Waves just advertised CLA on Facebook at $149 as the lowest price ever...

most definitely the lowest since I've been monitoring it...that's why I bought it...

Manny's release must be close...

Waves has taken an interesting turn as a company.  Once upon a time their pricing was unreachable for many home recordists.  Today they are roping us in with these deals by the droves.  Speaks to the fact that pro studios are declining and we are the future of waves.

Also a couple of years ago on just about any home recordist site, Waves was quite reviled.  As I read here, there is now a lot of love for them.  "My go to plugs, etc." 

Disclaimer- I upgraded to Horizon last week and love it!

That is very true Munmun....several years ago I could only have wished for Waves...and I was making really good money then..
Now I have Platinum, the Studio Collection, 3 of the Signatures, and a whole lot more...

They were reviled for being so expensive...and that created "Exclusivity"...

Another reason is that Competition for them has skyrocketed...so it was either adapt or fail.

It all benefits (??? - ) us.

But the things we can do NOW in our Home Studios were impossible just a few years ago
without hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment.

I see they have Element on sale too - $99.

Has anyone tried it yet? Happy with it?

I have element and I am very happy with it.
If you like to tweak it has many options.
I was going to try to record with it today new rock band to fill their sound.
Let you know how it goes.

Cool! I am looking for something that can replace Thor from Reason - which I won't upgrade and can't re-wire anymore. I wonder if Element can compare. Have you tried Thor? It looks pretty cool and sounds just about right from the demo sounds

No complaints here. Easy to use & on cpu; nice sound overall & as expected for this type of synth.

I've heard complains that it's noisy but I haven't noticed it.

I got it as part of Mercury & probably wouldn't buy it piece meal. I'm glad I have it now, it's getting used in quite a few of my current projects.

Seems pretty good. Yeah, $200 was a bit of a stretch but for $99 it seem  a whole lot more interesting

You still have a few weeks to look for it reduced but I've seen it for around $85.00 at the online stores.

Yeah, I'll surf around a bit. I haven't found it at any retailers over here so it have to be a online download purchase for me
