Whelp. A comparo between Saturn and RBass is like Tommy Emmanuel versus me in a hot licks contest. Saturn will kick RBass to the curb and then some. While I use MaxxBass on occasion I think they've got RBass fairly priced. YMMV.

I'm reluctant to be critical of any freebie. It's like complaining about a birthday gift.
 
Certainly, comparing RBass to Saturn is not at all fair. However, RBass originally sold for nearly the same price as Saturn and has long been held in high regard by many "name" engineers (all of whom, I'm sure, paid full price for their Waves collection ;). The underlying algorithm has been licensed to boombox makers and laptop vendors to make tiny speakers sound better (I actually have a little bookshelf stereo with a button labeled "MaxxBass"). RBass claims to be big-time, so it's fair game for comparisons.


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

I really hate Waves weird security measures.  That alone will likely lead to me uninstalling this so-so plugin. Ironically, the people who have pirated versions don't have these issues.

I meant they have RBass reasonably priced NOW, Bit:-)

I would have to agree, I doubt it will ever be useful here, any use for it in the low range creates the kind of sub harmonics that cause a problem for me. I can get it to sound OK in the mid low but I would probably use VOG or something else. I agree free is a good price for that one. I agree with Dave in one of the threads here. Cosmos is already much more useful here.
 
Not the same with all the plugs from that bundle though IMO, though I've only had it for a week I'm confident Rvox will become my first choice for vocal compression. I have way too many vocal strips I rarely use. Nectar, Maserati, CLA, SSL duende.... all pretty good at what they do and I can find a sound I'm looking for in time. In every project I have, replacing those with Rvox has given me the sound I was looking for quickly. Though there are a few other waves plugs I don't really have a use for and let expire with version 8, there are a few that are mission critical here. Vocal rider, bass rider and now Rvox.
 
I already have some plugs from waves version 9 that are expired, a few like vocal rider I regard as mission critical. My diabolical plan is to stop buying waves plugs when the next version comes out and just stay with version 9.
 
Does anyone know if it is possible to run the WUP expired full version plugs, with version 8 protected by ilock and the plugs from version 9 protected by the new system at the same time?

The WUP is optional. You just won't ever get any updates without it, or without paying full price again. Or be able to talk to customer support.
 
I only have a handful of Waves products, and no WUP. Not being able to talk to Waves when they abruptly refused to work (twice so far) was an annoyance, but otherwise not an issue. I simply don't depend on those plugins.

 Cool Dave, I don't know why I never tried that before, but I was able to install the expired WUP plugs from version 8. Only L1, true verb and another mud maker called low air. Only 32 bit though, would be nice to have them in 64 bit but not nice enough to pay the WUP.
 
 I hear you about WUP and their very limited warranty That has kept me from spending more than $100 on any single purchase from them since I started.
