So I bought a new Macbook...

Post by east3rdst » Wed Apr 18, 2007 3:40 pm

...and my Pro Tools and Wave bundle won't work. I was using a Windows machine in the studio, but I got fed up with it. So I've returned to Apple. I'll have to buy the PT 7.3 upgrade, but is there anyway to bypass paying Waves more money to use something I already bought? Failing that can you hook a friend up with suggestions/free plugin sites. I really only need a solid Comp/eq/reverb. thanks

hey donny,
you should really start with checking out steve massey's plugins. they are really awesome. http://www.masseyplugins.com/

this is another good resource for free plugins... the nomad factory bundle is my favorite here but i'm sure you'll find others you dig.

good luck with your new setup!

you shouldn't have to pay anything. just search the site for the intel-based mac updates. and i'm not sure if waves supports 7.3 yet. i would hold off for a bit, if it doesn't. when i got my new mac pro, i had to update EVERYTHING. pain in the ass.

Thank you!! Thats what I was looking for. I own Waves 4 so I think I'm going to have to fork out some cash, but I'm going to hold off and see if I can make use of these free ones.
