It's nice to get such a price reduction on this bundle but how is it that Waves and Cakewalk can be said to be collaborating when Waves don't even test their plugins for Cakewalk Sonar compatibility.

See email advert for this special:
" Cakewalk and Waves have put together a special holiday offer to celebrate the collaborative spirit between both companies."

Are the issues between sonar and waves resolved now?

I can only speak for myself, but since X3c I haven't had any issues with WAVES in Sonar.
 
Using VST3 exclusively from WAVES now ...
 
Oh wait, there was one minor GUI issue with the NLS that WAVES support resolved within an hour.
 

Thanks for update. Hope a few others chime in because there were several reported issues with waves plugins. Perhaps fixed with X3c.??

I cannot find this special anywhere other than your link. You say you got it in an email? Why am I not getting these emails? Is everyone else?

I got the email.
 
I'm scratching my head. I want to buy them. I'm not sure if I'll use them.

yea, I got the email yesterday.

My waves issues cleared up with X3c as well.

I already own the Waves Ren Max bundle and I really like it and, yes, it's working fine for me in X3c.
I have to say though, before X3, the Waves plugs got used on everything. However, with all the new stuff we've been given in the Sonar X series, the Waves stuff sees less use than ever before.
As far as the Cakewalk email goes..... I never got it. I know a while back they had some major issues with their email where lots of registered users were not getting them. Hope it's not getting back to that again!

To all those considering to buy the offer pls note that WAVES has individual plugs and bundles on sale every month. so it's worth checking their sales or getting on their mailing list. especially the renaissance plugs are included in many other bundles, so maybe double check before you buy (you might get more for little extra money?).

Waves has been ok in 3c for me as well. I love the Renaissance bundle, I think it's one of their best value for money bundles. I use RComp, RVox and RDeesser all the time, and RBass, RAxx and IR-L somewhat less frequently. Renaissance Channel and REQ are good, but probably not really relevant anymore. The more software compressors I hear, the more convinced I am how good RComp is. For me, nothing that comes with Sonar is even close. I do also have CA2A and do think that's excellent, but a different style and not nearly as versatile.



Recently I upgraded from Renaissance to Diamond, which has also been on sale. I'm happy with the L-series especially, and there are a few other good ones in there, but nothing near the ratio of the Renaissance bundle. Just my 2c.
