I've had the Waves Ren Complete bundle for a couple of years now. Besides the initial installation/authorization, I've had to reauthorize once on a new computer when the original one crashed, and then a couple of times when the blue screen appeared when trying to open Waves plugins.
Now, the blue screen is appearing again. Cakewalk recommends to again reinstall the Waves software. But, the authorization code assigned to my Waves account doesn't work! The handwriting is on the wall...waste more time on emails and/or long distance phone calls to solve the problem. Or, cut my losses and go with another company that is easier to work with. I understand that Waves wants to protect themselves from piracy, but I am a paying customer who is no longer interested in jumping through their hoops for the privilege of using their software.
The Sonitus plugins that come with Sonar are great and I am pleased with the results...but the GUI of the Waves RComp, RVox and Desser was convenient. Is there another company that has a similar GUI approach? If not, does anyone recommend another bundle from a company that doesn't use pace or I-Lock protection? Btw, that's another thing that kills me...if you don't want to have reauthorization problems, just pay extra money for this dongle thingy so that you can use the software that you've already paid for!
