A persistent complaint: hate paying for WUP (ongoing service & plug ugrades when needed due to operating systems changes.)

And no comments that these are a better investment than other links in the chain. No comments that these non-specialty plugins are life-changing. (including: great emulations, very good free, or paid that have come a long way since Waves was hot) Or, look elsewhere for the best of all that's out there.

Others, variably, says stock is fine, or just as good they use Waves because they already owned it pre-S1. Some think some in the gold bundle are very good, are used all the time, even have features not in stock plugs. My overall impression from comments here and also on another audio board are: Still figuring this out, I think I'm close
