Hey guys - just a quick heads up so you can help educate folk if needed
We are changing the bundles for W10 slightly - here's the rundown
The 'Basic' version is still the same - comes with the DAW, Subtractive, Melodyne, Autotune etc
The 'Standard' version is essentially what used to be the Ultimate bundle - so adds DAW Essentials and Biotek 2
The new 'Extreme' version includes ALL our products as of today - so also includes all the RetroMods and WaveRazor
The reason we made the middle version 'standard' is because magazine reviewers focus on the 'standard' version and several concluded that there were not enough plugins included in the old 'standard' version. I know its kind of silly as you can simply add plugins to suit your need, but thats just how the press work!
These 3 'preset' bundles are really best suited to new customers - or folk that have perhaps only previously purchased the most basic DAW. If you have purchased additional products, then the new 'custom bundle builder' is the way to go. It increases the discount depending on the dollar amount in the cart - and it can reach up to 50% reduction - keeping it in line with the preset bundle discounts. Last year, there was some confusion about whether folk need to select the same upgrade each year - for example, if they bought the Ultimate Bundle, they thought they may need to buy the Ultimate Upgrade - this is NOT the case. Simply review what products you already own and compare to the bundles - if you have multiple products, use the custom bundle builder to create your own upgrade suite at a great discount.
Hope this all makes sense - feel free to ask any questions - just want to avoid any confusion moving forward

The cost to update annually has nearly doubled so I have my fingers crossed for a sale too. I was a bid disappointed when there was no traditional holiday sale on Saint Patrick's.

I am looking for a sale also on the upgrade from W8 to W10 as I live in a country that is doing very poorly economically. W8 crashing a lot lately, probably some plugins are responsible but I need to find out which ones and W10 has that nice looking plugin validator. If anyone knows when there'll be a sale, please inform.
Windows 11/Linux Manjaro KDE + Waveform 11.

If all you're updating is W9->W10, then you just want 'basic'.
(and the upgrade should probably be listed as 'Waveform Only upgrade' to remove confusion)
