Waves are losing so many customers because of this.

hey, do you prefer move to luna? or still stay in protools?

Great information! Quick question: If I have a bundle (V9) and "upgrade" to the same bundle (V15), does it upgrade the whole bundle to the latest version or only the plugins that were added to the bundle after V9? If this works, it seems it's a cheaper solution than using the Waves Update Plan.

For anyone watching, this stream was really a trial for me to try luna, there are a few instances where I forgot to unmute my mic after playback. I was looking for something to duck this for me. Let me know your thoughts. Personally as a first proper run through for mixing I was pretty impressed. I like having the A800 as an extension but I'm not really using any of the other extensions in Luna. I could see myself using this more often in the future

7:05 he is talking about me 😊😊😊

I am so ready for this video! :)

Hmmmm. the 1 and 2 keys on the number keypad don't have that same behavior for me. Wish it did! Maybe I'm doing something wrong(?) 1 rewinds, 2 does nothing and 3 fast forwards. Any thoughts?

Hi again Jon, sorry to bother you again, just wanted to let you know that I did in fact find out how to attenuate automation changes on individual faders… It was there all along. I just didn't see it… Yet another senior moment. Haha :) Wish you the very best… Thank you

Sorry Jon, I forgot to mention ... I'm trying to use the sigma writing all the automation on 1 track in Pro Tools. I just don't know how to edit any level/volume changes while using only 1 track? Is it possible to use the sigma control 16 plugin with 16 tracks in Pro Tools? Ugh.., haha :) THANK YOU for your time Jon! Be safe... a

Hi Jon, I hope I'm not disturbing you. I've watched this clip over and over trying to get as much insight as possible. You do a GREAT job!! I'm just wondering Jon, is it possible to do 'offline' volume changes in the sigma? In normal mix automation mode one can normally attenuate the level of certain section/tracks up/down incrementally in decibels… i've tried to research it, but haven't been able to find an answer? For instance… If I wanted to boost a vocal after hardware compression for three words, is there a way to move the sigma fader post processing for those few words without risking, ruining the automation on that track before and after the off-line edit by having to do it on the fly? It would be great to punch in the start and end point of where you want the vocal attenuated. Thank you for your help.! Keep up the great work! I know you're probably busy… But I'd love to see more ... haha :) Bye for now ... a

YES! Please make a "how to"-video on the process and settings you've made in ProTools, SRC and others....;-) Are you also able to configure one layer on the UF8 controlling PT faders and Layer to having Sigma's faders on it and the being able to simply switch between controlling PT and Sigma?

Why, just why for heavens sake do all digitally recallable outboard summing mixers no have any sends what so ever, how the hell am I supposed to mix without aux sends?

Thank you very much for this , Is there a way to avoid clip color changing on selection of playlists or reordering of tracks. I want ProTools just to keep the colors that were assigned initially. Thank you for your help

Hi Jon! I love the content. I've just added a Sigma to my setup, replacing my 2-BUS+ (sounded great, but no direct outs and made printing stems a pain). I've got the whole UF8, UC1, and UF1 setup going and after watching your video I can see that you're controlling the Delta Control plugin from the Plugin menu with the faders flipped. I'm doing the same, however, I can't access Sigma's 9-16 channels. I'm only seeing 8 "pages" and they're controlling everything from 1-8. But it stops short of 9-16. However, I'm seeing that you're able to control 9-16. What am I doing wrong?

this is was so helpfull, thank you Jon <3

Ayooo Thank u a lot

Hi Jon, this was very helpful. Especially the tip about using the key commands to disable plug ins when tracking. One quick doofy question: how do we return to waveform view with this key command technique?

Great video, thanks a lot. Sorry if I missed a part, im not an English native speaker but is there a way that the console 1 follow the track you select on the UF8 ?

Stop rushing thru this shit bruh come on.... How do I change the color of an individual track

Is there a key command to change the color of the tracks and clips to the same color that you want or do you have to change the clips and tracks separately?

4:51 You say SSL did some good videos on how to set up this. Where is the link you are talking about?

Thanks boss <3

Hey Jon, wanna know how the Sigma is in 2023? Is SSL still providing support for new MAC os? The prob with the newer m2 macs is that it comes shipped with Ventura.

Hi Jon, I just discovered you and your channel. I really enjoy your insight!! Well done!! I’m just curious Jon, I know there are no inserts across the individual inputs/outputs of the sigma, how would use or connect external hardware compressors? THANK YOU and keep up the GREAT work!!!

My art vla and liquid channel far far better

Good video - well done with good content. But, you slur your words - slow down and be more intelligible

Holy f*ck, that was pointless droning and of no use, whatsoever! Here's an idea, get right to the point, don't digress into minutiae and UNNECCESARY COMMENTARY, then wrap it up. The whole video probably should have been about 2 minutes in length. F*ck, man!

THeir model of making users hustle with the licensing - is the worst on the market. Ideally I need to just replace their VSTs with someone else's

Hello, I'm searching exactly this and I don't found information... Please could you help me to configure my UF8 with Sigma Remote control? Please...

Hello. I own a ssl uf8 and ssl sigma also. Can you show how you've gotten the uf8 to control the sigma please? That's great. I really love my sigma

Not gonna lie, I am extremely grateful for the new model. It makes Waves less prohibitively expensive on buy in. I have to sit on "outdated" plugins, but so long as you know how to work around the updates, you end up with what was once considered a world class plugin at a price that doesn't require selling an organ to afford. I wouldn't own any of them if it wasn't for their new business model.

Setup Guide I decided to set up a separate mixing/mastering station in my studio using SSL equipment. I purchased a UC1, UF8, Fusion, Bus+ and Big Six. I have been using Reaper for about ten years but am not a power user. I have relied a lot on Kenny Gioia's video tutorials. My goal was to get all of the SSL pieces working together with Reaper. Unfortunately SSL does not fully support Reaper in setting up the UC1 and UF8. So I had to wade in (over my head) into getting Reaper and the SSL equipment, the Big Six, UC1 and UF8 configured so that they would function together. SSL's technical support was responsive but they did not have knowledge of Reaper. I could not find any RUclips videos or other information on how to configure all the this equipment together. So I decided I would offer a few comments on what eventually worked for me. The SSL User Manuals are very good in explaining the functions of the equipment. The Fusion and Bus+ provide no particular connection or configuration issues. They are easy to set up and operate. The SSL User manuals and RUclips videos for the Big Six, UC1 and UF8 explain how to physically connect each piece to a computer (in my case a Windows 11 pc). They also do a good job of explaining how to download the software - 360 plug in mixer, Channel Strip 2, Channel Strip 4k b and Bus Compressor 2. The only difficulties I encountered in this were due to my total inexperience with using iLok software manager. But the process worked fine. So I suggest that one follow the SSL videos and User Guides. Just one comment. The Channel Strip 2, Channel Strip 4k b and Compressor 2 are VST's and it is best to allow the SSL downloader to put these in the default folder - which is the Steinberg VST Plugins folder. Pay attention to Reaper's warning that VST plugins should not be placed in the Reaper plugin/FX folder along with the standard Reaper plugins. With regard to the USB connections, I offer the following advice. Use either the USB cables that SSL provides or very high quality cables. Do no use any USB cables longer than 1 ½ meters. Do not use a hub for any connection. Connect the UC1 USB cable from the UC1 to the UF8 “thru” USB input (which is a USB type A input). Run a USB cable from the UF8 USB output (which is a USB type C connector) to your computer. Connect the Big Six USB output to a separate USB connection on your computer. After all the SSL software is installed, go to Options > Preferences > Audio > Midi Devices. A table will pop up. There will be a table listing twelve SSL V MIDI Ports for Input and under that there is a table listing twelve SSL V MIDI Ports for Output. Under the Mode column of each table, enable all twelve ports. Do this by right clicking each port under Mode column. A window will pop up. Click enable. Do this for all input and outputs. Twelve MIDI Inputs and twelve MIDI Outputs are therefore enabled. I do not know if it is necessary to enable all twelve outputs and inputs but that is what I did and it works for me. Right click again on the SSL V-MIDI Port 1 line in the input table. The small window will again pop up. Click on “Enable input for control messages.” You do not have to do this (and cannot do it) for the SSL V-MIDI Port 1 line in the output table. Go to Preferences > Options > Control/OSC/web. Under the blank window, click Add. Another blank window will pop up. There will be a line titled “Control surface mode.” Click on the small down arrow to open up another window with a list of options. Select Mackie Control Universal. (If you are using more than one UF8, I think you also need to select Mackie Control Extender, but since I only have one UF8 I do not know for sure). Click OK at the bottom of the window. I suggest at this point that you restart your computer. Then turn off everything - the computer, the Big Six, UF8, UC1, Bus+ and Fusion. Then I do the following: The order is important. Turn on the UF8 and UC1. Turn on your computer. Start Reaper. Open the SSL 360. Check that the Options setting described above are sill there. Open a new track and ensure that you can find and open the Bus Compressor 2, Channel Strip 2 and Channel Strip 4k b. Turn on the Big Six. Ensure that the USB connection light in the upper right of the Big Six is on. (If you turn on the Big Six before turning on Reaper, the UC8 will not be happy and will pout. It will essentially refuse to talk with you or do anything at all except sit there with a blank stare on its face). In the SSL 360 software, choose Logic Pro for Layer 1. There is no option to choose Reaper. Reaper is not fully supported in this manner - er, not supported at all. (I have seen that someone chose to use Studio One instead of Logic Pro, and this might work. However, SSL technical support recommends using Logic Pro. Most of the soft keys in SSL 360 are already programmed with commands that correspond to Logic Pro commands. Some of these work with Reaper and some do not. I chose to reprogram all of the SSL 360 soft keys. It is very easy to do. Moreover, I did not really like most of the commands that were per-programmed anyway. The SSL 360 video and the SSL User Guide for the 360 are very good at showing how to program the soft keys. I found it actually fun. So, for me everything is happy working together. I find it remarkable that the 360 mixer, UC1, UF8, Channel Strip 2, Channel Strip 4k b and Bus Compressor 2 plugins all correspond to each. When a control is moved in one, it immediately shows in all the others. Pretty cool I think. I also like that the transport controls in SSL 360 work. I duplicate these controls in the first group of soft keys on the UF8. I have also programmed the soft keys to do such things as save, open new project, metronome, undo and redo, snap and unsnap, etc. I like using these instead of resorting to my mouse. But everyone will have a different approach to all of this. The outside plugin controls on the UF8 do not work with Reaper but SSL has been very clear about this, and to me it is not a big deal.

I think the Waves update plan is Greedy I wish I had known about their update scam before because I never would have bought anything to begin with, It'll cost me 300 dollars to update all my Waves plugins to get them to function now, and that's not ever going to happen. I'd rather buy something else in the future, then to keep paying for something I've already bought. Greed.

You said near the end that you recommend putting plugins on the flashdrive, did you just mean the licences or were you saying something else? Also does the offline installer on the flashdrive mean you no longer need to bother with any versions of Waves Central? And is offline installation easy? Is it possible to ensure that Windows 11 NEVER gets installed on my computer and will Windows 10 operate forever or will it eventually fail (sorry not very au fait with computing) Thanks

Im never ever going to spend more money on Waves

They uninstall my plugin

Do do you need a constant internet connection to do this? Not getting it.

I fucked up and updated waves central to v 13.4.1 and now my v10 plug ins wont open ,how do I just go back to 10 fuck this

how many months of Slate digital can you get for $250?. Waves want $97 for me to update my gold plugins, was thinking of switching to slate anyway so think i'll give that a go.

Hey Jon, I need a bit of help… I bought and installed the wave tuner real time (a v 14 plugin) on wave central and it says that i have the full time license yet the activate button is disabled, how can I transfer it to the c drive and get it to activate?

Dónde lo compro

Off line installer doesn't work on Windows 11 with the v 9 plugins, and funny enough my updated is 240$,must be they favorite price

So lets say i got v10 waves and il buy some new v14 waves plugins i still can use the plugins from v10 even when i dont update? (Waves updateplan) Im just fine with my v10 plugins but do they still work after 1 year? Even without the update plan?

waves are robbers

can you transfer everything back to garageband wenn youve done editing for example the voice track with the tuning prog in pro tools

Hi, which SSL plugins are bundled with Sigma ? Thank you!

I'm interested in why you chose this over an Avid S1 given that you are using PT? EUCON vs HUI is night and day....even the fader resolution is half on the UF8 and you cant even hit the values on the silkscreen like -10db and -20db. The faders are so gritty and noisy.

Hey, can I get some clarification please? I have v14 of all my plugins but I'm on a 2015 Mac. If I get the offline v14 installers now and upgrade to an M1 Mac in a year with no WUP in place, can I just install the v14 versions and it'll be ok? Assuming that the v14 versions are M1 compatible that is! I guess the other thing to do is buy the new Mac a week before my WUP runs out and grab the latest version, then burn those to offline?

Nothing but theft it is..
