They do and Waves Mac is as expensive as Waves PC.

I currently pirate software because I'm 17 and it's pretty much impossible for me to be able to afford plugins when I only have a part time job and I make like $250 every 2 weeks, half of which goes to my phone bill...

That said, now I know which plugins I like, and I have every intention to buy them when I make enough cash.

I do buy all my music though, every song in my library is purchased of either iTunes or Beatport unless I made it.

I used cracked software when I was 17-22. Unfortunately I had so many cracked stuff with viruses and malware, that it eventually crashed my system and I quite producing for a while.

Now I'm back, with steady income buying everything I use and it has caused me no headaches.

And probably the other half to partying and impressing girls. (you being 17 'm just guessing) but think of this less phone & booze,m ore plugins? would that work? maybe it's not impossible, just priority because limited means that u can only spend once

I did the same thing when i was your age Sean, it started with buying the DAW and my choice was to spend my budget on hardware, since that couldn't be downloaded, but just like J.L. mentioned, when you get older and get more means it becomes easier to spend money on software.

I buy everything I use, with the exceptions for freeware, free samples, and the occasional free giveaway I've received. Besides all the holier-than-thou argument for buying everything, I think that you maximize your potential by using just what is available to you, instead of getting whatever you want, which could lead to (as someone said above me) relying on new and different plugins to make yourself sound better.

True, it helps focus as well, you give up less easily and get more out of your investment
