for waves'
reputation....

did you activate the license with the WLC app?

Do you guys think it might pay to buy a pack and then sell it later on ebay?

Finally got mine installed and registered after having to re-install and re-register a couple of times.

Pretty slick device - does exactly what it says on the tin. Not sure how it does it, precisely, but it definitely gives some low-end oomph.

often the problem is sitting before the monitor.
in case of audio-figured DAW`s with different admins rights,
different folder-setups, different hardware, bitrates, jbridegs ect.
sometimes its just difficult to install, what on other machines
work flawless. Dont forget about unabled services, registry-tweaks
here a box jacked, there one unchecked...
woomBOOM chaos if something dont work, so never touch it, if it runs.
