The arrival of Waves Creative Access marks a major shift in how Waves handles plugin sales. For years, Waves was one of the most prolific plugin companies, releasing plugins regularly and allowing users to purchase their individual plugins at a fraction of their regular price. Now, the company has fully embraced the subscription model and removed the option to buy plugins individually.
All Plugins from Waves Now Available Through Subscription Memberships
According to the story by Music Radar, the new subscription model that Waves is embracing is a big shake-up for the company, and the wider industry. This move signals the beginning of an end to the traditional music plugin market, one that was dominated by individual plugin sales and the occasional sitewide sale from Waves.
Under this new model, all plugins from Waves will only be available through subscription memberships. The Creative Access subscription offers all of Waves' plugins for $25/month under the Ultimate tier and a select number for $15/month with the Essential tier. Fans can check more about the StudioVerse plugin on YouTube.
Unlimited Access to Waves' Audio Tools with the All Access Subscription
Both packages come with ongoing support, access to Splice Sounds+, and the new StudioVerse AI-assisted platform for plugin chain design. Subscribers also get two free months of Splice Sounds+ along with their membership. This move is an effort from Waves to make their products more accessible to audio creators of all levels.
Ultimately, this model allows music and audio creators to have full and affordable access to the Waves' library of audio tools without needing to worry about buying individual plugins one-by-one. Waves has stated that this new model is the "next step" towards their ultimate goal of providing all users with the very best audio tools.
Gain Instant Access to the Expansive Plugin Library and "StudioVerse" with Waves' Creative Access Subscription Model
Waves Creative Access is now available and can be tried free for seven days, with no limit on demo use after that. If you're an artist looking to take advantage of more options, the new subscription model from Waves might be just the right thing for you.
In addition to its expansive plugin library, member's of both tiers gain access to "StudioVerse," a collection of plugin-chains designed by artists for quick, mix-ready sound production. More details can be spotted on the Waves website.
