I have a new set up, and because it involves a new OS - I need to update the plugins to V13.Problem is I don't have my update plan subscription anymore (cause it expires after a year).So in order to update my plugins - I need to pay 240$ for the update plan.Ģ40 fucking dollars. I think the software is amazing and I'm totally dependent on it as a producer / engineer.Although - I feel like Waves' treatment of their consumers is greedy and not transparent.I never really thought it would bother me that much, but now I feel like Waves is taking advantage of me.I bought the Diamond pack plus some single plugins.

I use Waves software on a daily, on literally every project. Currently looking at either a Harmonic Booster or B3K from Darkglass to add to my bass pedalboard.TL DR - a Karen rant about Wave's transparency about 'owning' your software.

The good news is, I do have space for one more pedal. It's not the most stable I'd say for sure given how velcro isn't as strong as hardware mounts that the Truetone and Cioks power supplies use, but given how the Voodoo Lab X4 doesn't come with hardware mounts, I figured that velcro is better than nothing. So after careful experiments, I've relented that the best decision would be to mount the X4 underneath the pedalboard. I've tried to mount the power supply on top however, there were a lot of logistical issues due to the amount of space I had, where I'd either have cables running from all angles that can cause potential trip hazard during live shows, or I'd have to place the tuner or compressor on an angle in weird places, which can lead to further issues down the road. I wanted to use a more stable power supply for my Strymon's since under heavy power load, the Voodoo Lab X4 struggles a lot.

So I've recently reorganized my bass rig.
