Waves audio goes subscription with Waves Creative Access by Scott Simmons.
Yet another quality post-production tools company is going all in on the subscription model as Waves audio goes subscription with Waves Creative Access.
If you’re not familiar with Waves you’re missing out on some of the best audio mixing plug-ins out there and while they are stalwarts of the audio industry, many video editors sing their praises as their tools can be accessed in pretty much all NLEs.
I’ve used both the Renaissance Compressor and Vocal Rider for years as they make fast work of a lot of audio mixing and they work really well.
While their somewhat draconian licensing has often been a pain when it comes to moving between machines the company has always offered support when needed and the tools work really well.

Customer who is disappointed by this Move dig deep into this one and I have To say that is one who only uses a few Third-party audio plugins these tweets Expresses my thoughts pretty well and Honestly I've thought the same about the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription as Well I definitely think the wave's Creative Aces program isn't really for Video editors who don't spend near the Time or money on audio plugins that Audio mixers and Engineers do perhaps They can justify yet another Subscription cost but not me does anyone Know of a good alternative to vocal Writer Foreign [Music]
