Unlike the previous reviewer, when I upgraded my version 3 Gold bundle last year to version 6 I only had to pay $199. The upgrade fee also included Rennaissance Maxx, and today I'm using version 7 without any additional expense on my part.
I have plugins from other developers, but often come back to using Waves. For me they have been relatively easy to use, with good sound quality, and not too taxing on my computer (G5 Dual 2 GHz PPC).
Back when I purchased version 3 it came with many printed manuals. It really helps to read them in order to take advantage of the software's capabilities. These days PDF versions are included. With approximately 25 included plugins its a good idea to become familiar with the Waves interface and operation, since this knowledge (e.g., A/B, copy, paste, presets, fine adjustments, etc.) perhaps applies to every included plugin.
The bundle includes a couple of reverbs, delays, compressors, equalizers, an analyzer, and more. I hate that it requires an iLok, and the initial price for Waves plugins can be expensive. Still, the upgrade is capped at $200 and it includes any additional plugins added to the bundle.
If you have an iLok you can try the demo. I won't go through each plugin in this review, but the 1-star rating seemed a bit unfair so I decided to post my experience, which also includes receiving great customer support from Waves.Get more detail about Waves Gold Native Bundle, Hybrid CD Win/Mac.
