Yup larry, ol pal...finally got my email and now I see that $299 IS the special intro pricing.  Dern.  Guess I'll have to wait for the inevitable "crazy sale".  Or not.

Update to my previous post:  after trying the plugs in a new project, they magically started working.  Hmm ...
 
So far, I'm liking the reverb a lot.  Sounds better than other Waves reverbs ... will be comparing this to some of the other nice reverbs that have come out recently.
 
Cheers,
Eddie

$210....dang it...where's money when you need it?

I agree Eddie....the more I play with the Reverb the more I like it...

I need to spend more time with these b4 I flop down the cash...
and,  like Yorolpal....I'll probaly have to wait till the next extra super sale for this..
which, for this, probably won't be for while....at least it will give me time to work
with the demo's and see if I'm going to buy them or not....HA...whom I kidding...

These are some interesting plugins ... nice that the MM series seems more versatile as opposed to the other Artist Sig plugs which are meant to be instrument-specific. 

That being said, right now I'm seeing these more as time-savers than anything really new.  The reverb is good, but is it clearly better than, say, Valhalla?  So far, my ears are saying no.  What makes the MM reverb cool is the integrated compressor and other effects.  But unless you're really in a hurry, these can be added to any reverb separately. 
  
The other plugs are similarly well put together for common tasks, but could probably be replicated with other tools you already have.  I was able to do similar things with Waves' V-series EQs as the MM EQ did, for instance.  Same with the Triple-D.  The distortion box wasn't my cup of tea, and the Tone Shaper, while useful, didn't wow me but I did have some fun with the MM Delay plugin.  It includes a nice reverb, so this may be the best value of the bunch.  Looks like the plugs aren't available separately yet, though. 
  
Anyway, it's always good to have new tools out there. Kudos to Waves for keeping 'em coming. 
 
Cheers,
Eddie
 
 
EDIT:  after playing more with the EQ, I must say that whatever curves he's implemented in there, they do result in some good sounds.  This plug is a winner in my book.  Not that it's better than everything else, but if you could only have one "character" EQ, this would be a good choice.

Yup...I went to Tony's site (plugin discounts) logged into my account and put the MM sig in my cart.  And then...well...that was it.  There was no "continue to payment" button from there and nothing I hovered over would let me select anything.  In fact the whole site shows up kind of sketchy on my office laptop.  So...I couldn't (as yet) purchase.  I left a phone message with Tony and Im sure he'll get it straightened out.  It's probably something I wasn't seeing or doing.

Anyone else have any issues with their site?

His new site is still a little flakey ... the "next" button is invisible in IE but you can see it in Safari (for one).  Try hovering over the lower-right portion of the Summary window and your cursor may indicate the hidden link to the next page.  You should be able to finish up the transaction from there.  Good luck!

BTW, I'm liking these plugins ... I do believe they may be some of the most useful of the Artist series.  Definitely worth a demo at least.

Welp...got em purchased, downloaded, installed and scanned and although I only had time to pull up the guis to make sure they were there and haven't listened to them yet here's what I've already found out regarding my system.  At first I was loading a single plug into the FX bin of my Trillian audio track, checking it out, looking at the preset list, closing the gui, deleting it from the FX bin and then trying to load another into the same bin.  Everytime I tried to instantiate the second plug Sonar crashed.  I'd choose to close Sonar, log off and relog on, and reopen Sonar and try again.  I repeated these steps three times each time with the same result.  So, on the forth time I tried just loading every single plugin individually into the FX bin one right after the other. This, amazingly, worked fine.  No probs at all.  That's all I had time for but I'll check it out more this evening.  Next I'll try to add a plug to an FX bin, delete it, and then add another into a different FX bin and see if that crashes Sonar.  I just love a puzzle...don't you??
