One Knob Louder! Waves has a great set of expensive plugins this one is free this weekend only. Ideal for individual tracks and full mixes alike, Waves OneKnob Louder uses a powerful combination of low-level compression plus automatic makeup gain and peak limiting to increase RMS volume by up to 24 dB.

This could be a solution for those having difficulty dealing with the Audio Compressor/Limiting issues.
One "smart" knob...
And the price is right.
Note the entire "ONE KNOB" series that is available for $$ if you like what this one does for you. "Sizzle"

I agree there is a real need for plugins that are simple. It takes a lot of time to learn good techniques for any process in recording. Just watched the video demos of Brighter, Phatter, Louder, Filter, Wetter, Pressure, and Driver. Pretty Cool plugins, not cheap but on sale.

I signed up earlier today and indeed got the serial number. Downloaded the plug in, installed it snd registerred on the Waves website. All went well. Didn't have the time to testdrive, but hey..,, a free Waves plug in... where can you go wrong?
Still discussing with myself if I need some other Waves plug ins. At these prices....

yeah I got the message... "Due to overwhelming demand, our servers are running at maximum capacity. Therefore, your OneKnob Louder free serial number has not yet been created. Another email containing your OneKnob Louder free serial number will be sent to you within 48 hours. We apologize for this inconvenience." Takes as much time/resources on the server to send me that message as to generate a serial and send it to me. However, all of their Black Friday marketing was present in the email!

Been reading some bad stuff about Waves in other forums... Waves one-knob 'Louder' FREE today, and a few bundle offers: "...Watch out on this one though. I didnt realise everything had gone to non-iLOk and when I installed Waves9 to get this freebie it wiped all my existing authorisations and I have yet to figure out how to get them back. Even gtr solo which wasnt iLok protected anyway! " "...Wow. That company is a train wreck. Good riddance to bad trash." For those who have installed, how did it go?

Yeah, same here
No auth number email, but I did start receiving their spam emails from the signup. Not a good feeling
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Anyone a heads up on the serial numbers? I know from a Belgian recording forum that there are people who received their free code today. As I stated earlier; I got my free serial number Friday, so I no for a fact it is not some sort of scheme.
When installing the plugin, be sure to select the One Knob demo and select the Louder plugin only.

Already bailed on them. They may not technically be spammers but I don't want a flood of junk mail.

I haven't had any mail from them other than the few I got this weekend. Plus you can unsubscribe (is that a word?) from their newsletter. And as I stated in several other posts before: there is no such thing as a free lunch. You get the plug-in and they get your permission to send you their newsletter. I accepted this deal. I rather read news on music-software than read about cheap drugs, certain blue pills, foreign brides or or free opportunities for horizontal sports.

I got the serial # today but haven't done anything. I don't mind getting a newsletter about their stuff at all. Just worried about any malware. Is the plug totally safe and legit?

It STARTS with music software. Once they sell your address to other mailing lists, the flood starts.

John,
Waves are one of the 3 or 4 biggest/most respected plugin companies in the marketplace today. They have no need to be a malware user, and are highly disincentived to purvey malware. Very high demand for their stuff.
This type of thing is fairly common for these well-known companies when they do freebies. Arturia had a similar situation when they gave away their Minimoog VSTi last year. Their servers couldn't handle the demand.
http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/products/minimoogv/minimoogv-original.html
I never got the freebie. Each time I tried the Arturia site, it was crashed. There was nothing untoward about the whole thing other than they bit off more than they could chew.
-Scott

I got my serial # today but haven't dl'd it yet. A bit on the fence. Here's a review. They're talking about the same product at full price - this one is mentioned around middle of page. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jun11/articles/one-knob.htmMike, this free version doesn't need an ilok to work does it? The review article didn't say but someone on another forum said it did......????

Hi Josie,
You don't need an iLok for the Waves plug ins. The key will be placed on your harddrive or on an USB stick should you want that.
Cubase still works with iLok. I have been using it for several years now and so far haven't had any problems with it.

Software called Waves Licensing Center that's the lock and it's free on waves web site. You have to check for the version to match your operating system. I haven't activated mine yet, but I have used waves diamond for years. Never got a lot of spam from them but do get adds for their latest updates and new stuff. You can reactivate ones you have and move them to other computers with the WLC software.
